Best Iv'e found so far and it dont look good.

Billy what am I missing? As far as I read this there still is nothing about ban of operation of existing threewheelers just a requirement for manufacturers to give a refund if requested.
They can't say "return your threewheeler or we'll take it from you" They can only provide a means of a refund if you choose soo. its lieka recall. Just cause a car has a recall it doesn't mean the owner will actaully get the recall taken care of.

I still don't read where it says anything like

"3 wheeled atvs ownership and operation is prohibited under penatly of law."

I don't thinik they have any legal grounds to do such a thing. The only thing they could possibly do is prohibit thier use on public land but thats pretty much up to the individual state anyway.

So far what I've read I don't see where anything they're proposing is too outlandish, the no atvs at night bothers me and a few other small things but most of it is common sence that anyone should practice anyway.

If people would just start doing most of this stuff without the government intervening then things would be better.

I sitll have yet to read anywhere "we're taking your threewheelers away!!!"

So, refunds for threewheelers? I think I coud find some "nice" ones to get the refund. Or is this just for the new ones? I honestly think they want to ban the production of any new ones coming into the country, they couldn't take them away from us. I don't think the states will ban them either, they would lose the money coming in from registrations.

Same here. I read this trash 3 times. There is nothing that says some gastapo is going to kick your door in and take 3 wheelers.
Seriously, there is nothing that says to "ban" the riding of wheelers.

WELL Is it just me or what...im gonna buy as many 06 trikes asap and tell people there illegal and get durrs lol ( well even if its only my neighbor with the tigr

[Tri-ZNate]

if they actually do this "refund" thing they will most likely require you to have a title for the machine or a bill of sale. So basically that means alot of people who choose to do such a thing are S.O.L.

Your Jap trikes are safe, they just want to stop the chink trikes from commin from what I understand.

[wheelie king]

There is no way that gov't will come and take any existing (or vintage)trikes. Storage, transpotation, legal resistance, etc., would make it literally impossible. As far as riding them goes, there is already huge opposition to the in FL, because ALL of the private parks and ATV recreation areas DO NOT allow them. Anyone know about Ocala National Forest???? Far as I know, if you pay the Reg. Fee, you can ride whatever.........

[team-red-rider]

Not True! The Fortmyers And Suncoast Mx Trax Allow Trikes!

That's not racial or anything!

[grundlegrabber]

Don't just look at the clause about three wheelers, guys. If they are allowed to pass this legislation, they will be one step closer to banning ATVs entirely, which I'm sure is their ultimate goal. Every time something like this gets thru, we lose a little more of our freedom and our sport. Think about it, who the hell wants to buy a new quad that only goes 10mph? That would be like a freaking power wheels jeep or something. Basically they are telling you you are not allowed to teach your kids how to ride. What 12 year old wants a quad that is limited to 30 mph? When I was 12, I was riding stuff that would do 60. Never got killed or even seriously hurt, never hurt anyone else, never killed anybody's dog.

Fun and safety are two conflicting concepts. As soon as safety is brought up, fun is lost. When you take a step back and look at the big picture, the government has been slowly outlawing everything that could possibly hurt anyone. The result is that people are no longer thinking for themselves and they are no longer developing the concepts of common sense, coordination, caution, etc. We are creating a society of stupid, lame woosies. In nature, it's survival of the fittest. An animal does something stupid, it gets killed. Other animals learn not to do the same stupid thing or they will get killed. The result is a population of sharp-thinking animals that don't need anybody to hold their hand and take care of them.

Other parts of the world look at Americans and laugh. In teh eyes of the world we are weak and stupid. We are doing this to ourselves by allowing our government to tell us what's best and to keep us from engaging in activities that may potentially be dangerous. I hear to many people saying "it doesn't immediately affect me so I don't care". What you don't realize is that it is affecting you, slowly and subtly. One day you will not be able to go out and buy a new performance quad or high powered sportbike. Then you will see how this BS crap really did affect you. We should all care about what's going on here. Write to your elected officials and express your disapproval of what the CPSC is trying to do here!

That's all for now!

Well boy's this can only mean one thing. A lot of tickets... Or a lot of pissed off police that can't catch us

[3WheelsOva4]

What is the site linkage to that though? Because I still cant find it.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

3 wheelers dont hurt people.

Drivers on cell phones do.
They should take a look at them stats

I can vouch for this because some *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited* decides he is going to floor it and pass 2 cars around a bend and we were about 2 feet away from being in intensive care.. The *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited* didnt even slow down either. Some teenager talking on his cell phone in his gay arz H2...

When I was 12, I had a 1985 ATC250R, when I was 11, I had a Blaster 200 and a Polaris Sportsman 500HO..

[threewheelin-feelin]

i do believe the CPSC can go to hell .....also i want to see one of these new 3wheelers ....i had no clue they were being produced again are they being sold on dealerships here? and i think if we voice are oppinion more the CPSC wont have the power to do this.....there is strength in the numbers and between 3wheelerworld 3wheeler.ord and the other smaller websites there is a lot of voices to be heard.....just keep the letters going out.....and dont give up....and one more thing the world is already so over populated the last thing we need is some company trying to protect idiots that dont know how to slow down when they make a turn....let them kill there selfs!!!
