THIS can be an issue and one I agree with. However, make that a + for the community. It's a small town, they could use all the revenue they could get. Go deputize Cletus, paint a star on an old public works truck and slap some gumballs on it and after posting the noise and route ordinances on a small yet legible regulatory sign under the "Welcome to Silverton" sign at the city limits and go hand out local ordinance violations.
It's not about the 4 wheelers near as much as it is about censorship.
Limit one person's options or rights in favor of another's....
Off roaders are in a constant battle with the (apparently majority) Eco/Enviro crowd to at least maintain some ability to enjoy their passion despite increasing, sometimes unfounded regulation.
He!!, me an my family are offended by the smell of weed, when we're walking down the street. It's stinky too and it has arguably worse connotations than riding an atv.
I bet there's a pot shop or 3 on main drag and someone with BO and smelly clothes toking up outside. Tell me what's the difference, hippies...

And they are stinky. Not an issue out in the boonies, but downtown it sucks.

Have you been to Sedona? The worst thing about Sedona is those side-by-sides! They suckk. Noisy, and totally trash the dirt roads. They are rented by vacationers that shoulda gone and rode the roller coaster. They treat this nice peaceful wonder like a race track and think they are not annoying.
Did I mention that the dirt roads are destroyed all the time because of these side by sides?
Worst thing ever!

Stinky?
Now I know you’re just being dramatic. As there isn’t a SxS made that is a 2 stroke and nary a quad made that is still a 2 stroke, maybe none.
Therefore, they are all 4 cycle save for maybe the odd person on a classic race quad like an old Banshee, and many of them have catalytic converters to boot.
Sarah Bernhardt would be proud!

I started this thread a dozen pages ago. Here is an update:
I wrote the following to the Silverton Mayor:
I just learned of the city council vote to ban OHV vehicles in town. This news is sad to hear. I guess the townspeople want quiet streets and quiet cash registers.
We were in Silverton last September for a week of OHV riding and spending money in the local economy. It seemed to us that most all the people staying in town at RV parks were also driving OHV vehicles.
We thought we were helping the local economy by eating our meals in local restaurants and shopping in local stores.
It's sad to learn that the people of Silverton no longer want the business of OHV vehicle owners and renters.
My friends and I will no longer be spending our money in Silverton and hope the town can do without us. We will be looking at other towns that want our business.
