Small bike and ATV ban.

[Ud_luz]

I don't know if anybody is up to speed on this issue but the CPSC has banned the sale of any bikes or ATVs primarily intended for use by children 12 and under by Feb 10th, 2009. Dealers cannot sell bikes or repair parts for any of the affected models. My understanding speaking to the Honda dealers is the CRF 50/70/80 is affected. Yamaha dealers told me all TTRs 125 and under plus anything else of small displacement are on the list

The owners of ThumperTalk have a petition to the CPSC. Please look into this issue. The repercussions aren't good.

Letters, phone calls and emails to our various representatives and to the CPSC are in order.

Thanks, Bill.

Note: Admin, if you could sticky this or create a new thread addressing this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm still dumbfounded at the sheer stupidity of our governmental officials.

Excuse me, I'll be right back. I need to make sure the kids aren't eating their dirt bikes.
