Stormed the State House

Postby bonnevillebilly » Fri May 16, 2008 6:59 pm

Me and around 200 other Mass Bikers stormed the state house yesterday May 15.
Organized by the Massachusetts Motorcycle Association.
We meet in Somerville mass and then road into Boston.
We circled the State House and then parked at the bottom of Beacon Hill where
we had reserved parking payed for by the MMA.
We met with our state representatives and discuss a lot of issues that affect all mass riders.
It turned out to be a nice day no sun but no rain either.
I put on about 170 miles by the time I got home.
200 bikes riding through the streets of Boston makes quite an impression.

Hey Speed
The helmet law is at the top of the list of many issues related to motorcycling.

We want to increase the funding for rider education
and motorcycle awareness ,Let people know that there are motorcycles out there.

To in crease the penalties for right of way violations, for people cutting you off, making
left hand turns in front of you.

Stop all discrimination against motorcycles. (NO Motorcycles Allowed)

Stop a bill that will lower sound levels requiring motorcycles to only use OEM equipment.
Which means no after market pipes.

This is a real fucking beauty, Some asswipe state rep. is trying to pass a bill that will
prohibit passengers under the age of 18 to ride on your bike.
Which means you can't take one of your kids or grand child for a ride on your bike.
with out breaking the law and being invested by DSS.

I wish we could get 2000 bikes instead of just 200 bikes to join in the fight for our rights.

I hope no one ( Rep.) gets' that kind of idea around this neck of the woods. That would be awful. You know it's getting to the point that an individual can't exercise his or hers own right in the execution of Life , Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Speed.

Historically speaking , Excellent quotes , well done , Hedge. Your reminding me of .......well me. {an important message to our Local , State and Federal governments.} "You need not worry. I wake up in the morning and I can put on my own pants that belong to me, Thank You , and don't worry about me I'll be fine. Trust me. "
