I never would snorkel my machine but why is it illegal, what if you are from out of state and come here to ride our trails, now you have to dissasemble your quad to make it legal. Is it to prevent people from tearing up wetlands or what? I hate to say it but the people who tear sh*t up they ain't suppose to are going to do it whether they are snorkeled or not, they already have the wetland law so this seems kind of redundant to me, unless I'm missing something.
