The heat is on. I've also read on the Web that Jesse James was fined either $200k or $300k for building violator bikes. I thought it was the EPA but don't know for sure. It's hard to tell truth from rumor on the internet but both reports ring true.
Here's another one, last year I was talking to the owner of one of the big SF Bay area dealers here in the East Bay and he told me that one of the local big time HD dealers had been fined $600k for modifying emissions stuff on bikes. Of course this is just more of the, "Billy told me that Jimmy told him that he read somewhere that..." Anyway, the dealer that told me that said they wouldn't touch any bikes with aftermarket pipes or any other non OEM emissions stuff. However, while I was at another Harley dealer's parts desk a couple weeks ago a young babe was there ordering a Thunderheader for her boyfriend's Dyna. He was going to install it himself.
I wonder if Dynojet made enough off their PC's to cover their fine. Everyone knows, "You don't step on Superman's cape."
Being an outlaw has its benefits and penalties. My bike is a rolling $10,000 EPA fine....but they gotta catch me first. I'm still flyin' under the tree line.  |
