Greetings All,
Here you will find links to all the ATV Clubs and ATV Associations, that I could find on the internet. This list is updated as I find them on the net, or as you fine folks tell me about them.
There are several benefits to being involved with ATV Clubs and ATV Associations, so I'll run thru a few of the high points real quick.
First... The number one rule of ATV riding is to never go alone. If you are in an ATV Club, you will always be able to find someone to go riding with. OK maybe not always, but it will be a lot easier to find a riding buddy.
Second... Lots of ATV Clubs and ATV Associations, have gotten hip to the idea of charging a dues or membership fee, and then using the money to lease or purchase a club riding area. A definite perk, to say the least.
Third... ATV Clubs can usually arrange for a club discount thru local ATV dealers in the area. Of course, the bigger the membership, the better the discounts offered. Please note that I said usually, the decision is completely up to the dealership.
Fourth... ATV Club members can be a valuable source of info about everything ATV related. Hey, that's my job! Seriously though, they can have all sorts of handy tips and info about ATV riding in their area.
Fifth... Another great benefit of ATV Clubs and ATV Associations, is the strength in numbers philosophy. Simply put, it is much easier for an ATV Club to negotiate with private landowners, local authorities, and even the local press, to keep local riding areas open, set up charity events, and get "good" coverage in the local papers or news.
I have broken this ATV Clubs and ATV Associations list down by state, and this list is in alphabetical order, to help make my job a bit easier. (Nothing personal against all of our visitors from Washington, West Virginia, or Wyoming.)
If you know of some ATV Clubs and ATV Associations in your area that I haven't listed here yet, send me an email, and let me know.
Ride Safe. Ride Legal. Ride Again...Curtis
