“IPLEX is already working aggressively with our team to ensure we have a strong supply chain and the necessary financial support to rapidly expand North America dealerships and take advantage of international opportunities,” Burns said.

U.S. House hears testimony on public land measure

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) submitted comments to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources arguing against a bill that would designate more than 24 million acres of public land in Western states as Wilderness or Wilderness Preservation System land.
The hearing was held in the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands of the Committee on Natural Resources. The legislation is H.R. 980, the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act. “This bill is especially disconcerting due to the fact that it is being proposed by a representative from a densely populated urban area, New York City,” AMA Vice President for Government Relations Ed Moreland said in a press release.
