March 21, 2014 Dear Members of the New York State Senate and Assembly: We are writing to you

today to let you know that we support the all-terrain vehicle definition update included in the Senate Majority Coalition one-house budget resolution and urge your support. This definition update is critical to our businesses as it will allow all-terrain vehicles and recreational off-highway vehicles (also known as side-by-sides) that we sell to be registered in the state of New York and ridden on ATV trails in the state. Currently all-terrain vehicles that weigh more than 1,000 lbs. cannot be registered and can only be ridden on private property. The proposed definition change increases the maximum allowed weight of an ATV from 1,000 lbs. to 1,500 lbs. Over the last several years, ATV sales have declined while side-by-side sales have increased. These vehicles are very popular at our dealerships, and the vast majority of these vehicles are currently restricted from registration in New York and restricted from access to ATV trails due to weight. By including language increasing the weight limit for ATVs in New York State, the Senate has shown its commitment to the hundreds of small businesses across the state that sell and service these vehicles. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this issue further or if you have any questions about how this definition change would impact our businesses. Thank you. c: Hon. Dean Skelos Hon. Jeff Klein Hon. Sheldon Silver Hon. Joseph Robach Hon. David Gantt
