Have y'all seen this:


***URGENT BIKER ALERT***URGENT BIKER ALERT***URGENT BIKER ALERT***URGENT BIKER ALERT***URGENT BIKER ALERT***

DROP DEAD DATE: Monday June 28, 2010.

Senate Bill 435, (Pavley) the Smog Check for Motorcycles Bill - has MORPHED into a NO AFTERMARKET EXHAUST Bill.

In other words...sticker matching. The EPA mandated sticker on your frame, must match the EPA mandated engraving on your stock exhaust pipes or...at-DA...TICKET.

SEE THE BILL: http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill...d_asm_v94.html


The Bikers of California must mobilize FASTER than they've ever done before.


YOUR efforts against the previous "Smog Check for Motorcycles" version of this bill have forced the author of SB 435 to change tactics - and try to further restrict your enjoyment of motorcycling in a far more clever, potentially catastrophic way, through the back door - under cover of darkness. Nice, huh? Get all your riding friends and the shops you visit to get involved NOW!


If SB 435 is signed into law, SMOG CHECK FOR MOTORCYCLES could be EVEN EASIER to pass in the NEXT legislative session. Do NOT let this happen to the sport you love!


WE MUST STOP BOTH, NO AFTERMARKET EXHAUST SYSTEMS and SMOG CHECK FOR MOTORCYCLES - NOW!

We do that by shutting down SB 435 in the Assembly Transportation Committee on Monday, June 28, 2010.


***ACTION***

You MUST contact your state legislators IMMEDIATELY. ESPECIALLY if YOUR state legislator sits on the Assembly Transportation Committee. (See list below)

You must call, write, email, text, FAX and visit your legislators RIGHT NOW. You have n o time to waste. Talk to their "Chief of Staff"...that works, too.


***WHO IS MY LEGISLATOR***

FIND your legislator: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html

You have ONE State As semblyperson and ONE State Senator.

Californians are represented by 40 Senate Members (4 year terms, limit of 2 terms) and 80 Assembly Members (2 year terms, limit of 3 terms)


***WHAT DO I SAY?***

"My name is ______________ and I'm calling to ask Assemblyperson ___________ to PLEASE vote "NO" on SB 435 (Pavley). Thank you"



It's that easy!!

Be polite, kind and respectful, or don't bother. Remember, YOU represent ALL of us, don't mess it up for Bikerdom.

A PRINTABLE info sheet produced by ABATE of CA for motorcycle shops is available here: http://www.abate.org/LinkClick.aspx?...jM%3d&tabid=73


***PLEASE***
Remember - YOU represent ALL motorcyclists when you call.

PLEASE do NOT embarrass us.

Be respectful and polite or don't bother.

Don't trust this to somebody else, take responsibility for YOUR rights, TODAY!


***BY WHEN?***

Our DROP DEAD date is Monday June 28, 2010 when the Bill is scheduled to be heard in the Assembly Transportation Committee.

If you wait, they'll walk right in and strike a blow against motorcycling. Your aftermarket exhaust system could become ILLEGAL.
If you want a job done right, do it yourself. We must DOMINATE their phone lines and emails.
Don't let this bill reach the floor, kill it in committee.

Please get to it Cali riders...some of the goofy stuff your state does winds up affecting the rest of us.

 

If it were not for the fact that this is the only state where one can lane split, I think I would be out of here.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Will make the call in the morning and pass this along to my friends.

 

Emails sent to the committee, senator, assemblymember. Phone calls to follow today.
