I thought I had read it all, but obviously not.

I guess the California CARB board is going to outlaw vehicles painted black (or dark colors).  I guess it's another way of banning carbon emissions.

so it will mean no more "dark / black" Ducati's either. (DMV rules apply across the lineup?)

The actual CARB Presentation which is under review -->

For those who live in California, please scream as loud as you can!  (inevitably "what is good for California" inevitably gets adopted elsewhere unfortunately)  Else we will all end up driving yellow, white or silver painted cars (and Ducati's) as they are more "enviromentally friendly"...

I bet people will save a lot of gas by not running their air conditioners on their Darks.

I love how stupid legislators are...Actually, we elect them, so...I love how stupid WE are.  I live in Jersey, and even I HATE CARB.

Really? When do the rest of us get medical marijuana?

In all reality, this is stupid. Can't they just make super dark tinted windows tax deductible?

nevermind more efficient mass transit in L.A or a rail system that sucks.......

just keep belting out cars and do nothing to try to minimize the # of 'em on the road....

Brilliant [bang]

On a serious note, no it doesn't.

Has anyone read the links? I didn't read a sinlge thing about motorcycles. I also read a portion that stated that certain types of windshields would eliminate the paint requirement.

The sky is not falling.

So, after reading the whole .pdf, when they talk about reduction of temps strictly due to the paint they are talking about 1 degree C. Are you kidding me? 1 make the beast with two backsing degree?

Maybe one or both of these people need an email.
