Labor Day Weekend and Motorcycle Safety
http://www.facebook.com/pages/ABATE-Local-8/124080051020464#!/notes/abate-local-8/labor-day-weekend-and-motorcycle-safety/135672876527848
?
Motorcycle safety paramount during Labor Day weekend
?
As Labor Day weekend arrives, so too do the thousands of motorcycles heading out on the road. San Diego, Yosimite, Big Bear, Lake Tahoe, Four Courners... Many Choices... But the bottom line is.... There will be many bike on the road..
?
A familiar rumble of the loud pipes and engines fills the air, and it's important to note that people of all ages, professions, creeds and races are among those who descend into these vacation desinations each year.
?
Motorcycle-related crashes are on the rise -- a statistic that needs to turn around.
?
Regardless of your thoughts -- perceived or real -- of what happens when motorcycles are in town, drivers of all vehicles share the road with motorcycles, and a little extra caution keeps everyone safe.
?
First, motorcyclists need to ensure they are completely aware of their surroundings, get the proper training and licensing and wear the proper safety equipment when riding.
?
For drivers of other vehicles, it's incumbent upon them to give the bikers a full lane of travel, allow plenty of space between you and the motorcycle and to know that a motorcycle is a motor vehicle with all the privileges of any other vehicle.
?
The "Look Twice ... Save a Life" campaign is a great, catchy reminder that motorcycles can be difficult to see at first glance. A second glance at all intersections should help drivers avoid collisions. Look for motorcyclists on the highway, at intersections, when a motorcyclist might be making a left turn and when a motorcyclist might be changing lanes.
?
And, no one -- NO ONE -- should get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol. In 2010, 39 percent of the fatal motorcycle crashes involved an impaired motorcyclist.
With the amount of public and private transportation and designated driver awareness campaigns, there's simply no excuse for impaired driving, which many times results in tragic circumstances.
?
It's our hope that all drivers share the road safely this holiday weekend. A little extra caution will go a long way to keeping everyone safe.
?

Thanks,
D-Man

Then, for the next five weeks after our Constitution Day Celebration, we invite you back to this site for a special series of lectures, delivered by Hillsdale College President Dr. Larry Arnn, called the ?Introduction to the Constitution.? Included in what we will discuss is:


??? * What the framers of the Constitution understood about the document they were writing, especially its fundamental principles true of human beings at all times and in all places;
??? * Why the fundamental features of the American Constitution are representation and separation of powers;
??? * Why the key to a republican form of government is the vibrancy, size and independence of this private society. 

This program will serve as the basis for future educational programs on Constitution and related topics, including a more complete Online Constitution Class, of which this series will serve as a basis. We will be asking for your participation and feedback along the way to help us improve our efforts.

Subject: [Elist] PULLED OVER BECAUSE OF 'COLORS' ?
Message-ID: <1315255836.53711.YahooMailClassic@web161002.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>







At yesterday's meeting a member questioned a story that he had heard from another biker.? Supposedly this other biker had been pulled over by a policeman because he was wearing 'colors'....and the policeman told him that this was?done because of a ruling by the Homeland Security Dept to check out possible terror subjects. 
After examination it seems highly unlikely that there is any basis to this story for three reasons :
( 1 )???If anything like this was in the works,? the Motorcycle Rights Organizations and their members across the country would have spread the word far and wide. long before this. 
( 2 )?? Why would a law enforcement officer?voluntarily admit to violating someone's Fourth Amendment Constitutional Rights?? by stopping them because they were :
Wearing Colors.
Had long hair.
Was a Brown Person.
Had too many tattoos.
Were wearing a Raiders T-shirt.
( 3 )?? When they could avoid any hassle by resorting to that old Standby "I Pulled you over because your license plate light is not working."????

Tom Horning (our founder) started this benefit run for abused and at risk youth shortly before his passing, we also consider it his memorial run. All proceeds go to the Childrens Foundation of America who provide eduation, counseling, foster care and many other services for these kids.

Through out his life Tom has helped thousands of the neediest children both here and in Mexico and while he is no longer with us his legacy continues.

The cause is serious but the event is a hell of a lot of fun. Tom wouldn't have it any other way! Pre registration is $15 and $20 on the day of the event $5.00 for a pasenger and $5.00 for an additional hand.

The ride winds up back here for the after party w/ food, music, a 50/50 raffle and a few surprises.

For more info call the shop @ (619) 477-4477, ask for Jim.

????????????? --------------------------------------








V C Section 22351 Speed Law Violations
Speed Law Violations 
22351.??(a) The speed of any vehicle upon a highway not in excess of the limits specified in Section 22352 or established as authorized in this code is lawful unless clearly proved to be in violation of the basic speed law. 
(b) The speed of any vehicle upon a highway in excess of the prima facie speed limits in Section 22352 or established as authorized in this code is prima facie unlawful unless the defendant establishes by competent evidence that the speed in excess of said limits did not constitute a violation of the basic speed law at the time, place and under the conditions then existing. 
?? 
V C Section 22350 Basic Speed Law 
Basic Speed Law 
22350.??No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property. 
Amended Ch. 252, Stats. 1963. Effective September 20, 1963. 
?? 
California Driver Handbook Speed Limits 
Speed Limits 
California has a "Basic Speed Law." This law means that you may never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. For example, if you are driving 45 mph in a 55 mph speed zone during a dense fog, you could be cited for driving "too fast for conditions." You may never legally drive faster than the posted speed limit, even if you think it is safe. 
Regardless of the posted speed limit, your speed should depend on: 

