SABMAG] Death of minibikes?Thursday, February 12, 2009 8:33 AM
From: "Patrick Mullen" <pmullen.lists@gmail.com>View contact details To: undisclosed-recipientsSo there is a letter being sent around urging people to sign a
petition to get an exemption for minibikes from the CPSIA - Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act, which limits lead in childrens' toys.
It seems the law is too broad and protects children who may be
inclined to eat motorcycles. Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha have already
instructed its dealers to not sell minibikes or parts, as stated in
the letter to dealers on Motorcycle Daily.com (first link). Second
link is a second source of information, as other sites online all
quote Motorcycle Daily.

Tom Self, US Representative from Missouri, has an online petition set
up - http://www.tomself.com/
As a father who has been counting down the days until I could buy the
first minibike for my kids, I ask that you please sign the petition.
I've put in the due diligence and believe this to be real.
