Motorcycles join environmental effort with MIC backing
The Motorcycle Industry Council formed to aid eight million riders and represent cycle makers, distributors, and trade unions. MIC works with government agencies including the EPA and Department of Transportation on noise and air pollution. They note most noise comes from post purchase modified exhausts, not stock machines, urging balanced regulation that acknowledges motorcycles as recreation and transport.

Self service gas growing nationwide amid embargo rebound
After a slowdown from the oil embargo, self service pumps are rising to about 12 percent of gas sales with forecasts of 40 percent by 1980. Consumers save up to five cents per gallon, while fewer repairs are done at stations and attendants shift toward independent repair work. The number of service stations has surged, mainly gasoline only outlets, over the past two years.
Worn shocks warn of danger and service check advised
Unlike a tire that suddenly blows out with a loud bang worn shock absorbers can fail with little warning. To avoid danger ask your service man to check shocks every time the car is on the hoist for a lube job or similar service. This is important if shocks have more than 20 000 miles of wear.