The number and speed of other vehicles on the road.
Whether the road surface is smooth, rough, graveled, wet, dry, wide, or narrow.
Bicyclists or pedestrians walking on the road?s edge or crossing the street.
Whether it is raining, foggy, snowing, windy, or dusty.
California Vehicle Code 
V C Section 22352 Prima Facie Speed Limits 
Prima Facie Speed Limits 
22352.??(a) The prima facie limits are as follows and shall be applicable unless changed as authorized in this code and, if so changed, only when signs have been erected giving notice thereof: 
(1) Fifteen miles per hour: 
(A) When traversing a railway grade crossing, if during the last 100 feet of the approach to the crossing the driver does not have a clear and unobstructed view of the crossing and of any traffic on the railway for a distance of 400 feet in both directions along the railway. This subdivision does not apply in the case of any railway grade crossing where a human flagman is on duty or a clearly visible electrical or mechanical railway crossing signal device is installed but does not then indicate the immediate approach of a railway train or car. 
(B) When traversing any intersection of highways if during the last 100 feet of the driver's approach to the intersection the driver does not have a clear and unobstructed view of the intersection and of any traffic upon all of the highways entering the intersection for a distance of 100 feet along all those highways, except at an intersection protected by stop signs or yield right-of-way signs or controlled by official traffic control signals. 
(C) On any alley. 
(2) Twenty-five miles per hour: 
(A) On any highway other than a state highway, in any business or residence district unless a different speed is determined by local authority under procedures set forth in this code. 
(B) When approaching or passing a school building or the grounds thereof, contiguous to a highway and posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school either during school hours or during the noon recess period. The prima facie limit shall also apply when approaching or passing any school grounds which are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children and the highway is posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign. For purposes of this subparagraph, standard "SCHOOL" warning signs may be placed at any distance up to 500 feet away from school grounds. 
(C) When passing a senior center or other facility primarily used by senior citizens, contiguous to a street other than a state highway and posted with a standard "SENIOR" warning sign. A local authority is not required to erect any sign pursuant to this paragraph until donations from private sources covering those costs are received and the local agency makes a determination that the proposed signing should be implemented. A local authority may, however, utilize any other funds available to it to pay for the erection of those signs. 
(b) This section shall become operative on March 1, 2001. 
Added Sec. 2, Ch. 421, Stats. 1997. Effective January 1, 1998. 
Amended Sec. 2, Ch. 521, Stats. 2000. Effective January?1,?2001. Operative March?1,?2001.

V C Section 22358.4 Decrease of Local Limits Near Schools or Senior Centers 
Decrease of Local Limits Near Schools or Senior Centers 
22358.4.??(a) (1) Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that the prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour established by paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 22352 is more than is reasonable or safe, the local authority may, by ordinance or resolution, determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 20 or 15 miles per hour, whichever is justified as the appropriate speed limit by that survey. 
(2) An ordinance or resolution adopted under paragraph (1) shall not be effective until appropriate signs giving notice of the speed limit are erected upon the highway and, in the case of a state highway, until the ordinance is approved by the Department of Transportation and the appropriate signs are erected upon the highway. 
(b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) or any other provision of law, a local authority may, by ordinance or resolution, determine and declare prima facie speed limits as follows: 
(A) A 15 miles per hour prima facie limit in a residence district, on a highway with a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or slower, when approaching, at a distance of less than 500 feet from, or passing, a school building or the grounds of a school building, contiguous to a highway and posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 15 miles per hour, while children are going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during the noon recess period. The prima facie limit shall also apply when approaching, at a distance of less than 500 feet from, or passing, school grounds that are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children and the highway is posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 15 miles per hour. 
(B) A 25 miles per hour prima facie limit in a residence district, on a highway with a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or slower, when approaching, at a distance of 500 to 1,000 feet from, a school building or the grounds thereof, contiguous to a highway and posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 25 miles per hour, while children are going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during the noon recess period. The prima facie limit shall also apply when approaching, at a distance of 500 to 1,000 feet from, school grounds that are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children and the highway is posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 25 miles per hour. 
(2) The prima facie limits established under paragraph (1) apply only to highways that meet all of the following conditions: 
(A) A maximum of two traffic lanes. 
(B) A maximum posted 30 miles per hour prima facie speed limit immediately prior to and after the school zone. 
(3) The prima facie limits established under paragraph (1) apply to all lanes of an affected highway, in both directions of travel. 
(4) When determining the need to lower the prima facie speed limit, the local authority shall take the provisions of Section 627 into consideration. 
(5) (A) An ordinance or resolution adopted under paragraph (1) shall not be effective until appropriate signs giving notice of the speed limit are erected upon the highway and, in the case of a state highway, until the ordinance is approved by the Department of Transportation and the appropriate signs are erected upon the highway. 
(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1), school warning signs indicating a speed limit of 15 miles per hour may be placed at a distance up to 500 feet away from school grounds. 
(C) For purposes of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1), school warning signs indicating a speed limit of 25 miles per hour may be placed at any distance between 500 and 1,000 feet away from the school grounds. 
(D) A local authority shall reimburse the Department of Transportation for all costs incurred by the department under this subdivision. Amended Sec. 23, Ch. 279, Stats. 2005. Effective January 1, 2006. 
Amended Sec. 1, Ch. 384, Stats. 2007. Effective January 1, 2008

