Bikers' Rights: YOU ARE NEEDED AT THE JANUARY RALLY
Posted by herseyc on Friday, December 02, 2005 @ 06:41:12 EST (981 reads)
Even though this story is not technically about bikers I thought it was important enough to include here. If you have not been keep up with things a few months ago a Supreme Court ruling extended the eminent domain power of local governments. This ruling effects not only bikers, but anyone that owns property. Though many states have laws on the books to limit this power some do not and because of this ruling it opens the door for even more violations of individual property rights.
From http://www.freestarmedia.com/
THE FIRST BATTLE is fast approaching in our campaign to end eminent domain abuse by having those who advocate it experience it themselves. We are planning a rally in Weare, New Hampshire in the first half of January. Specific details are being decided and will be provided to all who express interest by clicking the link at the bottom.

Bikers' Rights: Congressional Hearing on the Motor Vehicle Owners Right to Repair Act (HR2048)
Posted by herseyc on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 @ 06:31:06 EST (687 reads)
The Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection met on November 10th to question the motor vehicle manufacturers and aftermarket part industries on the “Right to Repair” bill. Under current law, motor vehicle and motorcycle manufacturers must make available publicly, only information pertaining to the emissions on board diagnostic systems under an Environmental Protection Agency mandate. This results, in some cases forced owners to return to the dealership for other repairs that might have been less expensive and more convenient to fix at a local mechanic or even by getting their own hands dirty.

Bikers' Rights: How motorcyclists won the right to feel the wind in their hair.
Posted by herseyc on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 @ 14:14:56 EDT (738 reads)
How motorcyclists won the right to feel the wind in their hair-and why drivers still have to buckle up.
On a Monday afternoon in June 1999, Richard Quigley was riding his Harley
near Capitola, California, when a local police officer pulled him over for
violating the state's helmet law. There ensued a half-hour debate with the
officer and his supervisor about whether Quigley's headgear-a trucker's cap
emblazoned with "United States Freedom Fighter" into which he had inserted a
rigid plastic disc-qualified as a "safety helmet." Quigley, a 61-year-old
with a ponytail and a ZZ Top-style beard who directs Bikers of Lesser
Tolerance of California and once ran for Congress on the Libertarian ticket,
later called the encounter "interesting, informative and fun!"

Bikers' Rights: Fighting Helmet Tickets
Posted by herseyc on Thursday, September 29, 2005 @ 15:22:45 EDT (716 reads)
As you know, Tom McGrath has been representing injured motorcyclists for over 30 years. However, many riders are unaware of the other ways in which The Law Offices of Tom McGrath assists motorcyclists at no cost to them. One is through the Virginia Coalition of Motorcyclists (VCOM) which lobbies on behalf of motorcyclists and fights in the Virginia General Assembly to protect our rights as riders.
Additionally, and of immediate importance, The Law Offices of Tom McGrath will represent any motorcyclist charged with wearing an unapproved helmet free of charge anywhere in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
