CFMoto CF250T V3 and CV250T V% Recalled - Again
Do you own one of these potentially dangerous CFMoto motorcycles? This looks like the same recall that happened over a year ago (closer to two years now) but which suddenly disappeared from the federal government's recall database in less than a month or so - apparently after CFMoto tried to get the federal safety investigators to change their mind about the recall and cancel it. Well, it's back.
If you own one of these potentially dangerous CFMoto motorcycles, and your dealer isn't helping you (if they are still in business), and the factory isn't helping either, then call us on our Toll Free Lmeon CFMoto Hotline at 1.888.331.6422 for free lemon law help, or email us right now. Getting rid of lemon CFMoto bikes and getting your money back is what we do. Making them pay for our attorney fee bill? Well, that's only fair - after all, you didn't build it that way so why should you have to pay to make them take care of you?

Say Thanks to Those Who Served
Let's forget about recalls for a minute.
A few years ago, a local farmer came in to see me for some help. Bills and crop prices and debt had him over a barrel and we talked about bankruptcy and what it could and couldn’t do to help relieve his situation. He was a big strong man, the way some farmers just naturally are, both in his heart and his size. We were about the same age but he looked so much older.
His situation took about 5 months to get resolved but I will never forget the day that I learned that he was a chopper pilot in Vietnam about the same time as my older brother, Larry, was there. I had no clue and never would have guessed.
We both stopped what we were talking about, his own current problem, while he looked out the window and quietly talked about what it was like then, back in Vietnam. It was hard for me to look at this older and much heavier man and try to imagine what he must have looked like back in the days of 1966-'68. Now, he was mostly bald and probably weighed a lot more than he did back then, but like me he had been young once too. Now, he didn't move as quick as he undoubtedly did in 'nam either.
But you could tell from the distance in his eyes as he spoke that he had never really left it all behind him.
He talked about what it was like to fly a chopper in and out of valleys and hills and fire, dropping down as quickly as he could and picking up a wounded soldier or two and getting back out of there, wherever "there" was, as fast as he could. Nothing but plexiglass between him and the bullets.
He said he loved flying helicopters then, but that he was never in his life as scared as he was in those few minutes between the time just before he would land and when he was back out of the worst of the fire. He said they were the longest minutes of his life. He called it "dodging a lifetime of bullets," scared to death that one of them had his name on it.
He had a dusty old baseball cap in his hand as we talked. It hung loosely in his hand as he gazed aimlessly out the window. It was from some team that didn't really matter, I'm sure. His eyes were never in the room with us as he calmly and matter-of-factly talked of how men died around him and also of those who came back like him.
You could tell he had memories he wished he didn't have. He said the worst feeling he had from the whole war was that every time he'd lift off the ground he knew that while he was getting out of there, he was leaving other boys behind. He'd fly away, his heart pounding loud in his chest, while the fighting went on below him.
After a long while, he stopped talking and we just sat there, not talking at all. I could see that things were going on inside his mind and I just didn't know what to say. I was dumbstruck by this seemingly now-gentle giant of a man who had been through hell. Truth be told, I didn't think I had a right to say anything at all. After what seemed like the longest time, both of us returned to the present moment. He never spoke about it again.
It's been years now. I don't even remember his name. Probably most of the guys he saved didn't remember it either. I haven't thought of him since then until my older brother sent me a recording he found on the internet, called God's Own Lunatics (click below) that explained what it was like to be one of those foot soldiers on the ground. I clicked on it, listened, and the memory all came back to me.
I recall that he was the son of a local farmer who had gone off to war and came back all grown up - to be his father's son, a farmer again. Something about beating your swords into plows seems appropriate for me to end this note but it also seems so trivial a thing to say. I can still recall his face.
We all owe veterans a whole lot more than any of us will ever be able to repay. If you know someone who served, shake their hand and thank them. You don't need to say why. They'll know.

Arbitration can take away your lemon motorcycle rights and stick you with a bad bike
Did you know that some motorcycle dealers won't sell you a car unless you agree you won't sue them if they rip you off? It's true, but it doesn't have to be that way.
A bill was introduced in the US Senate and the US House of Representatives today to stop big business from taking advantage of US citizens by their growing routine use of fine-print mandatory binding arbitration clauses that take away your basic right to go to court. Americans need this law.
What follows is the press release issued by the National Association of Consumer Advocates. It explains what some of your legislators want to do to protect you from getting ripped off. Please read it and then write your senator or representative and tell them that you want them to vote FOR the Arbitration Fairness Act so your legal rights can still be protected.

