FUNDS BLUERIBBON COALITION OHV SOUND REDUCTION PROGRAM FOR
03/04
Pocatello, ID -- Once again, the world's leading aftermarket
performance motorcycle exhaust manufacturer is teaming up with
the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) to educate off- roaders about
the need for lower sound emissions by off-highway vehicles on
forest trails. FMF Racing's $5,000 dollar grant will allow the
BRC to help the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and
clubs get riders into compliance with the new 96dBA limit in
California.
Since 2001, FMF Racing has produced the aftermarket's only
focused performance exhaust targeted to meet new sound
restrictions. The revolutionary Q exhaust systems are the
world's first 2-stroke off-road silencers and 4-stroke
off-road mufflers to combine strong performance while
minimizing noise output. The Q systems were developed in
anticipation of the 96dBA sound limit that became law in
January 2003.
According to Don Emler, FMF Racing's owner and president, "FMF
is proud to support the BRC in this program. I know that a lot
of riders benefited from this program last year. Our FMF/BRC
Sound Testing Program for OHVs will be at various off-road
racing events and at dealerships educating the riding public.
Quiet bikes will help keep areas open for motorized
recreational use."
 Don Amador, the western representative for the BRC, said, "I
know riders appreciated our program last year and were glad to
see FMF taking the lead on 'engineered to be quiet'
performance exhaust systems. These products will help riders
get quiet as the American Motorcyclist Association launches
their 96dBA limit at sanctioned public land events starting
January 2004."
"The
Malcolm Smith endorsed Q series of quiet mufflers and
silencers enable riders to become members of 'TEAM STEALTH'
while still enjoying a high level of performance. I'm proud of FMF's commitment to promote responsible off-road use on public
lands," Amador states.
