Ride your OHV only in areas designated des-ignated for their use. The best way to protect your riding privilege is to stay on the trail. Do not carry passengers on single-person machines. However, never ride alone and always let someone know you itinerary. Carry tools and survival gear in the event of changing weather conditions condi-tions and mechanical failure.
