In 1971 I was stationed in 29 Palms california USMC. I bought a '62 pontiac. When I looked under the hood it had a little green thing in the water jacket on the intake manifold .

It was a temp sensor that fiddled with the vacuum advance. The first smog control.

Ya'll can Pi** and moan all ya want to. They will get it passed, it will come.

If you want to get away from it. Move your a@@ east. I'm in Tennessee. It takes at least 5 years for their crap to get here.

 

But it gets there!

 

so, how to explain??

 

A '62 pontiac that you bought god knows where had smog control on it? And on top of that you blame California for a "smog device" on said Pontiac? Ex-wife in California got you bitter?

 

Don't know how old you are. I'm 59. I was there in California when they Made it Mandatory to install the "new smog control device". If you brought the car onto base it had to comply with the state.

When I was in 29 palms, I helped several friends install the thing on their cars. It would not let the vacuum advance work until the car warmed up.

And yea I blame california. They started it.

 

i can understand wanting to regulate smog but what that state doesn't need is people selling bikes and driving more cars. you would need a prius to reach the MPG of your harley.

nitpicking bikers seems a bit counterproductive towards their end goal of less smog and more MPG's on the freeways out of the vehicles that ride them.

that said the state is a disaster i hated it and couldn't wait to leave. they have entire communities of illegals going to public school subsidized by the american tax payer. hospitals, schools and absolute disaster and they ignore these problems and just keep going after the good tax paying middle class to foot the bill for thier incompetance. $700 to register your new car, it's insane i couldn't wait to leave that state. it should secceed and just become its own communist country.

talk about a state that needs to clean house.

 

The bill as it was passed as of JUNE 30 2010.

LMAO, I forgot about the stupid things. Really bright almost neon green.

SEMPER FI DEVIL DOG!

 

You mean you don't think surrounding the capitol with thousands of motorcycles owned by those who like loud exhaust, right before they vote on a bll to quiet exhaust, is going to work? Maybe the legislators won't be able to hear well enough to debate and they'll just give up.

 

Where do I send my 400 dollar check so I can put any exhaust I want on and bypass the fix it part?