Faulty Photo Enforcement 
We present two stories of traffic injustice by camera. Of course, the ticket camera is just an inanimate object used as a tool to perpetrate the injustice. It is the camera companies and municipal/state bureaucrats who trampled on the rights of the motorists involved.
The first tale may seem like a red-light camera urban myth, but as reported by a Miami, Florida television station, the story and the consequences were very real.
This past May, Pedro Dominguez laid his mother to rest, but only after the funeral procession was ticketed by a red-light camera at the intersection of 135th Street and 27th Avenue in Opa-Locka, Florida.
Video evidence showed three police officers, hired by the Dominguez family, stopping traffic and waving the procession through the intersection. No matter. Five vehicles received photo tickets at $158 apiece, including the limo transporting the grieving family members.
Mr. Dominguez appealed the tickets with the camera company, American Traffic Solutions (where have we heard that name before?), and received a curt response: ?The affidavit of non-responsibility did not establish an exemption and will not result in a dismissal or a transfer of the violation at this time.?
A South Florida investigative reporter got involved and verified that local law permits vehicles to pass through a red light if directed to do so by a police officer.
After the case became highly publicized, an Opa-Locka police sergeant took another look at the video, agreed that the police officers directing the funeral procession were clearly visible, and dismissed the tickets.
The second tale occurred about as far away from Opa-Locka as is possible while still being within the continental United States. A Beaverton, Oregon resident forwarded his tale of frustration to the NMA.
After donating a car to Volunteers of America and receiving new registration papers in the mail, the philanthropist dutifully contacted the Oregon DMV to make sure they recognized the car had a new owner. There was no acknowledgement from the state agency.
That was two years ago. Recently, our frustrated friend received a summons in the mail with photo evidence purporting that the car in question had run a red light.
After several unsuccessful attempts to clarify why the ticket shouldn?t be his and a refusal to pay the ticket, the Beaverton man had his driver license revoked by the state.
Ultimately, a judge wrote a letter to clear up the situation, but because the letter on the judge?s official stationery wasn?t notarized, the Oregon DMV initially refused to accept it. No good deed goes... well, you know.
It is interesting that whenever we mention one of our primary objections to photo enforcement --- that the cameras do not positively identify the driver, making the vehicle owner legally guilty unless he/she can prove otherwise --- the pro-camera lobby says that is a nonissue because the owner still has the right to appear in court to clear things up.
In other words, that pesky ?innocent until proven guilty? bedrock principle of the American justice system isn?t important as long as the accused can have his/her day in court.
We know of a couple of innocent folks in Opa-Locka, Florida and Beaverton, Oregon who, while vindicated in the final analysis, would have a thing or two to say about that cavalier assessment

Here is a follow up story that appeared in our local paper yesterday regarding the reliance of GPS in the desert. 

http://www.scrippsnews.net/content/relying-only-gps-desert-can-be-dangerous 

They don't mention much about cell phones and now both Verizion and AT&T claim to have service out there, but trust me, I live close to there and go out there a few times a year and reception is VERY poor at best in the best of locations and non-existant in others.

Take LOTS of water.? I now even recommend some type of beacon light or flare signal just in case.? Remember also how hot that pavement gets on your tires out there and motorcycle repair shops out there ain't gonna happen.

?
????????????Washington, D.C.: In a victory for families who enjoy responsible motorized recreation, President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill to allow the sale of kids' off-highway vehicles (OHVs) to continue. H.R. 2715 cleared the House by a 421-2 vote on Aug. 1, just before lawmakers went into their summer recess, and earned Senate approval by unanimous consent the same day. The measure exempts kids' OHVs from the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008, known as the lead law. 
??????????? The CPSIA, which went into effect on Feb. 10, 2009, banned the making, importing, distributing or selling of any product intended for children 12 and under, including kids' dirtbikes and all-terrain vehicles, that contained more than a specified amount of lead in any accessible part. 
??????????? The new law, introduced by Reps. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.) and G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.),
is a significant victory that resulted from nearly three years of intensive efforts by the AMA and its partner organization, the All-Terrain Vehicle Association (ATVA). Other significant efforts included those by industry trade groups, the motorcycle enthusiast and trade media and millions of individual advocates of responsible OHV recreation nationwide. 
??????????? The AMA magnified these efforts through its "Kids Just Want to Ride" campaign, and the AMA Family Capitol Hill Climb in May 2011. To read more about what the AMA did in its efforts to exempt kids' OHVs from the CPSIA, visit www.americanmotorcyclist.com/Rights/KeepKidMotorcyclesAndATVsLegal.aspx. 


