they are trying to stop kids riding dirt bikes..?
This was posted on our district site, the letter is from Greg Robinson, Owner of Unadilla… Good Afternoon…forget the good, as our country has descended into lunacy. I have spent most of the day on two conference calls relative to the subject line above, and I must say I am rather concerned about the fate of our sport and industry. Not to mention our local communities for the further loss of jobs and $$ that our industry brings in each year. It is certainly that dire..believe me. As of yesterday, all the OEMs had to pull for sale all new youth minicycles and atvs for those under the age of 13…this under order of the CPSC due to lead content of plastics and certain metals. As of yesterday, a dealer or private individual can no longer provide parts or service, to these affected machines, in which there is a possibility that those same parts may contain lead…no oil changes, plastic, levers, engine cases, etc, etc..goggles, helmets, clothing, knee braces..you name it. You may think that is just for new machines, but it is for everything new and used. The CPSC also ruled that machines under 85cc are considered toxic to the health of young children. Effective yesterday, Honda has pulled replacement parts from their service system for these machines pending lead certification…this takes 400 days. KTM, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha are doing the same thing. If you have a 1,2,3 year old machine, you won’t be able to buy most parts for it very soon. Yamaha is sending out restrictions to its dealers saying that an 85cc bike can only be sold, and should only be operated by someone over the age Suzuki ATV Accessories of 13. Now to the fun part for us as a race promoter. Because the manufacturers are now issuing these guidelines, we as promoters cannot allow a youth under the age of 13 to participate for two reasons. We are allowing someone to participate in a sanctioned activity on a vehicle that has been determined by the manufacturer and the CPSC to be unsafe for that age level. We are allowing someone to participate in a sanctioned activity on a vehicle that the CPSC has determined is a toxic substance. If you think I am joking, consider the following MX Sports is considering removing youth classes from the Loretta Lynn’s program, GNCC, and ATV Nationals…we run all three of these series and I can tell you that these classes make up over 1/3 of our entries and more than half of our attendance. The AMA will be forced to ban youths under 13 from any AMA amateur or pro competition due to legal ramifications. The same will apply to local districts and sanctioning bodies, as insurance will not be available to cover this exposure. The lifeblood of our sport are these kids..if they cannot participate, they will find something else to do, and we will not get them back. They will not race, watch, or buy products. That means Mom, Dad and older brothers/sisters won’t be there either. Unadilla would most likely not participate in any form of amateur racing..with only half or less of the entries left, it wouldn’t be financially possible. DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION YET! There are two efforts going on right now to get a temporary stay granted by the CPSC for “Off Road Vehicles.” The MIC (Motorcycle Industry Council) and Missouri State House Rep Mike Sense(#4 in line in the MO st govt) are both developing grass roots letter campaigns through websites to develop a ground swell of support for this stay. Keep in mind this is only temporary, and unless a Federal injunction or legislation is developed, this isn’t going away. There are several opinions floating around on this subject saying that our thinking is flawed and that only the sale of new units is affected…if that is the case, why are helmet, goggle, sneakers, sunglasses, OEM parts and accessories, and dealer service being pulled for these units??? I will leave you with this..if indeed this is overblown, and we are right that we shouldn’t be affected by this, it still doesn’t mean that we can’t/won’t be sued by someone using this logic, and worse yet, convince a jury that the above is true. If it gets that far, you will have spent nearly a million $$ in your own defense, just to prove you were right all along. IS IT WORTH THAT TO YOU? I will get you info on the two websites, and I encourage you to beg everyone you know that rides, owns, promotes, or attends an off road sporting event to get everyone they know in the same manner to fill out one of these letters…Every Mom Dad and Kid should individually enter their name. Then they should contact their local representatives too. Thanks for listening, and please do not think you can’t make a difference..contact your local representatives as well..explain the economic impact this will have..educate yourself on this subject as quickly as you can.

There are a lot of advantages that come with having performance ATV shocks. One of those advantages is that there are a lot more than one performance shock model. There are a few options that you can choose from.

Secondly, those models have a lot of options too. The more expensive shocks still should be able to keep your vehicle running smoothly, and efficiently. Performance shocks allow you to handle faster speeds better because you are more in control of your vehicle and are more comfortable. They have some pretty cool advantages too, such as having an ice scraper with their model that stops ice from getting inside the shock.

Good shocks should include Suzuki ATV Accessories some way to prevent hard bottoming. One way to do this is with a Micro-cellular Urethane Bumper. It stays soft, even at freezing temperatures, and stops hard bottoming from happening.

