Thanks for signing up fellas. Don't know if it will make a difference but its a try.

Don't the people signing it need to be from NY for it be noticed by the man?

It isn't gonna happen folks

NYPD is as anti-biker as they come

Right now, they are in a fight with the AMA because USDOT ordered NYC to stop ticketing motorcycles who ride in the HOV lanes -- because it is federal law.  NYPD refuses to stop ticketing bikes, in violation of federal law.

Mayah Bloomboig hates bikes too -- they are unsafe.  He wants them all gone.

Just isn't gonna happen.

Lobotomized Miami Beach parking officials actually provided a handful of spots for bikes, but then charge the same meter rate as for cars.

Park a car?  $1.25 an hour.
Park a bike in a space one fifth the size of those for cars?  $1.25 an hour.

Didnt know it was that bad out in NYC for bikers.  Here in So Cal, i occasionally get waved past the gate without paying, when leaving a parking garage.

ducatizzzz , add noisy to unsafe.  Do you have any info on the AMA - NYC fight is going?

In Manhattan it is difficult to find a parking facility that will accept a bike and when you finally accomplish that task it usually costs as much as parking a car, which could be one day's pay for a low wage earner.  What little parking there was for motorcycles has been disappearing.

it was in the AMA magazine, a few craps ago.  woman got a ticket for riding in HOV lane and fought it after calling AMA.  trial court looked at the fed law and said "that doesn't apply" and upheld it, appeals division "invalidated" the ticket, which means the lower court's decision stands, but the ticket disappears.

so the NYPD could still write tickets since no court has overturned the decision.

recent story in mag said same thing

here is a story about it

Class AAA douchebags.  Nothing else need be said.

Thanks for the update.  I was hoping for something good, like the Feds pulling highway funding for non compliance.
