    AMA Action Alert E15 Fuel

    For those of you who get AMA emails may already know. For those of you who don't here's the info.

    The U.S. Senate EPW is discussing today about E15 going into place for 2014. As many of you know ethanol is potentially dangerous for small engines. The EPA is petitioning that the release of E15 be slowed as research has not yet been provided that it is safe for small engines. See the link below for more information and an easy way to send an email to your senator showing your stance on the topic.

    I know it's short notice, but it is something to watch.

    I could care less about the type of motorcycle or brand, as long as it gets me to my destination with a smile on my face.
