Add Your Voice to
the Fight Against the Ban on Youth Motorcycles and ATVs!
The American
Motorcyclist Association (AMA) continues to ask all
riders to protest the recent ban on certain youth
motorcycles and ATVs by contacting their Members of
Congress
On Feb. 10, 2009, the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA)
effectively outlawed the sale of off-highway vehicles (OHVs)
intended for youth riders 12-years-old and under. Since
that time efforts by the AMA, its sister organization
the All-Terrain Vehicle Association (ATVA), the
Motorcycle Industry Council, the Specialty Vehicle
Industry Association, the Blue Ribbon Coalition, the
Off-Road Business Association and others have spurred an
outpouring of letters and phone calls to the CPSC and
federal legislators.
AMA and ATVA members,
racers, riders and fans across the country have
responded strongly to the collective calls for action so
far, but our work is not over. The current ban on the
sale of youth motorcycles and ATVs still threatens the
very future of off-highway recreation in America.
Members of Congress and
the Chairmen of the CPSC must continue to hear from
everyone in the motorcycling community if we are to
reverse this ban. You can quickly read more about the