??????????? ?
??????????? Dover, Del.: A new Delaware law establishes vehicular assault in the third degree as a crime and strengthens criminal penalties for vehicular assault in the second degree, vehicular homicide in the second degree, vehicular homicide in the first degree and criminally negligent homicide. The new law also gives sentencing courts wide latitude in crafting appropriate sentences for those who cause injury and death on Delaware roads. Gov. Jack Markell signed House Bill 174, sponsored by Rep. Helene Keeley (D-Wilmington South), on Aug. 3 to create the new law. 
?
??????????? Meanwhile, Markell on July 14 vetoed House Bill 95, sponsored by Rep. Michael Mulrooney (D-Pennwood), which would have eliminated the requirement that a person must have a safety helmet in their possession while operating, or riding on, a motorcycle. The governor?s veto message is available here.
?
?
??????????? Springfield, Ill.: Gov. Pat Quinn wants motorcyclists and others stuck at red traffic signals to wait two minutes before going through the light. He made the proposal in an amendatory veto of House Bill 2860. The version of the bill that cleared the full legislature would have allowed motorcyclists to pass through the red light ?after a reasonable period of time.? Lawmakers must now decide whether they agree with the proposal.

????????????Farmington, N.M.: There is still time if you want to comment on the Resource Management Plan (RMP) Amendment and associated Environmental Assessment for the Glade Run Recreation Area. The Farmington Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has moved the comment deadline in its scoping process to Sept. 30. The agency is using the scoping process to try to get a handle on what issues to explore and what alternatives to develop for consider. Officials want to know what users would like to see in the area and why. Meetings and locations will be announced in local media and on the BLM Farmington Field Office website.

????????????Pickerington, Ohio: The on- and off-highway motorcycle sound resources page has been revamped on the AMA?s website. This includes information about Sound Advice, a document that addresses the excessive motorcycle sound issue, a video explanation of how to sound test a motorcycle, model legislation and more. 
????????????Since its inception in 1924, the AMA has maintained a position of strong opposition to excessive motorcycle sound. The AMA has funded information and public relations campaigns in support of quieter motorcycle use, and was the world?s first motorsports sanctioning body to regulate and reduce the sound level of racing vehicles.

????????????Bend, Ore.: The Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and the Crooked River National Grassland are making changes to motor vehicle use rules on local Forest Service managed lands. Cross-country travel won?t be allowed except in designated areas. Also, camp sites must be within 300 feet of a road to use a motorized vehicle to get to them, and vehicles can?t park closer than 30 feet to any wetland, stream or water body at dispersed campsites. The new rules are expected to be in place in early November. Be sure to get Motor Vehicle Use maps that show where motorized vehicles are allowed from the forest and grasslands officials.

????????????Salt Lake City, Utah: Davis County officials may take over management of the Jordan River Off-Highway Vehicle Park from the Utah Division of State Park. About half the park has already been transferred to Salt Lake County to be developed as part of a soccer complex. Some 150 acres of park land is being used by motorcyclists, but its unknown whether that will continue. The riding area includes four separate tracks and is open from early April to mid-October.

????????????Morgantown, W.Va.: Student motorcyclists at West Virginia University have earned a victory following their protest of the high cost of new motorcycle parking permits. The university imposed a $162 fee but reduced it to $100 following the protest. Students had also complained that the permits only allowed parking at either the Evansdale or downtown school campus. Thanks to the students? efforts, the permits now are good for parking at either campus.

Shoei Helmet Donation Funds Critical Braking Portion of MSF 100
Motorcyclists Naturalistic Study
>From the September, 2011 issue of Motorcyclist
?
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 12, 2011 - It was with the generous support of Shoei
Safety Helmet Corp. that the Motorcycle Safety FoundationR was able to
include braking instrumentation in its unprecedented, one-year-long MSF 100
Motorcyclists Naturalistic Study. Designed to provide comprehensive,
real-time, routine-riding, near-crash, pre-crash and actual-crash data that
is currently unavailable, the study was launched earlier this month and is
sponsored by MSF and administered by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute
(VTTI). This ground-breaking research will track 100 participant-owned
motorcycles for one year and approximately 500,000 total miles, and the
braking data is a critical part of the overall study.
?
In June, the MSF received from Shoei a donation of 2,100 premium X-Twelve
helmets with an MSRP of approximately $700 each. Those helmets were then
offered to the MSF's national rider training network for a nominal fee for
use by both RiderCoaches and students during MSF RiderCourses. A portion of
the proceeds provided a mid-five-figure investment that was used to fund the
recently added braking portion of the MSF 100 Motorcyclists Naturalistic
Study.
?
"Whether riders effectively brake in emergency situations is a persistent
question in the motorcycling community," said VTTI Research Scientist Shane
McLaughlin. "There appears to be evidence that if riders brake, they more
commonly use too much rear brake and too little front brake to get the most
out of their motorcycle's braking ability. We've equipped the participating
motorcycles with sensors that monitor rider input to the front brake lever
and foot brake, and this will provide the first-ever measures of how riders
brake during real-world, short-reaction-time, critical maneuvers."
?
Each motorcycle in the MSF 100 Motorcyclists Naturalistic Study will be
equipped with extensive Data Acquisition Systems (DAS), which include
braking pressure sensors that determine whether the rider is using the front
or rear brake. Another sensor measures the actual braking force. Also
included in the DAS are five color cameras, a GPS, accelerometers, gyro,
forward radar, machine vision lane tracker and more.
?
"Shoei and the MSF share the same goal," said Shoei President Hiro
Mizushima. "That is to help protect motorcyclists. Shoei does this by
developing the best head protection available and MSF does this with the
best rider training curriculum and innovative research. We are pleased that
the helmets we donated will be used in their rider training and also that
the helmet donation resulted in such an important contribution to the MSF
100 Motorcyclists Naturalistic Study."
?
Three different locations will be used for outfitting, tracking and data
collection from the 100 motorcycles over the coming year. In addition to
VTTI in Virginia, the other data collection facilities are the MSF
headquarters in Irvine, Calif., and the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI)
in Orlando, Fla. According to the MSF, these locations are ideal because
they offer a variety of riding conditions and traffic densities.
?
The Motorcycle Safety FoundationR promotes safety through rider training and
education, operator licensing tests and public information programs. The MSF
works with the federal government, state agencies, the military and others
to offer training for all skill levels so riders can enjoy a lifetime of
safe, responsible motorcycling. Standards established by the MSFR have been
recognized worldwide since 1973.
?
The MSF is a not-for-profit organization sponsored by BMW, BRP, Ducati,
Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Piaggio, Suzuki, Triumph, Victory and
Yamaha. For safety information or to enroll in the RiderCourse(SM) nearest

