Break the chokehold on motorcyclists’ rights and safety posed by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Currently the EPA is trying to all but ban performance aftermarket parts and high performance motorcycles in general by enacting tougher emission standards.....
At present, the EPA is poised to impose unacceptable emissions control standards on street motorcycles. These new standards are extreme and unnecessary for the following reasons:
Every new make and model of street motorcycle is cleaner than ever before – twice as clean as the old 1975 standard requires.
Street bikes are not even a relevant part of the vehicular pollution problem. If all street vehicle pollution emissions were equal to the length of a football field, the contribution by street bikes would amount to a quarter of an inch on that field.
Tougher standards will wipe out custom shops, the aftermarket parts industry, and small-volume bike makers, eliminating tens of thousands of jobs across America.
Tougher standards will reduce motorcycling in America. Riders will “vote with their feet,†meaning that they will find constricted bikes unsafe and unacceptable. The result will be sales declines and unemployment. And, as riders turn to passenger cars, the result will be more gas consumption, more road wear, more traffic gridlock, hence more pollution.
