sledneck Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Groomer, I have a question for you and I hope you can help me. We want to come back to the peninsula to ride atv's and side by sides. Do you know number 1, if side by side's are allowed on the peninsula, and number 2, what is the maximum width of a side by side? Or, what is the narrowest bridge width? Thanks Groomer!! If you don't know the answer but know who does, please leave me their phone number or email. Thank you. Sledneck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
