    Most of them seem to be threats to Harleys, not to motorcycles in general. Nothing really scared me on that list, some are already in place in other countries with no affect on MC's. Sounds like the AMA just trying to drum up membership.

    This sounds remarkably similar to a piece in the current issue of Motorcyclist or Cycle World...I can't remember which one I signed up for for free...

    - I didn't know distracted drivers only target Harleys.

    There wasn't a single threat on that list that applied only to Harleys.

    I didn't see anything Harley specific either. By the way, I am not a Harley fan at all. I know, I know, most ABATE members ride Harleys, but their chief bottle washer never has and never will. They are banning Sportbikes in a few communities in other states because they are "too loud". These are issues all of us need to be concerned with no matter what we ride.

    Ya I got issues with a lot of "community rules".... like no signs on vehicles and things like you say- banning a type of vehicle instead of enforcing a law already existing dealing with the noise, just stupidity.
