AMA NEWS, DANNY’S LAW– West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, himself a motorcyclist, has signed a bill that increases penalties for reckless driving convictions. “Danny’s Law” was named in honor of Danny Kneisly, who was hit and killed when a driver turned left in front of him; the driver subsequently received a $20 fine. Danny?s death and the ensuing support of his family added momentum to efforts to pass the bill, which ABATE of West Virginia, AMA members and staff, and other motorcycle activists had been working toward for nearly five years.
The new law provides for penalties of a minimum of 10 days in jail and a maximum of six months, and/or a fine of at least $50 and up to $1,000, for those convicted of reckless driving if they seriously injure someone.The AMA Justice for All campaign is focused on inadequate sentencing of drivers who seriously injure or kill others on the road. Learn more at www.AMADirectlink.com.
The Ohio Office of Budget and Management (OBM) recently proposed transferring $750,000 from the Motorcycle Safety and Education Fund for to be used for purposes other than rider education and training.The AMA alerted the Ohio riding community through the AMA Rapid Response Center and encouraged AMA members, motorcyclists’ rights organizations, and other supporters of rider education to contact the six elected officials of the Ohio Controlling Board (OCB) to stop the transfer. The Fund is financed by a $6 assessment on every motorcycle registration in Ohio and is to be used solely for the motorcycle safety and training program, Motorcycle Ohio.
The OCB, at its April 24 meeting, agreed with the motorcycling community and amended the request from the OBM. The Motorcycle Safety and Education Fund was preserved.
BRITISH PROTEST RIDE ENCOURAGED– The British Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) is encouraging all motorcyclists who ride into the City of Westminster to respond to a web-based consultation on motorcycle parking.
The consultation focuses on whether there is sufficient provision for motorcycle parking, whether motorcycles should pay for parking, whether secure parking facilities should be provided and whether motorcycles should pay the congestion charge.
MAG in London has long been campaigning for increased motorcycle parking provision to accommodate the increase in motorcycle commuting as commuters switch from cars to bikes to beat both congestion and the congestion charge. Presently many commuters are left with no option but to park on pavements where they are being ticketed and can cause obstructions to pedestrians.
MAG insist that riders are helping Westminster’s congestion problem, as motorcycles from the smallest scooter to the largest touring bike not only use less space than cars when moving and parking but they also liberate road space for essential four wheeled traffic to move more easily.
TRUE-TRACK RESCUES BONNEVILLE EFFORT–Is that an OEM front rubber motor mount that you put on the Bonneville Bike? If so, my own experience tells me that the ‘120’ torque is gonna squish that thing flat in the first 10 minutes of your maiden putt. Am I right on this? May wanna double check on this one?
–Pauly D.
Will Phillips, the master engineer of V-twin handling, is coming over next Tuesday. We are going to switch out the rear rubber mounts with heavy duty jobs and a 3/4 swingarm axle. We’re adding steering dampers and a True-Track system to keep this puppy in line. I’ll ask him about the front mount.–Bandit
QUESTION OF THE DAY-WHERE THE HELL IS HALLCRAFT WHEELS?–Just a note to let you know that I found my industry directory, and the numbers for Hallcraft are all disconnected, so if you hear anything through your very large grapevine in regards to that let me know, we are trying to find some super fat spoke wheels.
–Lucky Devil
I suggested Black Bike for killer spoked wheels.–Bandit
