NEWLY RE-DESIGNED NOHVCC BOOTH DEBUTS AT CYCLE WORLD INTERNATIONAL MOTORCYCLE SHOWS

Local NOHVCC representatives and supporters man booth at seven different venues throughout the country

   "In past years we've always had at least one or two of the NOHVCC staff in attendance at each show with assistance from our local representatives and supporters," explains NOHVCC Communications Director Steve Casper. "For 2005-06 we're trying something different by having the booths manned exclusively by NOHVCC folks from the area the show is being held in. This works out great in two ways; our overhead costs for attending is cut considerably, and the local NOHVCC reps manning the booth can better address the many questions regarding local issues that always pop up at these shows...Read more and find a complete IMS schedule>>

Triva Question

If you're storing your OHV for the winter, what is one of the most important things you should do regarding the fuel system?

(see answer below)

 

Ain't nuthin' better than a couple a wheelers, a bucket o' suckers, and some prime ice fishin' holes. The ice fishing season has already started in the northern reaches of our country and ATVs have become the vehicle of choice for getting all the gear out onto the lake. In some states such as Wisconsin, there's a law that all vehicles on the ice must have an approved flotation device attached so the machine doesn't sink to the bottom in case of a mishap.

Triva Answer

Top off the tank and add the recommended amount of a fuel stabilizer such as Sta-Bil. This additive will keep your gas from breaking down and leaving a gunky brown “varnish” on your carb’s parts. Then start the engine and run it for several minutes to make sure you get the treated gas into the carbs.