Six million graduates for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation

The saying "there's safety in numbers" certainly applies to the motorcyclists who've honed their skills through Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) training programs. The MSF recently graduated its six millionth RiderCourse student. The milestone was reached thanks to the the nearly 10,000 RiderCoaches at more than 2,000 training sites around the world.

?The ABATE LOCAL 6? Report for September 2011
??????????? IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiii

?We had a pretty good showing for the Labor Day Weekend,? with a lot of good comments and good questions. President Steve Martin ran a good and interesting meeting.? We discussed current political happenings and?a report from our Treasurer Mike Decker.? He and Secretary Patty Wilber are still trying to get us established with a new bank account.
? 
???????????On Sunday November 6 there will be a memorial ride??for Barry & Carol? Sandberg,? Local 6 members who were taken from us two years ago.??? The ride starts at 1PM a couple of blocks from here at Mount Soledad,? and ends at American Legion Post 460 where a lunch will be prepared for the first 100 people to attend.? The lunch has been paid? for by friends of Barry & Carol.? On that same day,? we will have an ABATE local 6 monthly meeting, which will start at Noon sharp, and will end at 12:45 sharp, ?so that anyone who wants to go up to Mount Soledad and join the ride, may do so.? Anyone?s option may also include leaving the local 6 meeting and going directly to the American Legion Posts 460 where lunch will start at 2 PM.




PAC Rep Douglas Findlay gave a good report on what's coming up in the politician field, and stressed the point that we need to get out and DO something for these Pols to get them on our side.? Toni Atkins will be running some programs this weekend in her race for State Assembly,? and our member Keith Lim has already signed on to volunteer.? Toni Atkins is on our side since we helped her during the last election. 
???? Fran Del Santo attended the CMSP Advisory Board meeting in Sacramento a few weeks ago,? and gave us a report on that.? The Motorcycle Safety Foundation set a new record this week, when they graduated their Six Millionth?motorcycle student in their worldwide Rider Course. ?Quite a few ABATE members are also MSF Rider Coaches, and the MSF is a business member of ABATE of California. 
???? John Del Santo did a safety report titled "Meaner Than Snakes, on the drivers that we share todays highways with.?? Have you seen our Local 6 Websitse ????http://abatelocal6.org/ Our Webmaster Joe Tatro has done a Dynamite job with it !? He has also instituted?the Local 6 FacePage.? Check it out !?

Dear Friends,
?
????????????? After consulting with many of you, I have decided to run for the 51st District of Congress of the United States.? You have been my neighbors, friends, clients and constituents in the over thirty years I and my husband Al have lived in this area.? I am proud to have served you as Community College Trustee, State Assembly Member and State Senator and now hope to represent you in Congress.?? I have fought hard to improve our community and make San Diego and Imperial Counties a better place to live and work. 
We live in a very challenging time.? Our economy hasn?t recovered as fast as we would have liked. However, I continue to be optimistic about the strong and capable people of this country, exemplified by the residents of San Diego and Imperial Counties.? Together, we can make the progress needed to stop the special interests and create a vibrant and healthy economy for the next century. ?I have always worked my hardest to represent my constituents and I am confident that, as we talk with families and business owners, veterans and seniors, we will find common solutions to the problems we all face.? This is a time for leadership that will stand up for working men and women and their families, leadership that will fight tirelessly for them in Washington.? I believe my record shows I am ready to take on this difficult task and bring about positive results for the people of the 51st District. ?I hope that I have earned your trust as your voice and will
 work just as hard in Washington to create jobs and turn this economy around.
????????????? In order for this effort to be successful, we need your help.? We will have an intensive ground campaign as well as an extensive media effort on television, radio and mail.? We need volunteers walking precincts, staffing the office and phone banks as well as organizing your neighborhoods.? We also need your donations in whatever amount you can afford.? Together we can win.
?
I would greatly appreciate your ENDORSEMENT please e-mail alducheny at gmail.com with your support.
?
?
Sincerely 
Denise Moreno Ducheny

