EPA Limits Motorcycle Emissions.
DAYTONA BEACH -- There's a catalog-quality photograph of a motorcycle hanging on a wall in Ed Mook's office at Daytona Harley-Davidson.
The long, straight tailpipes are tied into a giant knot. Call it the satirical model for the dealership's customer-relations honcho.
"Basically, that's what it's coming to," Mook said.
Tighter Clean Air Act emission standards, based on California's law, went into effect on Jan. 1 for motorcycles manufactured in 2006 and beyond. Modifying exhaust systems on those bikes also became tougher, limiting owners to one customized road machine in a lifetime that doesn't meet air quality standards. That bike cannot be sold for five years.
