ATVs near the Manitowish River?

Friends;

Take a look at the photographs at this promotion at the Artic Cat site. When people fork out money for an expensive machine, this is what they will be expecting to be able to do. After all, the site says "you can harness this winning ground clearance and durability on your favorite trails." At least some buyers are going to be disappointed that they can only legally go on a trail they could have ridden with a good golf cart. They are going to want to use their machine to go ALL TERRAIN- (its in the name, after all). It looks like fun to me, actually.

The ATV industry promotes responsible trail use when it wants new rights to trails, but promotes irresponsible use when it comes to sales, because THAT IS WHERE THE MARKET IS.
