[mywifeknowseverythin]

required in dune areas here. it's run the flag or load up and pay the man $150. THEN go buy a $15 flag.

about a hundred miles I think....very dependent on weather since I live on the snowy side.

as for flags, they are required here in all dune areas. triangle shape, bright orange, 8 foot pole I think. yes a QC flag would be cool!

Last yr it seemed like it dumped almost 7 feet on us in 48 hrs:confused: We drank the bar dry by Sat. nite.......The people that stayed for the Super Bowl were kinda upset:laugh:

Do you use an ATV safety (whip pole style) flag?

Just wanted to get an idea of who uses a flag on their atv.

Please post the following information:

Where, what state?

Is it required where you ride?

What style flag are you using? (picture if possible)

Where did you buy the flag, and how much was it?

Would you use a QUADCRAZY flag if we sold them?

Please vote in the poll attached to this thread.

Thanks!

Yes I use them. I have the LED type. In California the BLM and the State are starting to require them on ATVs. I like it on the night rides also.

Don't use them. Don't even own one. I only ride trails.

No, we don't run any flags on our rigs. We mainly ride on private property or trails so we never had any use for them. I think they would be good on dunes but I have never got to ride any but I would like to.

I use one where it's required and some places that it's not. It's always on in the dunes (broke it earlier in the day in my pic) and on if I'm riding in an area where I can come up over a hill and get hit from somone coming the other way. The only place that I don't use it is in the woods. I got mine at a local shop in Vegas for about 14-15 bucks. It's just a plain flag with their logo on it

Down here it is mainly just trail riding in the woods so they get hung up on limbs a bunch but I do make my son ride with one (b/c his bike is smaller).

Dont have one yet need to get one someplaces in ohio you need to have one

[Sc0tt]

I don't have one yet but if I ever get to the dunes I wanna have one.

In Washington and Oregon Dunes You are Required to Have a Flag. Some Dune Locations are Very Strict on the Size, Color and Placement of the Flag (How High It's Postitioned, etc). We always keep extra flags (and poles) with us when we go out riding. It seems that we always lose at least one or two flags/ poles when our group is out riding. We like the pop-it whips. They're easy to assemble and dismantle and change, when necessary.

Some of us have our favorite decorative flags on the same pole as our "safety flags" when the safety flags (ie. orange) are required. You gotta pimp that ride!! But Always Safety First!

We don't have to use flags when we are riding the trails- Only the Dunes.

i voted yes .. but we usually only use it at places ware its required ... unless there are a real big bunch of riders at 1 of the local sand pits an it becomes a safety thing then we will use them just to help be seen ...