Sens. Franken, Blumenthal, Rep. Hank Johnson Introduce Legislation to Protect Legal Rights of Consumers
Bill Would Remedy Supreme Court Ruling, Restore Consumers’ Rights to Justice Through Courts
WASHINGTON, D.C. [05/17/11]—Today during a press conference, U.S. Sens. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) announced the introduction of legislation that would restore consumers’ rights to seek justice through the courts. The Arbitration Fairness Act would eliminate forced arbitration clauses in employment, consumer, and civil rights cases, and would allow consumers and workers to choose arbitration after a dispute occurred.
“Workers and consumers should never be forced to give up their rights to get hired for a job, or to get a cell phone,” said Sen. Franken. “I’ve introduced the Arbitration Fairness Act to ensure that workers and consumers have the right to choose arbitration over litigation, instead of being forced into it by corporations.”
"Consumers fighting for fundamental rights against giant corporations deserve their day in court," said Sen. Blumenthal. "This new law would protect countless consumers in Connecticut and around the country from powerful companies that take advantage of them. When individuals have legitimate claims against big corporate interests, they have the right to a level playing field. "
“Forced arbitration clauses undermine our indelible Constitutional right to take our disputes to Court,” said Rep. Johnson. “They benefit powerful business interests at the expense of American consumers and workers. These bills are designed to defend our rights and to re-empower consumers.”
In AT&T v. Concepcion, consumers brought a claim against AT&T for false advertising. However, because the value of their case was only $30, their case was consolidated into a class action. AT&T sought to block the lawsuit by pointing to the mandatory arbitration clause in the service contract but lower courts applying state law rightly invalidated the arbitration clause because it banned class actions entirely.
In its 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court overturned these lower court decisions which sought to protect consumers. The majority of the Court held that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) barred state courts from protecting consumers from these arbitration clauses. However, the FAA was originally passed to ensure that the courts enforced commercial arbitration agreements between two companies, not between companies and consumers. The Supreme Court’s expanded interpretation of the FAA allows companies to insulate themselves from liability when they defraud a large number of customers of a relatively small amount of money.
What the Arbitration Fairness Act Does:
- Restores the original intent of the FAA by clarifying the scope of its application.
- Amends the FAA by adding a new chapter invalidating agreements that require the arbitration of employment, consumer, or civil rights disputes made before the dispute arises.
- Restores the rights of workers and consumers to seek justice in our courts.
- Ensures transparency in civil litigation.
- Protects the integrity of the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, among others.
A longtime advocate for consumers and workers in cases of forced arbitration, in 2009 Sen. Franken passed legislation with bipartisan support that restricts funding to defense contractors who commit employees to mandatory binding arbitration in the case of sexual assault and other civil rights violations. Rep. Johnson, a longtime champion of workers and consumer rights, first introduced the Arbitration Fairness Act in 2007.
At today’s press conference, Sens. Franken and Blumenthal and Rep. Johnson were joined by Deepak Gupta, an attorney with Public Citizen who argued on behalf of consumers in the AT&T v. Concepcion case before the Supreme Court, Hassan Zavareei, an attorney with Tycko & Zavareei LLP, and Nancy Zirkin, the Executive Vice President for Policy at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

the games Harley plays with their customers - it never quits
The very first blog we ever wrote was about Harley Davidson and the games they were playing with their customers back then. Well, here we go again.
Harley Davidson has a pretty good reputation with bikers. They've been around a long time and the quality is pretty good, but lately we've been seeing them and their dealers play the same game over and over.
You go and buy a bike and, of course, the dealer talks you into adding on a new "aftermarket" exhaust to give it that genuine throaty "Harley sound" that you expect from a real Harley bike.
Then a few months later it blows a head gasket, starts vibrating bad, throws a drive belt, the battery goes dead and the fuel mileage sucks. The dealer scratches their head and calls Harley and gets nowhere. You scratch your head and call Harley and get nowhere. Is it Lemon Law Time? You betcha.
So what's really going on here? Simple. The dealer wants to make an extra 800 or so off the deal so they talk you into the new set of pipes. Then, if anything goes wrong with the bike later, Harley says you altered the bike's original equipment so now there's no warranty coverage. Even though you know it has nothing to do with the pipes, Harley still tries to stick it to you. Don't put up with it.
Legally, if you add new parts to your bike and later the bike acts up - the only question is whether those parts are the cause of your problem. If so, then no warranty coverage. If not, then they owe you.
If the add-on parts have nothing to do with the problem with your motorcycle - then Harley is still on the hook. They are liable and they can not legally try to blame it on you. Of course, that won't stop them from trying.
Best thing to do is to not buy those add-on "aftermarket" parts in the first place, of course, but if you do, then just make sure that you first ask your dealer if putting those parts on your new bike is going to void the warranty. Then when Harley (or any other manufacturer) tries to tell you that you're stuck, you can turn around and stick it back to them.
That's only fair. If they build it wrong, then they should take care of you. And if the dealer lies to you, then they should step up to it and take care of you. Either way, if it's not your fault then don't let them run over you.
