Ladies & Gentlemen:
If you live in California and are not aware of SB435 you should be. A bill is before the appropriations committee to start smog testing motorcycles. See below. If you believe this is utter nonsense, if you believe this is nothing more than a revenue generating gimmick for the state, if you believe you're going to get screwed on fees YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!
Contact your legislators to express your opposition now! It is very, very important to do so particularly if your legislator is a democrat.
Please get behind an effort to stop this nonsense!
