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.
Manufacturers, dealers and parents that ride all understand that kids just don't chew, lick or ingest parts of and/or their motorcycles and ATVs and small displacement motorcycles and ATVs are not just for kids (E.g the Pit Bike Industry, new riders, wives, etc...)
While anything is possible, not all things are likely. So, these requirements defy common sense, will not have a measurable impact on child safety, but will unduly harm the powersports industry during turbulent economic times and will deny our kids and future enthusiasts from participating in a positive and healthy sport and family oriented activity.
This petition will be referenced in a letter written by ThumperTalk.com on behalf of its half a million monthly visitors, used as support in the case to exempt motorcycles and ATVs from these new product requirements. The letter will be submitted to the US CPSC as public testimony concerning this issue.
Sign and send to all you know. We need to show that many others feel the same way about this as we do. Your kids and future riders are depending upon your action today!
Thanks in advance for your efforts.
Sincerely,
