From their site @jspeedracer88 “ TWRA requires that helmets be worn by children under the age of 18 while riding. Ride Royal Blue staff will enforce the use of helmets for children on the resort grounds. Children should only operate age appropriate machines and the resort does not allow children to cruise the campground. Safety is paramount at Ride Royal Blue and we strongly suggest the use of helmets for everyone.”

Our little club ride aka Pioneer Takeover has definitely gotten its sea legs. Current counts as of 6:30 PM 3/15/18

Definitely gonna need more group leaders and chase volunteers from our veteran members. I'm still trying to wrangle how I will handle 30+ P500's LOL.
But these are good problems to have.

What is required to ride on the highway
There are 9 legalized sections of roads marked ATV route that you can get to one place or another without much hassle. That being said, you are supposed to have a windshield or eye protection and a helmet, in addition to horn, turn signals, seatbelts, etc.

The aforementioned being noted, unless you draw attention to yourself local LEO just let you go about having fun. TN State troopers are hit and miss, I have had 4 good encounters with them just waving at me, in each case had a windshield , my lights on, and wearing seatbelt. Some have been stopped and ticketed for ( no helmet on road, alcohol, speeding, general stupidity) by TN law only those under 18 must have a helmet off road.

General rule of thumb wear seatbelt and have eye protection while acting normal no one will pay any attention to you.

You should, and I would always say yes. Too expensive to not have insurance. To really be street legal absolutely, along with equipment noted in my prior post and a Category 1 or 2 license plate ($11 a year). More info here:

Multi - TN SxS now street legal

Idk if the have plates for them in ky where I live
Gotta invest a few minutes of your time and read the thread discussion. There is a PDF of the law that addresses out of state sxs. Facebook has ruined everyone's attention spans.

Readers digest version here:
Multi - TN SxS now street legal

In other news, Ride Royal Blue campground is beginning to advertise thier new addition that will be up and going for 2019. This is a mile before you get to the main campground. Rumor was they were going to sell some of the spots outright, however the alleged asking price was $60K :eek: for a 30 ft. X 90 ft. RV spot.

FYI you can buy 5 acre wooded mountain lots all around this area for as little as $20K with nearly direct trail access.

This is basically how I approach life in general. Don't put anyone else in danger and just act normal. 90% of the time it works every time.

I will lead a group this year and talk @BIGRACK or @Clyde to be the caboose of our group.
