Riverside, CA (3/20/2009) - Multi-line
Motorcycle Dealer Malcolm Smith Motorsports in
protest of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act (CPSIA), which prohibits the sale of youth
motorcycles and ATVs deemed unhealthy for children
less than 12 years of age due to supposed high-levels
of lead content, sold three youth race machines
at its dealership yesterday afternoon.
Three bikes were sold, two of which were KTM 65SX
models. The KTM motorcycles were sold to multi-time
AMA National Champion Jeff Ward and Troy Lee,
owner of the most premier custom designed helmet
company, Troy Lee Designs.

The group of motorcycle celebrities’ on-hand
agreed to purchase the banned units as a sign of
their support of Smith’s Kids Love 2 Ride
Protest and hopefully bring more attention to a
matter that is detrimental to the future of motorcycling
racing and recreational riding. “Motorcycling
has always been a family sport and the new act prohibits
this from continuing - we need to work together
now to put an end to the ban on minicycles,”
remarked Todd Baldwin, Malcolm Smith Motorsports
General Sales Manager.