THE? ?SWEEP RIDER?
A guideline? by John Del Santo
?
When a ride is being planned and set up, one rider takes the responsibility of being the Ride Leader. The Leader's job is to set the rules, and also chooses a responsible, experienced person to be the ??Sweep? Rider or ?Back Door??.the very last bike in line. There should be an alternate Sweep so that if the main Sweep needs to stop for someone, the alternate then takes over right away. Ideally, the Sweep rider has some means of communication with the Ride Leader. The Sweep will be keeping their eye on the group in front of them and if someone in the group is riding unsafely and endangering other riders, should not hesitate telling them to behave or leave?.Don?t worry, their feelings have been hurt before.? ?
?
The Sweep should know the route of travel or the final destination for the ride.? At the pre-ride talk,? all riders should be told that if they need to leave the ride unexpectedly?.they should wave-off the Sweep rider so the Sweep knows that there is not a problem. At the pre-ride meeting the Leader and Sweep should discuss what method they want to use to accomplish lane changes.? When riders in the front of the group make Right-turns-on-Red, that tends to leave riders in the back of the group stranded?.So it?s a good idea to avoid this practice on group rides. 
?
On the Freeway some riders act as if permitting a car to cross their column of bikes is a violation of their religious and constitutional rights, and can make a driver already in a panic about missing his exit quite dangerous.? Do address this problem...It's best to ride in sub-groups of four to six bikes and provide a gap of four or more car lengths between each sub-group.? We are not a ?convoy?.? We are individual vehicles.? Even Army convoys and funeral processions lose their right to individuality once they enter a freeway. ??Anyone leading a ride should be aware of a strange quirk of Physics that happens.? ?In one big, long group?.If the lead rider is going a steady 65 MPH, then the riders in the back of the pack will be going 85 MPH. ? ? ??? Maybe an Engineer could explain that.?? ????????????Regarding group rides read more at :
 :http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/streetsurvival/group_motorcycle_safety/viewall.html#ixzz1XvsZSM9e? (thanks for the info).
?
The Ride Leader will always signal early, and slow down gradually.?? Periodically riders should check the riders following in their rear view mirror. If you see a rider falling behind, slow down a little so they may catch up. If all the riders in the group use this technique, the group should be able to maintain a fairly steady speed without the unsafe pressure of doing the ?100 MPH Catch-Up? Trick. 
If you?re separated from the group, don?t panic. Your group should have a pre-planned procedure in place to regroup. Don?t break the law or ride beyond your skills to catch up.
Enjoy each other?s company, but ride your own ride. 
Read more at on group rides at :? www.msf-usa.org/downloads/Group_?Ride.pdf
?
In the event of one of the group riders having a breakdown, a slip & slide, an unplanned dismount, ?a collision, or a medical problem?.. That?s when the Sweep rider becomes in charge of the area. He or She will send someone to call for whatever help is needed,? will send another rider at least a quarter-mile down the road to stand OFF the roadway and slow down oncoming traffic,? and then the Sweep sends everyone else away from the scene?.up the road to a wide safe area?.. Everyone will want to stand around the scene and be concerned,? but you don?t need a big clump of people standing next to the road waiting to be slammed into by an inebriated or distracted driver coming around the bend.? The only riders that stay will be someone who is a Nurse, Doctor, EMT or Mechanic?. depending on who is needed. 
?
Quote for the Day :? There is no bigger pain in the butt than someone who shows up for a group ride with an almost-empty gas tank. ?

The Republican and Democratic parties are starting to gear up for the 2012 elections. There are a lot of upcoming events that will determine which candidates will be running. At these events, and behind closed doors, will?be a lot of discussions to determine who's backing who in the upcoming legislative races.
?
At the same time, bikers are gearing up for the elections as well. Down here in San Diego, we have quite a few experienced campaign volunteers, and plenty more who are ready to jump into the game. And since there are so few termed-out legislators in San Diego county, we'll even be helping out in the Congressional and Mayoral races (both of which feature candidates who helped us as legislators).
?
The greatest need, however,?will be in the Bay Area, where there are plenty of termed-out legislators who always voted against repeal (and any other rights they could get their mitts on). Since it's a heavily Democratic area, the only real opportunities will be during the primary elections, which will feature Democrat vs Democrat races. Traditionally low turnouts will result in a few close elections ... some probably decided by fewer than 100 votes.
?
The same holds true for the LA Basin when it comes to termed-out anti-repeal legislators. But there are quite a few more seasoned campaign vets around LA, as well as others who have expressed interest. I believe LA bikers will have an impact on a couple of these races at least.
?
All in all, the more campaign volunteers we can mobilize ... in winnable districts ... the closer we'll get to finally repealing the helmet law. If you want to be part of the solution, email me directly at Ride2Repeal at gmail.com. The more the merrier, so encourage your fellow activists to get on the bandwagon, too.

Riding Tips for Commuting - Urban Guerrilla
>From the August, 1995 issue of Sport Rider
and here: http://www.sportrider.com/ride/146_9508_motorcycle_riding_tips/index.html? 
By Nick Ienatsch

?

