Was that in reference to ATV's possibly?

Edit, found at following link
Ride Royal Blue Resort


NEW REGULATIONS FOR OPERATING ON THE ROADWAYS:

Effective July 1, 2017 it is now legal to operate your ATV or SxS on the designated County and City of La Follette
roadways. You can now ride from the trail system into La Follette for a shopping break and enjoy lunch, ice cream
or fuel.

1. Operators must be 16 or older and have a valid driver's license.
2. Operate only during daylight hours.
3. Must stay on designated and posted roads.
4. Must carry proof of insurance.
5. All riders must wear a DOT helmet, goggles and use a seat belt if in a SxS.
6. Must lawfully obey all rules of the road applicable to other motor vehicles.
7. Any vehicle operated in the City of La Follette shall be operated in a safe manner.
8. Regular safety checkpoints will be conducted to ensure that riders are following procedures.
9. Subject to any and all applicable laws that are required and established by the State of Tennessee.

Well there you go! Nice job finding the regulations

Our big group was always on the highway with authorities around with no helmet

I'm sure the local authorities are accustomed to just about anything. Ha
Yes it's a silly rule but if they are going to allow me to play all day in the dirt and then "ride" into town for an Ice Cream, I can play along,

Wow!! Do you have last years numbers?
Last year (2016) we had right at 64 Honda SxS total and about 120 people give or take and that was about double from the year prior 2015 takeover.
So we are growing, maybe 500 for 2019, once the sport models take off and Honda gets into the competitions territory it could get huge.

219 people.
58 - 1000's
14 - 700's
20 - 500's
35 - other machines.

Wow as in the famous movie quote.... "We're gonna need a bigger boat!"
This is awesome to see it grow from year to year. Can't wait to see how it grows further once the sports models from Honda get popular.

It’s going good. Cab is pretty much done. Working on straightening out the doors and box. Gotta order some parts but it will be there in April. Been working on our new property getting ready to hopefully begin construction this fall
I thought you were buying the house you're in .....

My truck is a little taller than stock and puts the toy hauler @13'6 ish+. Do you flinch going under some of the bridges? I swear there's some I don't clear by much.

There is one by my parents house that is 13’9”. The bottom is all kinds of tore up. I used to flinch. I just pour the coal to it now. My dad hails heavy construction equipment and said if you get stuck under it or caught hitting it your responsible for all the damage under the bridge since you can’t prove what you did or didn’t do. An AC unit is only a grand... a government repair on a bridge would be millions probably. But no I don’t flinch anymore. I’ve been towing it for 4 years and am pretty comfortable with it back there.

All interstates have to be at least 13’6”. If it’s 13’9” that s***s illegal as all hell without a permit

Hope he don't hit a commie Yankee state with a port of entry that uses height drag chains set at 13'6" Nothing ruins a trip faster than your RV getting impounded for not having the oversize permit, some even require lead pilot car with height stick.

When I hauled it back from Texas there were some low ones and I can let the air bags down if I need to. Crazy to think its as tall as a semi. But I agree, roll on and don't look back. I prefer to remain blissfully unaware

The bridge is 13’9”. I guess I mis spoke or something.

Its a bit more utilitarian than most toy haulers......But we love it.Lived in it for a year with no issues. It also has capacity ! Its rated to haul just shy of 8000 pounds, where most fancy haulers are in the 3k neighborhood. That was our main reason for going this route. The misses likes to take alot of crap lol. Bigger tanks than most haulers as well. 90% of our camping is boondocking at the races and the extra water is nice. Larger water heater and grey/black tanks. Our normal race weekends we roll about 28-29k GVW. Be glad to send ya some

Utilitarian is always better then ultra plush with what we all do. I’d rather walk in with mud on my boots and not give a crap or spend the next weekend cleaning instead of riding

Correct....I clean ours out by opening the back door,open the slide and then the sliding glass door and start from the front with a small electric leaf blower ! Then the misses comes along behind cleans the bathroom and wipes everything down quick....Can have it ready to go again in about 20 minutes. Still has all the comforts of home....just not fancy. No fire place or massage recliners, etc.


knuckledeep......More than welcome to stop by at the take over for a beer and check it out if ya like. 43ft but the grand tour only takes about 30 seconds haha. We will be staying at RBB. Not sure which site number yet though.
