You just need a ramp in the right place then jump over the fence Dukes of Hazzard style (you're probably too young to remember). Yeeee Haaaaaaa!!!!!

I think you can buy plastic skids that fit under the quad that pull the wires down and stop them from catching. Rappa maybe??

Length of poly pipe with a v cut in the end. Drive up and use the v to up and over the wire as you drive under if cattle or under the bike with sheep

NZ farming page on FB had a video of a guy driving over electric fence with bike and trailer.
He just had a length of plastic coated metal sticking out the front of the bike on an angle upwards... It caught the wires and pulled them down as you drive forward, so the wheels could get over them. Once the bike and trailer was over the wires just spring back up.

The farm I worked on in Australia had paddocks under a centre pivot irrigator. For the irrigator to go over the wire it had metal 'skids' to guide the wire under the wheels and chassis. Some of the contractors machines had the same frame underneath, I'll see if I've any pictures.
Each run of wire was tensioned with a massive spring at the end though, otherwise you wouldn't have enough tension to stop it going slack and still let machines over it.

If your not going over too many drive up to the fence between the posts, put your foot on the wires then trigger the throttle to send bike over. Not so simple if you have trailer and don't put your hand on the bike until the wires are on the floor (you'll only do it once with a good energiser)

Just a touch less throttle next time............This I've got to see!

I do this^. The look on the dogs' faces as they sail by is priceless.
However, DO NOT do it with the ATV RAPPA sticking out at the side, in 'winding up' position. It is EXTREMELY painful and can send you a good ten yards across the field.
Whatever you do, make sure you do not do the above several times every winter. That would be just stupid.
