Can you name cars thatbore these emblems? HOW ADEPT ARE YOU at recognizing old car emblems? Keyed t0 thé letters on each enibleni above, but printed upside down to help keep you frorn peeking, are the correct car identifications. Like car owners, cyci[sts also now help'guard environment The typical person rid- ing a motorcycle today is apt to be an accountant or a fashion designer on the way to the office or a family going' to a picnic, yet the public's image of ..............the black leather-jacketed Marlon Brando still lingers as typical of the cyclist. To dispel this image on beao f the eight million MONTANA'S BIG SKY conry Î, enjoyed t0 the fullest by cyclists (growing by an a lone moiorcycle rider. No longer the domnain of the "WiId additional million yearly) One" type of rider, cycling now appeals t0 a wider variety and to represent the in- of people. The industry as a whole bas become aware of terests of the cycle makers, ecological matters such as pollution control, fuel econorny distributors and trade as- and noise abatement according t0 an industry association sociation, the Motorcycle Motorcycle Industry Council. Industry Council (MIC) has been formned. The MIC's latest en- deavor, one it shares with the 'automnotive industry, is to work with govern- nient agencies such as the U.S. Department of Trans- portatio)n and Environ- mental Protection Agency on noise and air pollution reduction for cycles. Since the MIC speaks for more than 80 com- panies, it can present the industry's over-alI views to the governmental agencies and works with themn. One of the flrst concerns of the EPA in their re- search to determine sound levels for moto rcycles was the level of technology available in the sound, abatement area. Through the MIC thcy were en- couraged to visit various manufacturers' facilities. The manufacturers con- cerned were completely candid with the EPA offi- ciais and actuallydemon- strated capabilities beyond tho 'se that were thought possible. The noise probleni is primarily with the new motorcycles available, for alI must meet existing noise level standards in many states. The problem is with modified exhaust systems installed after the customer has purchased the machine. With this realization, the EPA has expanded its efforts be- yond controllîng noise at the point of manufacture. Through MIC efforts, legislators realize that mo- torcycles are a legitimate recreation or transporta- tion vehicle and that the iaws and regulations con- trolling the use of motor- cycles may well affect their neighbors if not them- selves.
