Vertigo SOLD

[ChrisCH]

Back on topic - the question for the US trials market is whether the new Pres will push up the cost of trials bikes to replace other taxes and if so, whether Vertigo is seen as "Chinese" and as such gets the biggest hit in the trade war he is planning?

Most trials bikes are european in origin and might not get hit too hard.  Whack job Reagan put a 45% tariff on Japanese bikes as Japan was the boogeyman back then.

Bad news for Volvo cars too?

Tax on trials bike sales sounds like a good way to make hundreds and hundreds of dollars lol

 Nobody cares if Vertigo lives or dies. It would have been a nice `other` bike, But like the Ossa nobody wants a bike that might start!
