Default CARB Nails Dynojet

According to the latest AMA press release the California Air Rescorces Board fined Dynojet $1,000,000. for selling Power Commanders thatallow engines to violate emission standards.Dynojet agreed to sell a modified version that will keep emissions in compliance.....

I guess we can hide our heads in the sand and pretend it ain't happening but the EPA and their cohorts at the state level are doing their bestto force us to keep our bikes stock.

Yup... they'll just find a way to go after individuals for practicing mechanics without a business license, buying workers comp insurance, paying fees, taxes, inspections... yada yada zing zing zing.[&o]

Move on over here... you pay one time to title your bike, the tag is permanent, no annual registration or property tax or inspection or nuthin' except[sm=biker.gif]!

Agree, that's one of the reasons I left SOCAL.
Unfortunately, it seems as CA goes, so goes the rest of the states.

I read back thru the thread on this until I got to the CARB site, where I could read the cases. Read thru some of them, it all sounded likeextortion byCARB to me.And the EPA seems like an agency gone mad with power to me, extending their tentacles into all kinds of places they have no business being in. When the hell did noise become "pollution" instead of a nuiscance?When is thisfreakin CARB/EPA madness gonna end.I fear it won't end until the next revolution, I think there was a tea party over less than this crap.
