No, No, No, we don't want those suckers back east. Let them stay in the mess they created.SolidAxleDurango wrote:

The best thing about living in California is listening to people gripe about how unbearable a place it is to live and how they can't wait to leave. Unfortunately the state must be full of people without any initiative because no one ever does and more stream in every day. Most of what people complain about are the very things in place to make it a place worthy to live. Doesn't make all of the rules right but it beats the alternative of no environmental regulations at all in the most populous state in the union. Check the recent news reoprt about the air quality in China. Reminds me of the Los Angeles area back int he 60's. Seven of the ten counties with the worst air pollution in the United States are in California. American Lugn Association "State of the Air" Puts a whole new meaning to the phrase "Suck it up".
People gripe because an unelected and unaccountable board is making random laws that do not fix the stated problems. Being said I agree that modern Carb restrictions on motor vehicles have resulted in huge benefits to air quality; the problem is that the board now, having picked the low lying fruit, is focusing on random "polluters" that will have a negligible impact on air quality.
BINGO! That was the point of my earlier post. I've lived in Burbank all my life, I remember the dark smoggy days when it hurt to breath at football practice (or just running around as a kid). But to sustain their existence (and jobs) they continue to seek out BS items to ban or regulate. Exactly how much benefit will everyone get out of this? "Bang for the buck" is the operative phrase.T bone wrote:

That's not the California way. The California way to get things back is to tax until you break everyone, then tax some more. Hard to believe one of the highest taxed states has all the budget problems it does.
Just be thankful this is all they're looking at for this hobby. You should see what's going on for hunters and ammo.carringb wrote:

Prevailing winds head East. Legislation on the west coast have a direct impact on nearly every other state's air quality.
I don't mind OHV changes. They pollute disproportionally to cars. The alternative to this would be even stronger requirements for cars and trucks would would be many times more expensive.
BTW - Blitz makes a CARB fuel can with a lever-actuated nozzle. This one works pretty good.
Blitz is out of business.- On the news they said golf carts would be exempt! lots of politician's like to golf ?

Kill some termites instead of the OHV's.

Just my opinion
its going to affect all of us sooner or later, other States will follow Kali's lead,
The manufacturers will most likely produce one model that meets Kali's standards and sell it to all of you.
The manufacturers will very likely sell fewer models to avoid certifying as many models.
The price of a OHV WILL go up.
The good thing that could come out of this, fuel injection will most likely be used, that makes life easier for those who ride at various altitudes.
The price of cars went up due to smog and safety equipment (airbags, etc.). People still buy cars. Of course in many parts of the country you have little choice but to own your own vehicle. Fortunately, OHV vehicles are usually not a necessity.CKNSLS wrote:
