The US Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), responding to the threats caused by lead found in children's toys (mostly from China) has implemented broad sweeping product requirements that will make it illegal to sell motorcycles & ATVs targeted to those age 12 and under. PLEASE sign the petition in the link below to put the brakes on this!

As of today, it is LAW that any machine 85cc or less and any parts for these machines be removed from dealer showrooms and shelves. Another great change courtesy of Obama!!!
 
A motorcycle forum I visit had several dealers post up today that they had to pull all their dirtbikes and fourwheels for kids off their showroom today.
 
So I thought we lived in America.... Land of the free !!

Soon parents will be thrown in prison for not having their child in full body armor to go outside and kick a ball around

No wonder the youths have no morals. They will be confined to computers for the rest of their lifes.

Someone take out this dictator already !

Local Cat dealer got a letter from AC today saying that they cannot sell the 120 sleds and youth atv's. Recall.

[B]Parents, dont let your kids chew on cable ends. [/B]

Damn where were these people when I grew up? Lead paint, gasoline and lead sleds..... Excuse me I have to twitch now..... :face-icon-small-ton
 
Welcome to the U.S.S.A. United Socialized States of America. :mad:

This law also affects sales between private parties, AND used equipment. :mad:
Our once great country is being hijacked right under our noses. :mad:

It's mind over matter. Congress doesn't mind, and the people don't matter. :mad:

And of course the greenies won't mind that those "polluting" mini bikes and sleds are off the market.:mad:

Whats next? Bend over and grab the ankles Amierca.:mad:

just think 4 more years of this kind of crap I may need to get a night job to pay for enough :beer;:wine: to make it
 
I talked to a buddy that works for the dealership and here's the really crappy part. The dealer is taking the hit right now. The o.e.'s are not sure what to do but the dealers have paid for these and now have to put them in back. Instant loss unless something changes. This is there way of cutting us off. Now our kids can't ride until they are 12?

**URGENT**

As of Tuesday, February 10th, 2009, the small powersports industry has all but been shut down. This affects not only dealers and new units but individuals all across the U.S. New and used units as well as parts avilability for every used unit in the nation has been called under question. This issue is far reaching not only financially but also concerning safety. With the suspension of proper sized ATV's and motorcycles suspended, young riders will be tempted to use improperly sized and built machines which could (but Lord willing won't) lead to severe injuries.

There is a waiver now setting before the Consumer Product Safety Commission in Washington DC, but has not been acted upon as of yet. We need every available rider, Mother, Father, Grandmother, Grandfather, Aunt, Uncle and any relative, friend neighbor, business or personal contact or any person who is a legal us citizen to get involved. They need to access this website, read the sample letter, type in their name and addresss then click the "send a letter on my behalf" icon below it. This will generate correspondence to all the committee members in Washington that are on the committee that oversee the commission that could act upon this. The commission members as well as my office will also receive copies of the letters set so we can be the most effective voice we that we can. The sport as well as the industry is in turmoil and time is short. The future of small powersports is at risk! PLEASE ACT NOW!!

There is a possibility that if this fawking retarded law isn't repealed that the machines targeted will have to be destroyed. This is so beyond rediculous that it makes me sick. I'm sure glad we voted Obummer into office... jeezus. I thought it was bad that OR passed a rule that kids under 7 can't ride, I'd gladly take 7 over 12! Fawk I've been riding dirt bikes since I was FOUR years old!!!
Need to go vent... wish I had a mini bar at my desk :mad:
 
Signed as well. How the F*ck this ever got passed is beyond me. Its been said before, but this is just another example of America going down the toilet.

I can't believe they think a 12 year old would try to eat part of their bike, quad, or sled. My 3 year old nephew doesn't eat random stuff, so why would a 12 year old? All this is going to do is seriously piss off more consumers, factories, and most of all...the dealers.

If washington wants a 2nd civil war they may just get one.

**edit...no they wouldn't. I dont see any liberal p*ssies signing up to defend anything.
