Ours is in May STSH. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/321/17...a-Capitol.aspx

 

Any clue what the link is about. It might motivate me to actually click on it instead of ignore it....

Sorry. Pet peeve.

 

Motorcycle enthusiasts of all stripes descended on the CA state capitol building in Sacto.

Protesting the loss of some rights....such as the freedom to wear "colors", among other things.

 

???? Yea I have a clue Im a volunteer office in my local ABATE have been for years been involved since 1977. What's your pet peeve trying to keep freedoms??

 

Most likely nothing. I think the peeve is posting a link without some type of clue as to what the link subject is.

 

Excerpt from the link

"riders came from around California Saturday to denounce the quickly diminishing list of personal freedoms, like the right to wear a patch, to speak up against police profiling and harassment of motorcyclists and to lobby for the preservation of California biker culture."

All this is protected under the Constitution.

 

All this USED to be protected by the Constitution.

 

That's the stupidest article I've ever read. "Hells Angels standing peaceably next to Booze Fighters and Henchmen next to Miscreants". None of those are rival clubs. They are are all friendly with each other and work on events and fundraisers together all the time. The problem with this article is that it could lead one to believe that these clubs are at war and are shooting each other up all the time.

The writer claims to be a biker and knowledgeable about these things.

Now if it was Hells Angels standing peaceably next to Vagos that would be news.

 

I think his peeve has to do with the fact that nowhere in the thread title or post is the subject of the thread. For all any of us knew, it was a link to a Kuryakyn ad.

Since you work in an ABATE office do you know if a law maker has actually proposed a reflective vest law? If so, do you have a name / names? I keep hearing about it but can't even find a legislative analysis. If it's true, than those people need to hear from all of us.

 

Bingo. Thanks. Apparently I NEED to pay attention to this, but I had no clue until now. I DO need to get a life.

The "Cali" wasn't a very good clue. ABATE would have been a better hint. They deserve my support more than Cali does. Thanks again. I'd forgotten about this thread already.
