NORFOLK, Va. (AP) ― Law enforcement officers on motorcycles will be out on interstates in southeast Virginia this week to crack down on speeding and other violations.
The Motor Enforcement, Accident Reduction effort, referred to as Project M.E.A.R., will include officers from Virginia State Police along with the Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach police departments. The Portsmouth Sheriff’s Office also is participating.
Throughout the year, law-enforcement agencies work together on projects to increase enforcement on roads, track down people wanted on warrants and to identify criminal activity in undercover operations.

I counted about 8 on I-64 between Greenbrier Parkway and Indian River Road today at lunch, so watch yourself out there.

Lost Tribe motorcycle club has one rule – Jewish pride
VIRGINIA BEACH – The members of the Lost Tribe motorcycle club don’t have any rules, leaders, membership fees, dues or commitments, but they do request one thing: Jewish pride.
Ed Forman and Michael I. Ashe, both avid motorcyclists, started the club five months ago. There are 18 members, and they are looking for more to join.
The Lost Tribe’s name derives from the ancient tribes that disappeared when the kingdom of Israel was destroyed and remnants were exiled.
Motorcycle Parking at the Virginia Beach Ocean Front
August 31, 2008 by Hersey · 5 Comments
Saw this letter to the editor in the daily press.
—
On Aug. 23, my husband and I headed out on our motorcycles from Gloucester to the Virginia Beach oceanfront. We were fortunate enough to get a metered spot on Atlantic Avenue. We parked our bikes and fed the meter some change. Upon our return to the bikes, we found we were the lucky recipients of two parking tickets –– one for each bike –– at $12 a piece.
We immediately checked the meter and found we still had 1 hour and 46 minutes of paid parking. What we also discovered was we were ticketed because we parked both of our bikes in the same spot. We had four tires in that spot, the same as one car would have.
I thought that 2 bikes were allowed to share a spot down at the beach? Anyone know for sure?
