This morning, the New York State Senate, after intensive lobbying by Larry

and Bob with the Senate General Counsel's office, gave approval to Senate

bill 706, our anti-discrimination measure. It now goes to the Governor. We

have great hopes he will sign this one.

This bill bars communities, small and large,from banning motorcycles on any

road, street or highway that uses state funds to plan, design, build,

operate or maintain that road, street or highway. The bill does not

restrict communities from regulating traffic, congestion, noise or pollution

and things like that. Those are all local issues. But it does mean that no

one can ban motorcycles for just being motorcycles. Hail to all. It's been

a good day!!!
