Dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), snowmobiles, and other off-road vehicles are major sources of air, water, and noise pollution nationwide. And they rank among the most serious human-made threats to safety and health on public lands and waters.

i wonder where they get their facts? they must not realize that cars out number off-road vehicles at Least 20 to 1. oh i guess they dont make pollution!  ??? i dont hear them whining about cars!

I just sent them a long long long email with probably about 4 pages of EPA statistics showing just how little ATVs and other OHVs actually pollute the environment compared to cars and other vehicles.

With these groups the facts do not really matter as they rely on the shock value of what they say. Most americians will not research the facts before repeating the and this is how they get their message across to the masses. As with any political group if you repeat anything enough it becomes fact.

These groups all have deep pockets and the backing of social figures, entainers and politicians that are easily recognized to help them get their message out. They target an area, publish propaganda and rally the masses until they get their way.

Good post Papa--This is how it is done. It does not take that many people to start this kind of propaganda. We will have to make them to liberal for their stupidity.
