tallsledder503 Posts : 5 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 08, 2006 This is for all of you dude and dudettes up here in the great state of New York. I just heard that Gov. Patacki just passed a new law for 06' that reduces the speed limit on public trails to 55mph. I know that a lot of you out there like to run a little bit faster than that, so please leave your toughts and some more info.

inspector01 Posts : 1 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 10, 2006 That is how it has been in minnesota for a long time. They speed limit is 55mph everywhere including ditches and lakes. I have yet to see anyone pulled over for it but the cops aren't too tough on that around here and i never ride trails so i don't see DNR cuz that is where they are. I ride ditches alot and they don't pull us over for going more than 55 though. And if they try to pull us over for jumping approaches we run.

SledCrew Posts : 12 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 11, 2006 I wish we had a 55mph speed limit on our trails.. Our speed limit in canada ontario is 50 km/h. That is slow, no one really goes that slow anyways but it still sucks...

jsl18x Posts : 1 OFFLINE	Posted on Mar 30, 2006 The trails in the area that I ride are just 2 sled trails. I love to go fast just like all of u. I do it at the racetrack. People have abused there right and some thing has to be done to keep the spot safe for anyone that rides. I have been run of the trails by people that think that there are snow cross racing. I will say that the people that are ride to fast on the trail are responsible for this new law and can only blame them self. This is my 2cents

allthrottle Posts : 6 OFFLINE	Posted on Oct 09, 2006 The speed limit in Minnesota is either 50 or 55. Makes no differance though. I run ditches anyways. Our trails suck in central Minnesota anyways.

Im a MN rider and iv been pulled over 3 times for speeding, all of which were on lakes. I have never gotten a ticket for it but for sure you need to be a little weary on lakes, the DNR is out there and they will stop you, But that was when i was riding my 380, now that iv got the 440 iv learned it is quite easy to out run those sissys, just takes balls so if they try to get ya, just giver a little mustard...

olsonracing18R Posts : 29 ONLINE	Posted on Oct 17, 2006 ya same thing in wisconsin, not that im saying im goin 2 go that slow. cuz i was born wit racin in my blood & if u have ever tried 2 get it out ur crazzy cuz it dont work

collinsp425 Posts : 1 OFFLINE	Posted on Oct 22, 2006 I live in Upstate New York and having a speed limit sucks. I never follow it anyways unless im riding the trails that you cant do 55. A lot of people around here are older and dont mind the speed limit but im 17 and my buddies and i like to ride as fast as possible. The law arent out on their sleds as much anymore so its not really a big deal unless you come to a check point and they get you for no inusrance or registration.

95xltspecailty Posts : 2 ONLINE	Posted on Oct 24, 2006 I live in MN and the limit on the trails is 50mph. Sucks. I have only gotten a written warnging though. DNR got me commin off a lake and showed me the radar gun which had 89 on it....good thing he got me on the slow down.....or I bet I wouldve gotten the ticket!!!!

silvershadow Posts : 32 OFFLINE	Posted on Oct 24, 2006 what do they really have a machine that could keep up to an 800 ....why dont you just out run them?

6ixth_sense Posts : 7 OFFLINE	Posted on Nov 28, 2006 theres no point in stopping for cops, they'll never catch you, they're machines are either not fast enough or they suck at riding

fcat7 Posts : 4 OFFLINE	Posted on Mar 17, 2007 That has to suck we got no speed limits in alberta. At least not that i noticed.

Rucky Posts : 45 ONLINE	Posted on Mar 17, 2007 yea, i dont think we have any, i wouldnt follow them anyways, we dont have registration or insurance, so i just run, i dont think the cops in alberta even have sleds anyways, the only place for me to get caught is on the highway, but even if they do have sleds, they're not smart enough to have decent sleds

Komakazi Posts : 9 ONLINE	Posted on Mar 23, 2007 I know if you are driving in the ditch and the cops see you, you can get a ticket because a friend of ours has gotton one.

ride_itlikei... Posts : 11 OFFLINE	Posted on Mar 20, 2008 ya im in alaska we dont have one. somtimes people get a little crazy somtimes and i guess it would be nice to have one somtimes my buddy got hit my a guy doin 70 down the trail. i shure as hell wouldent follow the rule

jeremysavard666 Posts : 58 ONLINE	Posted on Mar 21, 2008 lol our speed limit here in ontario canada 50km/h on trail..and the cops told up 70 km/h on lake....but my buddy got nailed at 113 mph on the lake and they just told him to slow it down ( zr 900) by the way

SWOllie Posts : 42 ONLINE	Posted on Apr 03, 2008 We have self imposed speed limits. You can't drive too fast or you smack a tree. The trail (the rare occasion we use them) is pretty twisty down thru the trees. Hard to go over 55mph.

xlt580 Posts : 1 ONLINE	Posted on Aug 30, 2008 i live in mn never got a ticket the only place i ever see dnr are on the lakes i ride every day when there is snow [Edited by xlt580 on 8/30/2008 at 5:45 PM]

budlightstorm88 Posts : 1 OFFLINE	Posted on Nov 10, 2008 I live in mn cops caught me last year doing 125mph on the lake. They had cop radarin and two other catch me. Almost got a ticket, but i told them there was a kink in the throttle cable, then they asked why i didnt hit the kill switch i looked @ them and said what kill switch so the cop told me to park it and go get a new cable. I had to go buy a new throttle cable just to get out of a ticket. hellof alot cheaper
