Like our new Noise Bylaw. Targets motorcycles only with decibel meters at random stops. Sat beside a diesel 4x4 at a red light lately?

ABATE, AMA, & MRF rep.

If this kind of harassment doesn't bother you, then do nothing!

But if you love your freedom, then join the AMA, ABATE, and the MRF.
Get involved, and stay on top of these issues. You may also run as your political party's district representative (it gets you into a lot of political arenas).

Apathy will only manifest itself in more losses of freedom.

How's that for "creating jobs" Let's put some unemployed Valkyrie riders in some of those positions. Then you could get paid to be around bikes all day cooldude

The best ways to prevent motorcycle accidents/fatalities are to:

1   Get cage/truck drivers to watch out for us.  Quit polishing your fingernails, texting, applying make up, talking on the CB, smoking   Crack, etc.

2   Do not allow people that live in Ohio to operate motor vehicles.

3   secure all loads in pickups and heavily fine offenders.

4   fill in the blank (I'm open to suggestions)

The 'Loud Pipes' crowd has brought this kind of thing on. They don't saves lives, they destroy your rights. If you have loud pipes, YOU have brought this on yourself.

It looks like another example of bad government.  How they are spending the money is bad.  That thy are tageting a single group is worse.

That they are spending that money AT ALL is the WORST.

More Freedom, Less Government.  Libertarians
