TRAIL HELP NEEDED!
The riding season is here and the trails are open, but we still need plenty of help to get 'em and keep 'em in shape this summer!
As an incentive to all you riders, we've come up with a bonus for all who pitch in and help this year. Here it is:
You volunteer 30 hours of time on the trail maintenance program this year, and we'll reimburse your '09 membership fees! That's right. We'll give you your 50 bucks back for your TOWATV membership and your VASA membership too.
Check our new Calendar Page for work sessions, other events, dates and times.
Please! We need your help! We have a large and great system of trails, and we need you to help to keep them great!
Contact Bob Tucker for more info and to volunteer.

New Federal Law Bans Children's ATV Sales
Lead Concerns Lead To End Of kids ATV's and Motorcycles
the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, enacted August 14 of last year, has gone into effect and bans all products designed for children ages 12 or under which contain lead over specified limits. The Specialty Vehicle Institute of America and Motorcycle Industry Council are attempting to get an exemption for ATV and motorcycle parts.
On February 10 large inventories of motorcycle and ATV products that present no health risk to children have been rendered retroactively illegal and future products prohibited from sale. These products may need to be destroyed resulting in severe hardship for dealers and manufacturers in the motorcycle industry. Along with the current state of the economy, this may be a hit that dealers and manufacturers will not be able to recover from.
The New regulations will apply to all current inventory as well as future production at the commercial level.
Replacement and aftermarket parts and accessories will be included in the ban, so current owners will not be able to obtain parts for machines allready in their possession.
