March 13, 2009
probably in the wrong thread but very important.
March 13 2009 ( IMPORTANT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to see as many ppl as we can get at the state capital on march the 13th . THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Other states are joining in on the same day to make the biggest impact we can. If you dont know whats going on read this and all ajoining links. http://www.rocketmadness.com/forums/...ad.php?t=33242
This has a huge impact on all riders not just the minis. Our dealers are being put out, our kids are being put out.
We are a community, lets support our rights as riders and the right to assemble to stand against what we know is wrong.
All riders, all bikes, all involved

Re: March 13, 2009

we need to stand together or the government will slowly take away all our freedoms not just bikes from kids. just think of all the great riders today that started alot younger than this retarded age limit.

Re: March 13, 2009
So, what are we expected to do? 
Go to our state capital on march 13th and do what? This doesn't seem that organized. I live in Cali, where do I go, how many other will be there. I'm not just about to show up and be the only guy saying "hay, don't do this" There has got to be a better way to do this, like sending a petition to our local congress man or something like that. I would like to do my part, but give us some details.

CPSC Approves Sale of Units for 12- to 15-year-olds
Publish date: Feb 15, 2009
Dealernews / Joe Delmont
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said Saturday it has heard the concerns of the motorcycle and ATV industries and riders and is responding by taking action to meet their needs. The agency has decided that machines designated for youths ages 12 to 15 - formerly the Y12 category - are not prohibited under new lead content regulations and can be sold, an agency representative confirms with Dealernews.
"It's time for everyone to be aware that those models for youths 12 to 15 are not deemed to be children's products under the law," said Scott Wolfson, a CPSC spokesman. "Those that are the old Y12 or any newer version of a model [for 12- to 15-year-olds] do not have to come off showroom floors and can be sold appropriately to young riders," he says.
The agency is charged with implementing the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) that was signed by President Bush last August. The law limits the amount of lead in paint and materials contained in products designed primarily for youth ages 12 and under.
Wolfson said dealers should "keep in touch with CPSC. We have heard the voices of those throughout the industry and those who are riders. We're working as hard as we can as an agency. We have a vast child safety law we are continuing to interpret and implement in the right way."
While Wolfson said he could not provide a date when the agency would be able to act upon petitions presented to it by the MIC/SVIA that would permit the sale of youth products, he urged dealers to view the situation calmly.
"We really want to calm down dealers," he says. "They should get (the youth models) off their showfloors and back into holding areas. It's only been a matter of days since we received the industry's petitions.
"We're dealing with more than ATVs - we're dealing with every single product for children under 12," Wolfson continues. "We need a little bit more time to process the petitions and make assessments. We want our decisions to be based upon sound legal judgments."
Wolfson said the agency is reviewing situations based upon child safety factors, the law as it's written, and priorities and resources within the agency.
"The industry needs to settle down," he says, "and give the agency the appropriate amount of time to review the petition and make sound decisions that will benefit everyone in the marketplace."
The new regulations went into effect Feb. 10. Any products for children that don't meet the requirements specified in the law cannot be sold. These items include ATVs, dirtbikes, apparel, and related parts and accessories, in addition to many other products for children.