A gas cell is also very handy. It stops foam from forming on the oil. Gas cells help a lot with the ATV shock’s performance.

The more expensive performance ATV shocks have even more possibilities than the other versions. Some shocks are created in special materials. Anodized aluminum is lightweight, but strong, and is more resistant to corrosion.

Compression screws are very important for comfort levels. It also affects the performance level of your ATV shocks. Compression screws give you the opportunity to completely adjust how you use your ATV. It also gives you better opportunities to adapt with different conditions.

Other advances are continuing to be made with shocks. A raised valve, for example, allows for continuous flushing to occur. Continuous flushing allows you to eliminate contamination from your ATV.

Performance shocks are helpful with getting rid of damping as well. If damping does happen, though, you can use a shock that has a solid piston. A solid piston, and wear bands, give your shock a longer life span. An IFP wear band also keeps your cylinder from scoring.

When buying a home, the list of items to check can be overwhelming. If you’ve fallen in love with a place, you will naturally want to rationalize the bad wallpaper, fixtures that can be replaced, or a yard with weeds. Your home inspector will look at everything and probably alert you to any major problems, including plumbing issues, but he may not look at the water pipes from a seriously critical point of view. They may not leak today, but what about in a year? Polybutylene replacement can be expensive, especially when they are the ones you can’t see just by looking under the sink.

Most agree that copper pipes are the best, but many homes built in the 1970’s to the 1990’s used polybutylene pipes. This Cheap ATV Tires poly plastic resin gained popularity in the 20th century as a cheap alternative to copper that was quick to install and allowed builders to cut costs and corners, so they could move on to the next job.

Frequently, polybutylene pipes were crimped together at the joints in various ways. It is also not uncommon to see combinations of copper pipes and polybutylene pipe. Over time, the chlorine and other chemicals we use to clean our water corrode and degrade polybutylene, causing the polybutylene to become brittle, crack, and then leak. Polybutylene replacement ranges from cutting out sections of pipe to complete replacement.

We don’t see most of the pipes that carry water in and out of our homes, but you can get an idea of the quality of the pipes in a home you’re considering buying by looking for plastic. While there are different kinds of plastic pipes, if the home was built between 1978 and 1995 and you see plastic pipes or pipe fittings, they may be made of polybutylene. If this is the case you should consider consulting an expert who can give you more information about the pipes in your home.

Additionally, if you find plastic pipes in a home you are looking at, check for cracks and discoloration of the pipes. These can mean big problems down the road.

What you should look for in an ATV depends greatly on what you plan to use the ATV for. ATV is short-hand for all-terrain vehicle, and so there are many different types of motorized vehicles that technically fall into the category of ATV, and all these vehicles can be used for different things. For example, there are four-wheeled ATVs that look more like small cars or golf carts. These are not used for recreational purposes-instead, people use them for farm work, or fish and game purposes. They tend to be very powerful, they can get through thick mud, swamps, and snow, and they can carry a great deal of weight. In contrast, there are small motorcycles ATV Reviews that count as all-terrain vehicles. These lightweight, powerful motorcycles are used for recreational purposes, including professional and amateur racing on dirt tracks. There are also quad ATVs. These can also be used for recreational purposes, though they are helpful on ranches and farms.

If you are looking for an ATV for your ranch, farm, or other professional use, you want something that is big enough to haul tools, buckets, and even larger items, like fence posts. If you are looking for something for recreational use, you will want to consider your own skill level, who else will be riding it, and where you will be taking it. Overall, there are some characteristics that are universal.

First, you should always research the model that you are interested in. This research should include reviews from other people who have bought the ATV, as well as ATV magazines, websites, and places like Consumer Reports. Second, the model should have the appropriate safety features. Third, the ATV should be appropriate for the terrain and area you plan to ride. Fourth, the ATV should be the appropriate size and horsepower for your age, build, and skill level. Most new riders should consider getting something smaller and less powerful, and then graduating to the larger ATVs.

I’ve owned a few different Polaris ATVs, and really like most of them, but by far, my favorite Polaris ATV is the Polaris Trail Blazer. This is one of the most tweakable and enjoyable little ATVs around. Though unknowledgeable people claim that this model of Polaris ATVs lacks power, they simply don’t understand the strata of ATVs and how to purchase amongst the different levels in terms of engine size and whatnot.

