it seems like alot of time spent on the forum is too meet up to ride or trade tech skills, why can we do the same thing with self reg.? were all here already having the debate anyway...
and it's a good excuse to get out and ride w/ur pals more.

I am not a tue ANARCHIST, but I doo push the bounds of libertarianism to the very edge, so Im not much on regulation of any type for our machines. That being said, I believe that the above is the way to go. If this were the case then we would have at least some evidence of integrity and unity. At some point we WILL be challenged(attacked)....we are going to need a LOBBY....and who better than ourselves?

Be interesting to know how many of these kits are sold in the US a year. Like Paul said I too am the only person I've ever seen on one.

As a side note I tried self regulatin once but I ran out of prunes.

I beilieve that if we keep letting the government tell us what's safe & what's not, there will come a day when they start issuing tickets for not wearing a helmet while walking down the street!! (seriously)

I think that the stupid people who put giant engines on the cheapest china bicycles they can find, & go racing down a pot hole covered road will all die! & it will be kinda like natural selection where only the smart people will survive!!