?
Ten years ago I signed on at Motorcyclist magazine and began commuting to work on a motorcycle over the busiest freeways and streets of Los Angeles. In those 10 years of commuting, two staff members had commuting accidents, neither of which caused significant damage or pain. That's five to seven editors riding to work every working day for 10 years. If we were the survey panel, the conclusion would be that commuting on a motorcycle is an extremely safe way to get to work. And with the proper skills, it can be.
Experience is a great teacher, but an often painful one. To help shortcut experience, we've compiled five basic steps to existing in traffic to help get commuters out of their cars and onto motorcycles. You'll save time (one of the few nonreplenishable resources we have!) and reduce parking problems, and your work day will begin and end with less stress and more pleasure. One thing we know for sure: That sport bike in your garage isn't just for Sunday mornings.
URBAN GUERRILLA STEP ONE: TRUST NO ONE
?
?This missing mirror lens blinds the driver to your presence until you are alongside and is a detail you must learn to automatically recognize and avoid as you scan traffic.
Learn to rely on one person, and one person only: yourself. Be paranoid. When you see a dented, dirty or neglected car, be especially paranoid. Dents are a rolling history of mistakes, and you don't want to be involved. Dirt and neglect show disinterest, and that disinterest probably bleeds into their driving as well.
Experience has taught us to watch for particular car types in addition to neglected cars. Volvo works hard to promote the safety of its cars, and that means some owners of Volvos buy them because they know they're going to be in an accident. Sure, it's an unfair generalization of Volvo owners, but it's an observation made after a decade in Los Angeles. Watch for minivans. They're usually purchased to carry the kids, so the driver is often dealing with much more than the road. Beware of high-performance cars in a hurry; a modern car can accelerate and change lanes surprisingly quickly, so give them room if they're driving aggressively. Give four-wheel drive pickups some room because (another unfair generalization) they're often driven by aggressive young men who believe that might makes right. What car types can you trust? None.
URBAN GUERRILLA STEP TWO: AVOID BLIND SPOTS 
?
How other drivers interpret your actions has a great deal to do with urban riding skill. If this rider uses his turn signal to show his intention to make a right turn on the upcoming street, the Volkswagen driver exiting the 7-Eleven may assume the rider is pulling into the 7-Eleven and mistakenly accelerate directly into the bike's path. In this case, the rider must stay in the left side of the right lane and signal his right turn immediately before the street-and keep a close eye on the VW.
If one thought rules your urban riding, let it be this: Stay out of blind spots. If you can't see the driver's face in the car's mirror, that driver can't see you and you simply don't exist. Place blind-spot avoidance on top of your priority list for urban survival. Use acceleration, deceleration and lane position to "ride in the mirrors" of the cars around you. Develop a blind-spot warning buzzer that blares every time you approach a blind spot. The Highway Patrol teaches its riders to constantly move through traffic, to ride slightly (slightly!) faster than traffic and move through blind spots rather than sitting in them. Good advice.
Of course, just because you're riding in the mirrors of a car doesn't mean that driver will use that mirror before changing lanes into you. Position yourself so that if the driver fails to see you in the mirror, you still aren't in danger of getting tagged. You will know when you're riding well and staying clear of blind spots because you are no longer using your horn to warn encroaching drivers of your presence; they've already seen you in the mirror, alongside or ahead. In fact, our response to "loud pipes save lives" is "get out of the blind spot."
URBAN GUERRILLA STEP THREE: BE DEFENSIVE, BE AGGRESSIVE
?
By predicting this car's last-second freeway flop, this rider has made plenty of room for the expected mistake. Avoid passing on the right, and never pass immediately before a freeway exit, intersection or driveway; give the driver a chance to drive poorly without your involvement. Accelerate ahead or fall behind.
Combining defensive tactics and aggressive riding will create a riding portfolio that will weather any storm. The secret is knowing when to use each of the tactics. After all, blasting aggressively down Main Street is an open invitation for trouble. Conversely, creeping slowly down Main Street invites different but still deadly trouble, putting you at the mercy of other drivers' skills-or lack thereof.
Defensive riding means being aware of your space and maintaining that space by positioning yourself in surrounding traffic. Riding defensively is a way of looking at traffic to predict its effect on you, and making sure that effect is minimal.
Riding aggressively is much less a way of riding than an applied technique to be exercised only occasionally. As motorcyclists, we must put ourselves in view, and sometimes that means a bit of aggressive throttle use to come up even with a driver's window. Simply put, sometimes slowing down is extremely dangerous and some aggressive acceleration or lane changing is called for.
?
Correct lane positioning will allow you to be seen and keep you away from danger. This rider approaches the cab in the right side of his lane so the cab driver will see him in the cab's mirrors. As the rider approaches the cab's blind spot, he moves left to gain valuable space in case of a sudden lane change.
Create your own traffic destiny. Put yourself in a position with an escape route if your worst-case predictions come true. Look for traffic patterns and try to move through traffic, rather than sit within a knot of traffic. The time you become lethargic will be the time somebody parks a Suburban in your lap at 60 mph.
URBAN GUERRILLA STEP FOUR: MAKE ROOM FOR OTHERS' MISTAKES
In case you haven't noticed, drivers make mistakes. Dozens of them, from no turn signal to last-minute freeway exits to locked brakes at a yellow light to-well, how long a list do you need? America's current driver's training programs aren't going to correct America's drivers in the foreseeable future, so the secret is to plan on and predict the mistakes and make sure you're not affected. In other words, give 'em room to?make a mistake.?
?
A car's blind spot varies according to the vehicle, mirror size and mirror adjustment. Anytime you're parallel to a car, truck or van, you're in the most dangerous spot on the road. Learn to move through this Death Spot aggressively; don't ride in a blind spot, even for a few seconds.
Understand this: You won't change the mistakes being made out there, but by recognizing and giving them room to happen, you won't be negatively affected by them either. There's no reason to get upset, violent, aggressive or reactionary; once you begin to make room for mistakes, it becomes almost humorous to watch the stupidity around you because you will no longer be taken by surprise or put in danger.
URBAN GUERRILLA STEP FIVE: SLOW DOWN IN TOWN
Speed itself doesn't kill, but it sure makes those sudden stops painful. Basically, too much speed makes us unreadable. The car driver looks down the street, sees a headlight approaching at what he guesses to be the speed limit, and proceeds through the intersection. Unfortunately, the bike is doing double the speed limit and slams into the side of the car. Whose fault is it? Not the car driver's. Slow down to be seen; slow down to avoid being misread.?
??


