H.R. 904 would prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from providing grants or any funds to states or local governments to be used to create motorcycle-only checkpoints.
Im so POd by this because In GA they set up motorcycle only checkpoints on I-75 as Daytona Bike Week started for $70,000 in Fed grant money. They said it was part of a Homeland Security initiative. Read up and decide for yourself at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-904 If you agree, contact your Governor and other state reps where you live. Let them know we care and want this stopped. Feel free to pass this message on locally to other motorcycle groups. Thanks for listening.

They do that in NY State also. I don't think it has anything to do with Homeland Security.
BUT, I like the fact these guys with LOUD pipes and stupid beenie helmets are getting tickets. Yeah, Yeah, go ahead and flame me, I can take it.

HR 904 should be passed but probably won't. Need to write our senators and congressmen and urge them to pass this bill. If this should pass then states won't get any money from the federal government to set up these check points. The states or local municipalities would have to pay for the check points themself.

No flames from me; Im a 3/4 helmet guy with respectable pipes also. I just dont like them using fed $$$s to set up local traps for MC only with no particular cause. Particularly POd because they used GA as a funnel since anyone going to Daytona would use I-75 S. Just stuck in my craw. When asked by folks being stopped, the Officers replied that it was a "Homeland Defense initiative".

Someone should have asked what could stopping all motorcycles possibly have to do with Homeland Defense.

I'm not sure but I believe that towels don't fit under helmets very well. Or would that be profiling?

Come on, get with the program. Everyone knows that most motorcycle riders are former military and those guys are all gun toting, God fearing, right wing hate mongers who need to be tracked by the government. sheesh.........

Bud, I took it how you meant it, but it looked like Ken thought you were serious. Sarcasm doesn't always work on everybody :)

I think there are more than enough laws and hoops to jump through already. You don't need any more.
