John, I am all for a 3 day pass. Good idea, but needs to be for all riders not just out of staters. I bought permits for 4 states and Canada this past season. Rode MI about 100 miles total. I could of skipped it as many did and saved the $45. But I rolled the dice and took a chance. 90% of my MI riding is in the LP. Permits are a necessary evil. With less funding for next year it won't surprise me from all the anticipated whinning. MSA is what we make it. It is our state club that fights for our trail system. MSA is made up of mostly all volunteers. They (us) who are members are on JDee. Not sure what Dave B. expects, he needs to make the meetings maybe??? The trails are what we make them. Yes the riders, not just some older guys with a passion for the sport. Anyone can be an arm chair critic.

Yes, I did say that, and I bought 5 permits last year. Ridership has gone down and low snow has caused less permits to be sold. I changed my stance on this because if the trails are to survive then more money will be needed. So at this time I think a $45 three day pass and a $60 or more seasonal pass is in the near future. And no, I have no plans to buy a Michigan trail pass this year since Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Ontario are more what I choose to ride.

Pretty sure it's the same as if driving an automobile. Not 100% positive.

It is the same as driving a car or boat. .08 is about the strenght of a breath mint! lol. That to me is zero. The days of bar hopping on sleds are for the few who still don"t get that they just may need their license.

I agree....I don't have to worry about it cuz I don't drink and ride, but I didn't (and don't) want to turn it into a thread about that.
