I encourage the Board to delay implementation of these proposed
changes until a viable electric motorcycle market is achieved.

The potential costs to existing and future motorcycle owners are
downplayed in this analysis but will be significant on an
individual level. These changes will result in riders being forced
to go to four-wheeled ICE vehicles and the State and will not see
any proposed air quality improvements. 

The small business community will be directly affected by these
proposed changes, resulting in job losses and less availability of
service, sales, promotions and advice to motorcycle riders and
owners. 

The State of California is currently facing a dramatic budget
shortfall. These proposals will result in lower tax revenues and
directly-increased costs to the Government.  Our tax dollars will
be better served by focusing Government
actions upon markets which create vastly greater emissions and
pollutants than the ONMC market could ever impact.
