NEWS UPDATE: Currently, the Massachusetts State House of representatives is reviewing Senate Bill NO 2772 (formerly known as House Bill 3592, and thereafter Senate bill 2735) , go HERE for the full text of the actual bill. For those of you who don't have time to read the thirty page document, let me summarize. Tucked away in the depths of this bill is a provision which would outright BAN children of the ages fourteen and under from operating motorcycles and ATVS!!! We're not just talking about situations on state property, but even on your own private property, or a private trail system! If this bill passes as is, it will CRIMINALIZE you for allowing your children to ride a motorized recreational vehicle of any sort! Thats right, jail time!

The organized motorized user groups are working together to tackle this problem as effectively as possible. One way we can do that is spread the word to you folks and encourage you to PLEASE contact your state representatives via phone (preferred), or by U.S. mail, or at least by e-mail (this is the least effective means of communicating with our legislators, please make a phone call if you can!) Here is the information YOU need to find out how to contact your legislator.

Welcome to the NorthEast ATVers website! We are a bunch of people that love to ride and promote a good image for the sport. We support work done throughout the NorthEast in an effort to gain new lands to ride on and preserve the lands we have. We are currently working to change the image of ATVing in general. Oh yeah, we also like to bust each others "chops" in the process! Come and join in all the fun!! Head on over to our forum and post up!

There is a dedicated board in out forum which has some of our members rides listed in it. Along with pictures of these toys, there is a list of mods associated with the toy as well. Feel free to breeze on over and check it out. Better yet, why don't you submit your toy to Koko, who volunteered his time to administer that board. Send an email to him with your member name, picture of your ride, and a list of mods and he will add it to the board!

Each month, we will be featuring one of our riders toys in this section. It's a great way to meet some of our member, and see what they have for their rides! In future months we'll be adding a small rider bio as well, so you can get to know rider as well as what they ride!

It is very important that all ATVers do their part to help change the image of ATVing. One of the best ways to do this is through work parties. Many times, organizations schedule a day where they go out onto trails and perform maintenance. They clear blow downs, put in new water bars, clean up garbage, do trail projects, etc. We all hope that every ATV rider volunteers at least a single day every season to do trail maintenance. Check out these scheduled days on the Work Party page, and feel free to let us know if there are any other scheduled trail maintenance days out there!

There is always someone riding from our group, or so it seems. There are places to ride in both Conn. and Mass. Check out our calendar of events. Also listed on the calendar are upcoming meetings for different clubs, groups, and activities. For more information on any of these events, check out the meeting board or the riding boards.

Check out our club links pages (in the column to the left), we have just met some new clubs in the NorthEast and have their links up for people to use. On the other hand, if your link is not there, feel free to email us so that we can add it. The more the merrier!
