The reason the lead ban, and the reason it’s still in place for youth ATV and Motorcycles has some clarification. I really hope we can all (I know I’ve asked before) get behind the new bills and urge all of our local government officials to support these new bills so we can stop the madness. It has gone on long enough. [Read more →]
Although it is great news that the House of Representatives failed to pass S. 22, the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, we are not quite out of the woods (pardon the pun) yet…
Read this email (reposted) sent to me from ARRA-Access: [Read more →]
Finally some good news for the OHV community!! This just goes to show that if we group together and work as a team we can accomplish something great. Stopping this mass land grab IMOP qualifies as something great!
I’m also pleased with my very own representative Rob Bishop! It’s nice to see all the letters I sent him did some good and that he is in fact looking out for his constituents best interests! [Read more →]
Is it me or are we as an OHV community being assaulted by the government? It sure as heck feels like we are, and not one bit pleased about it, and you shouldn’t be either…
From what I gather this particular bill that I’m referencing is a bill for the state of Illinois, so your state, if different, shouldn’t be affected… or will it? Even if the bill is only in front of the IL legislature, you can be assured that their will be many states that will eventually follow suit. Do you want that in your state? I sure as heck don’t.

I don’t know who or how many of you get the ARRA-Access (Americans for Responsible Recreational Access) update emails so I thought I would post the email I got from them in case you hadn’t seen or weren’t aware of the current status of some of the political stuff surrounding our sport. Including some new stuff. Yes, I know it’s just a cut and paste, but it’s important information that needs to be shared. [Read more →]
I’m not sure why we, the OHV community, aren’t getting any media time, but it’s maddening. I admit I don’t watch much television, but I haven’t heard or seen a single word of coverage about the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) ban on Lead over 600 PPM (parts per million). Maybe I just haven’t seen it, which is possible. [Read more →]
