The Commission finds that the public's need
for three-wheeled ATVs (given the continued availability of
four-wheeled ATVs) is small and that the effect of this
rule on the cost, utility, and availability of three-
wheeled ATVs will also be small.

Good CHRIST that pisses me off more then anything else. "The commission finds that the publics needs are small" BAH!

If its so small and the availability is so limited, then why even bother in the first freakin place?

0: "Three-Wheeled All-Terrain Vehicles", Memorandum from Tanya Topka,
Compliance Officer, Recalls and Compliance Division, CPSC Office of
Compliance, CPSC, to Elizabeth Leland, Project Manager ATV,
May 22,2006.

This subsection is missing from the 231 page doccument. I'll see if I can locate it.

Well the way I see it, they are not banning "use".
Look at 1307.6
180 days from final issuance and applies to MANUFACTURING.
They are trying to stop these no-name importers from bringing them into USA.

Yes I do agree the federal govt has not business interfering with peoples lives.

http://www.cpsc.gov/LIBRARY/FOIA/FOI...ief/ATVpt2.pdf This appears to be the rest of the doccument ChrisD located.

IT also mentions "sale" and deeming them a hazzardous material. It does not specify sale, so it could be applied to individual sales. They'll make it like guns or something in the best case scenario if we're even allowed to keep them.

Just run high pressure tires on your trike and it will no longer "fit" the definition!

Gotta love loop-holes.

What also pisses me off is the gov't spending time and MY tax dollars on something so ridiculous as worrying about 20-year-old ATVs.

It is exactly like guns. You can't buy new TEC-9's anymore but if you own them, you can use them.
The thing that I am afraid of is there will be the possibility of banning the "use" of trikes on any federal land. National forest's, BLM lands.
And far as state owned land, federal govt can override state laws.
You can thank president Lincoln for that.

What if ebay were to take the same stance on banned trike parts as they did with so-called assault rifle parts and quit allowing their sale on ebay? ! ?

It could get out of hand really fast.

**Russell 350X** · 06-02-2006, 09:52 AM

They CANNOT take them away from anyone, becuase of "Grandfather Law",which means if you own a older machine, they cannot take it away because these machines are old. If they do get away with taking them away, they better give me money to go buy a 450R. Stupid sh!t basterds!

**crackshot** · 06-02-2006, 09:52 AM

You know this is dangerously falling into constitutional rights such as "Freedom of choice".
We CHOOSE to own 3 wheelers. We know the risks involved. It is our CHOICE.

That is EXACTLY the type of thing I'm highly concerned about. What would we all do then? What type of a snowball effect would we get from that? Would the OEMs and aftermarket be even more determined on discontinuing parts?

I'm sorry but you guys really need to stop thinking and believing your immune to this and wont effect you, IT WILL. There is no grandfather in. Places in the past have came around and seized all firearms people have owned, even as recently as New Orleans after Katrina this happened. It happened to perfectly legal law abiding citizens, but they were legally taken from them with absolutely no recourse against the governement from taking them. The NRA is trying to fix this right now, but my point is there is no immunity, do not rely on or expect it. If they want something, the they will get it unless there is one hellacious movement against it.
