As a reminder over this New Year’s holiday weekend, many off-highway vehicle riders will be out enjoying their OHV’s in the Morongo Basin desert areas. This weekend, the Morongo Basin Sheriff’s Station will have OHV patrol units out meeting with riders and campers, educating them, and issuing citations if necessary. Riders need to obey all local, state, and federal laws pertaining to open OHV riding areas and should keep themselves up to date on current OHV laws. Remember that all vacant lands belong to someone or some government agency, so please respect private lands and remain on designated OHV riding trails and areas. If you need to report OHV violations, please contact Sheriff’s Dispatch at 760-956-5001. ROP broadcast student Danny Bass joins us with reminders with reminders about how to ride safely…
Many Morongo Basin residents enjoy riding off-road vehicles. Here are some safety tips from Dirtbikesafetytips.com to keep you safe. Dirt bike safety is important whether you’re new to the sport or it’s a dream. The standard safety equipment is a helmet, goggles, boots, a neck brace, a chest protector, a jersey, riding gloves, riding pants, and a hydration pack. Use the ride with a buddy system, never ride alone, just in case an accident happens.
