AFTERMARKET MUFFLER MANUFACTURER KICKS OFF
NATIONAL TRAIL BUILDING PROGRAM
RICHMOND, CA (April 26) - An international
manufacturer of high performance motorcycle
racing exhaust systems and quiet technology X3
off-road mufflers announces a new trail oriented
grant fund program in partnership with a
national recreation group. Leo Vince USA, a
division of Sito Gruppo Industriale based in
Monticello d’Alba, Italy has worked with the
BlueRibbon Coalition in development of the Leo
Vince Trailhead Fund.
Leo Vince USA will donate funds to the
Trailhead Fund which will be administered by the
BlueRibbon Coalition. The intent of the program
is to have grant monies available to help
off-highway vehicle (OHV) clubs partner with
land management agencies to care for, and
enhance, responsible trail recreation on public
lands.
At the 2007 Indy Powersports Show, Pietro
Mollo, founder of the parent company, stated,
“Our company is proud to be in a position to
help promote ecologically responsible OHV
recreation on public lands in the United States
of America. Most of our motorized forest trails
have already been closed in Europe and we want
to be part of the solution to keep them open in
the USA.”
“We believe our state-of-the-art quiet
technology off-road exhaust systems for
dirt-bikes and all-terrain vehicles is a perfect
fit in the establishment of this new trail
program. It is our goal that funds raised be
used to improve existing trail systems or to
build new sustainable OHV routes for use by
future generations,” Mollo said.
“The OHV industry has an important role in
helping promote good land stewardship and this
program is Leo Vince’s commitment to that
ideal,” Mollo concludes.
