The following is from the American Motorcyclist Association:

You have less than two weeks to tell the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that you support its proposal to reduce the total amount of ethanol required in transportation fuel nationwide in 2014.

The AMA supports this proposal because it could slow the introduction of E15, a gasoline formulation that contains as much as 15 percent ethanol by volume, into the marketplace. The AMA opposes E15 because it can cause engine and fuel system damage to your motorcycle or ATV, and can void manufacturer’s warranties.

You play an important role in convincing the EPA to change the 2014 ethanol mandate under the Renewable Fuel Standard. Click on Submit Comments here to fill out a form and have your voice heard.

As of January 17, the EPA has heard from more than 4000 motorcyclists! But the EPA needs to hear from more of you to counter the pro-ethanol groups that want E15 to be sold throughout the country.

During this public comment period, you can tell the agency how this proposal will help protect 22 million motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles in America–and the riders who depend on their safe operation–from inadvertent misfueling.

Don’t forget, the deadline for comments is January 28! Act today to ensure your voice is heard.

The EPA’s policy is that all comments received will be included in the public docket without change and may be made available online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided.

Now more than ever, it is crucial that you and your riding friends become members of the AMA or ATVA to help protect our riding freedoms. More members mean more clout against the opponents of motorcycling and ATV riding. That support will help fight for your rights – on the road, trail, racetrack, and in the halls of government.
