The motorcycle community is in complete shock and is now scrambling trying to get exceptions passed. It's not only the motorcycle industry that took a hit over the new lead regulations ... it's book stores that sell childrens books, the toy industry, libraries, consignment stores, and on and on. The intent of the law wasn't to hurt those businesses, but rather to protect children ... the bill slipped trough Congress with little opposition and now the impact could damage the American economy to the tune of over a billion dollars.

Google "Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act" and read for yourself.

Don't sleep on H.R. 669 because it seems crazy ... crazy legislation can absolutely become a law ... information is coming on what exactly you need to do to prevent this bill from going anywhere ... keep an eye out for www.nohr669.com.

wait... WHAT?!?!?! I've been out at the local motorcross park alot lately and havn't heard a thing about it this by the watercooler... does this outlaw only new products off the showroom floor, or all models, even those made in prior years? Thats ridiculous.
