On July 19th, the 40 Plus Vintage Group volunteered at Hollister Hills repairing and doing maintenance on our fleet of training motorcycles. This has been a yearly tradition for over a decade, and it is great to see these relationships continue. We can't express enough gratitude to the 40 Plus for all the work they did this year and all they work they have done with the park in years past. Thank you.

This years work day holds some extra importance. Hollister Hills will soon be using these bikes to provide free dirt bike safety courses to the public. More information will be coming out soon with details.

For any questions, please call our office at (831)637-3874.

According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC), all OHVs must be equipped with an exhaust or muffler system that sufficiently limits the vehicle’s sound to a specified level.

All OHVs (including ROVs, dirt bikes, and ATVs) manufactured after 1998 must be at or below 96 decibels when tested from 20 inches away at an engine RPM determined by the vehicle manufacturer. Older competition vehicles may have a higher limit depending on where the vehicle is being operated.

If you're curious about your sound level, we are planning a free sound test day in the Upper Ranch in June, so stay tuned! If you have any questions about sound law, please call the kiosk at (831) 637-3874.

Herman Liebenberg (The Troll), accompanied by Tim Garcia (a current volunteer), spent their weekends in the 90s planning out the trail and hacking away into the soil and rocks. With their knowledge and experience, they've contoured the trails' lines to work with the land and test riders looking to strengthen their skills. What trail should we do next?
Interested in becoming a volunteer or attending our next trail committee? Please give us a call or head to our website for more information.
