Yeah, southern Indiana is a nice place to ride but I am trying to get down to the Hatfield & McCoy trail system down south in KY & TN yet this fall to see what that's all about. And I also hear that Land between the lakes in KY is nice.

I've been to land between the lakes and it is very nice. However, it didn't appear to me to be a place that ATV/UTV would be permitted to ride. Have you heard that it is?

Yes, I have read about it on other forums (the ones where the buggy's break down a lot). Turkey Bay seems popular but it is closed due to storm damage right now? And the website mentions 100 miles of trails but the forums talk about going off trail to find more areas, I have no idea if that is allowed or not. Also, they mention a helmet, here you dont need a helmet if you have a cage so I dont know how it works there. We have a new SRA here in southern Indiana called Interlake that is around 3000 acres and I cannot find enough time to go down and explore much of it. 6 hours in July and we barely made a dent.

The law in Michigan is you must wear a helmet on an ATV.
On a UTV, you don't need one if you have a roof that meets the criteria of a crash helmet.
I know the Honda plastic roof alone doesn't meet the criteria, but add the seat belt and a roll cage...
kinda left up to interpretation. Drove past a DNR truck headed in opposite direction on a county road without a helmet,
turned on the first 50" trail I came to and throttled it...just in case.

I'm a Hoosier that's visited Interlake 6-7 times. I'm about 20 miles south of Indy so Interlake is still a 2 hour drive. Some good riding but no comparison to the H&M system in WV. Love Hatfield and McCoy trails.

I just got mine and it's starting to get cold here in Omaha. My brother has a 700 and him and his buddies ride Colorado and in SD Black hills.

Not doing well with my 700 in the Rockies. It’s bad enough that it doesn’t have a low range, put it at 10-11 K feet and it bogs down on real steep climbs, I have to back down and abort.

Been preaching this since 2014. The 700 is an anvil, but it is NOT the best choice for high-altitude riding.