The Polaris Trail Blazer comes with a 244 cc engine and runs about $3500. In my opinion, you simply can’t get a better deal on such a quality machine. This top of the line 2-wheel drive ATV features powerful 2 stroke Polaris 250 engine as well as a concentric drive system that helps deliver the power through the drive belt to the ground.

Overall, these ATVs are extremely easy to operate, very comfortable to ride for longer periods of time and are tons Suzuki ATV Accesories of fun. The only problem I’ve ever had with my Trail Blazer is that it sometimes requires me to wait and let the engine warm on cold days. In all fairness though, only n the coldest days here in Montana have I had any problems getting the thing to start. And that says something, as it gets pretty darn cold here.

One of the main things that I like about the Polaris Trail Blazer is that it’s very easy for inexperienced people to learn to drive. I’ve taken several people out riding on several different brands and models of ATVs and I have to say that every last person I rode with took much better to the Trail Blazer than any of the other ATVs that I own.

Among the features that I think Polaris does better than other ATV manufacturers, are superior braking and suspension systems, the automatic transmissions, as well as comfort and quickness. I bought my latest Polaris ATV in February of 2001 and I haven’t been bale to stop riding it!

The suspension on this thing is awesome. It will keep you on the trail and it’s a smooth ride all the way along, even on the roughest terrain. Of course the very comfortable seat certainly helps this aspect of riding a Polaris ATV.

I have to say that the craftsmanship seems above standard. I’ve rolled my Polaris Trail Blazer, oh, a dozen times or so and not one little bit has ever broken off of the thing. Now that’s impressive. I can’t say eh same thing for the Honda and Suzuki ATVs that I’ve owned over the years.

In my opinion, the price of $3300 is certainly very well worth it. Even though this ATV is rated as a sport ATV, you can still add racks or a tow hitch, which really impresses me. Not too many ATVs can handle utility like this one does yet perform like a sport ATV as well.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand…

Is all that we see or seem,

But a dream within a dream?

–From “A Dream Within a Dream” by Edgar Allen Poe

Waves crash upon the beach mere steps from the comfort of the shaded hammock

that envelopes me like a cocoon. A cool drink appears by my side. I drag a foot in

the sand while swaying side to side and gaze out upon the endless ocean in front of

me. The drink cools me from the inside out and I wonder… am I awake, or am I

dreaming? If I’m dreaming, let no one wake me.

Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa is someplace very easy to get to but

very hard to leave. Located mid-way between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San

Lucas, this oceanfront resort is just as gorgeous as the land that surrounds it. From

the time you arrive and spot your name posted on a welcome board near the

bellman’s kiosk, you just know this is going to be something special. Once greeted

by a porter who quickly checks your bags, you’re led to the front desk where both

warm smiles and cold champagne flow freely. Minutes later you’re escorted through

arched corridors to your ocean view room, champagne glass in hand. If you’re like

me, the first thing you do is walk to the balcony to see what you can see. I liked

what I saw… nothing but beach and clean, blue water.

The architecture melds open-air hacienda and colonial Mexican design into a

golden seaside gem. Elaborate columns line marble floored corridors, waterscapes

and lush landscaping, rich woods and unique artworks create an elegant

atmosphere. Everywhere you look there are arches. From the impressive entrance to

the front desk, these arches engage the eyes and call attention to fountains, palm

trees and at night, gas braziers that light the many levels of the resort with their

dancing flames. Multi-colored lighting bathes the grounds in warm and exotic hues

furthering the beauty that is Dreams Los Cabos. The feeling is one of grace and

refinement but without any pretentiousness.

Dreams Los Cabos boasts 308 ocean view suites. The décor is bright and

understated with first-class furnishings and upscale amenities such as robes and

slippers, a welcome fruit basket and more champagne on ice, an impressive feat as

we were several hours late yet the ice had just begun to melt. The first impression is

that the management is focused on pampering their guests and they have

assembled a well-trained and courteous staff to accomplish the task.

Suites range from Juniors that offer one king or two double beds, a sitting area with

sofa and coffee table and a writing table with high-speed data ports for those that

need to keep in touch or check on business issues. The next level up is the resort’s

Luxury Suites with all of the Eagle ATV Parts amenities of the Junior Suite but with a separate living

room with dining area. Continue up the scale and you’ll find Honeymoon Suites,

Governor Suites, Corner Suites, two bedroom Master Suites and the crème de la

crème – Presidential Suites with two or three bedrooms, courtyard entrances and as

many as three terraces. All rooms have ocean views.

