Read his post again.....In my own words here is the way understand his statement......."he said the company he works for just posted a restriction banning the use of motorcycles for work related business". His company has not banned using a motorcycle on personel time or to and from work. He also said "next thing they may try to do is tell them what they can drive to work"
My company restricts employees from the same thing, and also includes other restrictions like using a personal airplane for company business.

The main rub is corporate training, they REQUIRE us to drive down the night before and come into training at normal start time but they don't pay us until the normal start time. They do pay mileage but as I understand that is a 'reimbursement' for my expenses and NOT compensation as pay. Even then they say NO BIKES if we do not take the mileage, that is the BS part.
We are taking this through a attorney and his take so far is BS.

What a load of crap. In this age of trying to reduce traffic, reliance on foreign oil, and the strain on the environment, you would think companies would want us to ride motorcycles! Hopefully, a judge would get that.
This crap about insurance costs going up - the whole fear complex in general - is killing this country.
I hope the corporate clown who is pushing this keels over from a brain aneurysm ... he would have been safer on a motorcycle.

If you are on company time then it's their rules.
If you were to be involved in a wreck with your scooter while conducting business for your job then they are liable for the damages, workman's comp, lost time accident, etc.. Not hard to understand and yes, it sucks.
What really sucks (at least for you) is that I get to run errands all the time while I'm at work on my scooter.

Because of the inherent risks of motorcycles, I believe the company can mandate rules against riding IF your riding is on company time.
As far as discriminatory, the rule must be applied to all concern in the company. IMO, this is an issue that is applied to motorcylist, not an issue of motorcyclist vs cagers.
Just my opinion.

If they impose the restriction of riding a bike on company business, then I would hope they will also detail what kind of car can be driven and how the maintenance is done on the death traps some of the people I know drive. They have more exposure on that than riding a bike. I ride everyday I can. I am down for the winter due to the weather.

I ride while on the clock and get paid millage too. It's rare though. I have a company truck that I drive while at work. I sometimes have to go to a remote location on my way home and then it will be on my bike.
I hate companies that try to rule every aspect of your life. Tell you how to groom yourself and how long your hair can be. I mean WTF is this **** Germany?
