Hey Oneal, I live in Tripoli WI and bought my 1500 from Erv's in Tomahawk. They are aware of the 3,000 limitation on the 5 passenger XD and will tell you that Wisconsin will not sell you a required registration for the Crew XD. The registration is required for road riding here. I believe the same is true in Minnesota, but they have a 2,500 max weight, so my 3 person machine is not Minnesota friendly at this time. Although these limits will probably change, I do believe these registration limitations still exist.
The road/trail trips I have been on here are fantastic. My buddy Eddie has introduced me to rides to Hayward, Hurley and Eagle River and at 67, I enjoy a more "mature" ride that has been up to 145 miles per day. It's great to have a trail guide with familiarity of the state. (Thanks Eddie!)
Stay riding my friend...