Dreams Los Cabos is an all-inclusive resort, an ever-growing segment of the Cabo

resort scene, and does all-inclusive in a grand manner. Unlike most other all-

inclusive resorts, the all-inclusive concept here even carries over to the in-room

bar. No airline mini-bottles or cheap, off-brand libations ever make it into the

rooms. If you’re looking for an afternoon pick-me-up or a before dinner drink, you

need not venture from your room as both liquor and mixers are full-sized, top shelf

and part of the package. Staff members replenish both the bar and the in-room

refrigerator daily and early. The usual accoutrements can also be found in-room

including coffee maker, iron and ironing board, plus a plethora of luxury toiletries in

the marble and tile bathrooms.

There is no shortage of choices when it comes time to satisfy an appetite. With five

restaurants on-site, waiting for a table or being confined to a limited menu is not an

issue you’ll have to face at Dreams. For morning fare, order in from room service or

visit El Patio or the Seaside Grill both of which open at 7:00 AM. For lunch your

choices grow with Oceana joining El Patio and the Seaside Grill with lunch hour

extended until 3:00 PM at El Patio, 4:00 PM at Oceana and until 5:00 PM at the

Seaside. Go ahead, work on your tan a little longer, Dreams has what you need

whenever you’re ready. Dinner means even more options as both Himitsu, serving

Pan Asian cuisine and Portofino, serving Italian specialties, join the mix with all five

eateries serving dinner nightly until 10:00 or 11:00 PM. Looking for a little romance?

The staff will arrange dinner on the sand with Tiki torches and candles. Still not

enough options for you? Twenty-four hour room service is just a phone call away.

In addition to the wide variety of fare conjured up by the staff at Dreams, theme

parties, nightly live music and an outdoor movie screen add to the mix. If you’re old

enough to remember the good old days when drive-in movies were part of

American culture, you’re in for a real treat. Lay back in a padded chaise lounge,

order a cocktail and enjoy a good movie while under the stars. Just know that it’s

not always easy to keep your eyes on the screen when what surrounds you is as

beautiful as the night sky in Los Cabos.

With football season just beginning, Monday nights may never be the same. Tailgate

parties are part of the program and those hungering for good old-fashioned tailgate

foods can sink their teeth into nachos, hamburgers, hot dogs and all things football.

If the Philadelphia Eagles are playing, look for Philly cheese steaks, it it’s the

Chicago Bears, grab a slice of Chicago style pizza. It’s almost as if they invented the

game here. The surround sound system makes you feel the game, not just watch it

and there is nothing like a happy and loose crowd to make a game all the fun it’s

supposed to be.

Recreational activities are a big part of why Cabo has become the vibrant tourist

Mecca it is. On-site, the resort has a variety of things to do to pass the time

including a bungee jumper, aerobics classes, full gym and fitness center and a host

of game courts that dot the premises from tennis to volleyball and croquet. Off-site

activities can be arranged by the helpful concierge staff and include hiking and

mountain biking, golf, ATV tours and sightseeing. For those with more of an aquatic

nature, try your luck sport fishing, dive with the fishes in the Sea of Cortez, or take

to the sea on your own personal watercraft just to name a few.

Children are not forgotten at Dreams with the Explorer’s Club for Kids. The fully

supervised program is designed to entertain and enlighten the younger crowd.

Activities change daily and are not only fun but educational as well. Children explore

the worlds of science and nature and are encouraged to take part in such events as

weekly campouts in tents at the club. Parents can rest easy knowing that their

children are safe and secure – the resort even supplies a pager so that getting in

touch with a parent is fast and easy should the need arise.

For many, all the recreation wanted is the simple pleasure of sunbathing poolside

and that group will not be disappointed. Dreams Los Cabos three picture-perfect

pools, two with swim up bars, are a sun-worshippers paradise. Pool service is very

attentive and the lush gardens that surround them are just spectacular. If it gets a

little to hot, grab a pool float.

After a long day of tanning, golf or fishing, nothing rejuvenates like a little time in

the spa. From facials to massage to Salt Glow therapy, the Spa at Dreams is ready,

willing and able to pamper even the most discriminating traveler. If the tanning

wore you out and you can’t leave your room, that’s okay, they’ll come to you.

As a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Dreams Los Cabos sets a high standard

and does not fail to meet it, in fact, it exceeded my expectations and that is no

small undertaking. Wonderful architecture, outstanding staff, well appointed rooms

and attention to detail make this place a dream, just not one that I wish to wake

from.

RATES

Junior Suites with Ocean View start at around $149.00 per person – All Inclusive
