Epa going after seats now!...

[rhino 2]

The EPA in their Devine wisdom want the Manufactures of the wooden beaded seats to recall All of them and destroyed ......
It seems that the wood used in the seats come from a very rare tree from northern India. And they are sprayed with a thin lacquer.. The problem is according to the EPA that when the lacquer wears off the seats the wood releases copious amounts of Methane gases..
Walmart The Major seller of the seats and Hi Side India limited the sole manufacture and importer of the seats in question are disputing the EPA's findings.. They Walmart and Hi side India claim its not the wood or the seats thats responsible for or even the cause of the Methane gas. But its the riders sitting on the seats' thats releasing the Methane Gas...

No way. I dispute that final finding. I have been telling the wife for years that the wood beeds are the cause of the methane smell.
Now all I have to do is run out and get some beeds before she realizes there aren't any on the seat.:qpnmt:

Geez, the next thing you know they'll be going after the BoB. then everyone is riding solo and the methane gas level goes down.

Another example of government encroachment on rights.

I heard the EPA is ordering special detectors (sniffers?) to not only check exhaust pipe emissions, but also emissions from the beaded seats. Offenders will have 30 days to fix the problem or face stiff fines.

Heinz, Van Camp, and Bush's corporations are taking defensive steps as the EPA is widening their investigative efforts to minimize the "Greenhouse gases".

It never ends....

What we really need to worry about is the EPA mandating E-15 fuel for our scoots & cages !!

"Beans ...... Beans ....... The musical fruit ........ The more ya eat ....... The more ya toot !" :cxtv:

 

[Dockem]

I believe it is our God given right to toot while riding. If anything, the beaded seats act as a great diffuser. Less skid marks on the seat (may need a tidy-whitey check).

Sometimes have to turn up the radio tho.....:xzqxz:

And people think that Harley riders put loud pipes on to be heard.......fooled you.....it's not to be heard.

 

[Retired Army]

Why not just install a methane converter and eliminate the need to stop at filling stations?

 

[MikeyTX]

My thoughts exactly.

I can't get my dog to ride the passenger seat.... :laugh:

I'll take beads over this stuff (although I've heard it IS good).

 

[MikeyTX]

do you mix that with gin or vodka ? :xzqxz:

Tucks pads work better.​[So i was told]....:laugh:

 

[Woolie]

I got my inspection sticker the other day and I wondered why the guy had his nose right down on the seat smelling around. I kept a close eye on him for the rest of the visit. Now it makes sense.

 

[bikerbillone]

Can't ya just see the government man checking wood beads, sniff, sniff, big nose and all. Damn those people, get all up in your business everywhere.

Press release from the Clinton Campaign folks:

"We are extremely concerned about the reports recently released by the EPA regarding methane gases. Mrs. Clinton has vowed to appoint a special commission whose sole purpose will be to implement policy regarding air quality. This commission, dubbed Air Sniffing Syndicate or A.S.S., will have the ability to setup Air Quality Polling Stations (AQPS) across the country with the authority to apprehend offenders and take possession of their vehicles. Mrs. Clinton will be personally involved in the first AQPS that will be operational as soon as she is elected President. These air pollutants are a serious threat to our way of life and will be eliminated."

EPA officials need to find better things to do. If they want to detect methane gas they need to ride on public transportation. Take the bus someone always rips a good one, may make your eyes water. :laugh:

Yep' In my Youth i rode the NYC Subways, And believe me contrary to what most people from out of town believe' It was no picnic riding underground' Crowded in a subway car next to the Great Unwashed... And it even got worser in the Summer...:gah::xszpv:

 

[DblTrbl]

Is it me, or has this thread gone to crap?:xzqxz::xzqxz:

 

[Dockem]

Or hot air? :laugh:

 

[rhino 2]

Thats where it all started from; Hot Air... Methane. If Kraft has to collect and recycle Methane from its Cows' Why shouldn't Harley collect and recycle Methane from its seats.. Most of the Harley seats are wide and deep so theres gotta be pools if deadly Methane lingering in them....:Shrug:
