DEEP DIVE INTO SENATE BILL 708
The signing of Senate Bill 708 will have a ripple effect across the entire off-road community for years to come. As VP of Government Relations for the Motorcycle Industry Council notes not only are desert racers impacted by this Bill being signed into law, there are 13 “CARB States” that essentially mirror legislation in California. Since we were at MIC HQ for a Board Meeting it seemed like a perfect opportunity to get Mr. Schloegel to take a deeper dive into the ramifications of the Red Sticker replacement program.

Dirtbag Brands Dishes The Dirt
As a long-time road rep and a lifetime enthusiast, Josh Salazar likes hanging out in dealerships. So much so that when it came time to launch his brand of UTV accessories, the entire business plan was built on dealer-direct sales. Now going into year #5 of becoming an overnight success, he has not wavered from that commitment, despite spending even more windshield time personally visiting brick & mortar Mom & Pops than he did when he was a rep… and he wouldn’t have it any other way! Josh joined us in the Dealernews LIVE hot seat at AIMExpo.

The devil is in the details so we went down to Georgia to fiddle around with Honda Motorcycles & ATVs's new E-Clutch system. From a dealers' perspective this technology stands to open the market to millions who have never operated a manual transmission... without alienating experienced riders. "Think of it as a quick-shifter for city traffic," explained project lead Junya Ono. Of course, that is not what it really is, but that is close enough for a layman to grasp what the 4.2 lb. lump mounted on the right side of the CBR650R and CBR650s we would be riding on the track, backroads of Georgia and city traffic.

TUFR Tech Dealernews LIVE Video
GETTING TUFR ON THEFT
The 1955 film To Catch A Thief featured Cary Grant and Grace Kelly with a retired thief attempting to clear his name. The star of this TUFR Dealernews LIVE segment is Jeremy Van Winkle who believes to catch a thief you have to be in the mindset of a thief... but he also believes the best way to prevent theft is to stop it before it happens. To that end he devised TUFR Tech. Van Winkle, a former meth addict who hit rock bottom after his addiction led him to steal powersports vehicles to feed his habit. But through hard work and determination, Jeremy was able to turn his life around and not only overcome his addiction but also use his experience to help others in the powersports community.
