"Is there anything that can be done than can completely absolve a landowner of responsibility in the case someone gets injured, killed, or otherwise damaged while riding on their land?"



No. Waivers can afford some protection but even if you have them sign every waiver imaginable they can still sue. There are variations from State to State. Better check with an appropriate attorney.



I have a few acres in the mountains that I ride on. I only allow a couple of very close friends to ride on it with me. It's just not worth the risk.

That's quite true. Back in 1980 I was riding down Rampart Blvd on my W2-650 after working on New Year's Eve and a drunken illegal alien ran out in front of me on foot. I hit him and broke his leg - compound fracture. 10 months later some lawyer calls me threatening to sue and wanting a settlement. I said, "Go ahead. All I have is a couple hundred bucks in the bank." I never heard another word.