?
An ugly chain reaction can be started when a car squeezes into the right lane of a crowded freeway, and you'll be affected if you don't take action. Predict possible outcomes and place yourself safely in surrounding traffic. Often that means safely accelerating ahead of the mess.
Slowing down allows you to stop before becoming involved in someone else's mistake. Even if you're the Kevin Schwantz of braking, it takes more distance to stop a bike from 50 mph than it does from 30 mph; that extra distance usually isn't available to urban guerrillas.
Slowing down gives your brain a chance to notice things and more time to react. Your peripheral vision widens and you relax enough to read and predict traffic. Try walking down the supermarket aisle and reading labels, then try running down the same aisle. Now imagine all those soup cans are about to jump into your path and you'll see how slowing down affects your perception. There are plenty of places to go fast, but in and around traffic isn't one of them. If you can't slow down in town, put me in your will.
URBAN GUERRILLA BONUS STEP: PRACTICE?
Intersections are our toughest challenges. This rider is moving into the right side of his lane to gain and give the most unobstructed view possible, a good idea since the car waiting to turn left is all but blinded by the UPS truck. Slow down, cover your brakes, and use your lane to position yourself for maximum conspicuity.
When everything goes wrong and the above five steps fail to keep you in safety's arms, you'd better be a good motorcycle rider. Get to an empty parking lot and practice braking; take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Experienced RiderCourse. Experiment with flicking lane changes. Become intimately familiar with the effects of countersteering, experimenting with differing pressures on the handgrips. Practice quick glances in the mirrors and hurried looks over your shoulder, as if you were initiating an emergency lane change. Use your turn signals in all conditions so that you'll remember to cancel them when things get stressful. Know the route you and your neighborhood commuters take on the way to the freeway and study the mistakes being made; when you're not on your bike, watch traffic patterns and instances that would get a rider in trouble.
All this is practice, and it's just as important for the urban guerrilla as it is for the expert-level roadracer. You can't win a trophy with your commuting prowess, but you can step out of the car or bus and add two irreplaceable things to your life: time and enjoyment.

Signatures and letters are OK, but if 5000 politicians signed a letter to you asking you to stop riding your motorcycle,? would it affect how you think and act ?? His thoughts and mine are that showing up and volunteering for some campaign work leaves a much better and lasting impression on these candidates.? 
There are three candidates in the San Diego area who are running for office who are friends of ABATE and friends of Motorcyclists.?

Traffic Stop Doesn?t Void Fourth Amendment Protection 
On the heels of our E-newsletter last week (#141, A Man?s Car is His Castle) comes a story with a different twist on the connection between cars, homes, and protection under the law.
In 2007, the police in Sulphur, Oklahoma attempted to pull over a car after noticing what they felt were faulty taillights. The young driver, Joshua Burchett, didn?t stop until he reached his parents? home a few blocks away. Then, after parking in the driveway, Burchett quickly disappeared inside the home.
A police deputy requested backup and then pounded on the door of the home. Burchett?s father, Jose Mascorro, opened the door to the sight of a police revolver pointed at his head, along with shouted demands to drop to his knees.
Christina Mascorro appeared at the door to see what was going on with her husband and son. She asked the officer if he had a warrant; the response was a blast of pepper spray to her face. Ms. Mascorro was able to call 911 as the police entered the home with guns still drawn.
Burchett was arrested, as were his parents who were charged with obstructing justice. The parents sued the police, citing illegal entry, excessive force, and false arrest. The police countered that they had qualified immunity from prosecution because their actions were justified while chasing a suspect.
The Burchett case reached the Tenth Circuit US Court of Appeals, where the three-judge panel found that law enforcement?s forced and warrantless entry into the home to hunt down a driver fleeing from a traffic stop was not justified, as it might be for certain felony cases.
The appellate court found that the Mascorros could sue the police, who lost their qualified immunity when they conducted an illegal search and seizure. The judges? ruling concluded, "No reasonable officer would have thought pursuit of a minor for a mere misdemeanor traffic offense constituted the sort of exigency permitting entry into a home without a warrant."
We have written in this space previously about recent court rulings that weaken Fourth Amendment protections. NMA E-newsletter #119 (The Pressure to Redefine our Rights) from April 2011 summarizes many of our concerns. Several media outlets requested (and received) permission to republish that E-newsletter.
With that backdrop, it is especially important to report a story in which one of the nation?s higher courts upheld the strict principles of the Fourth Amendment, reproduced in its simple but elegant language here:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. ?
Editor's Note: As you may have noticed, we're switching our email newsletter schedule. It will be sent out on Sunday morning instead of Tuesday afternoon from now on.

Thanks for setting a fine example for all the newbies...and for such a concise explanation of things...
Folks...THIS is the kind of hard work and dedication that makes things happen. 
And how much does this guy get paid??NADA. He gets paid in pride. Though they say "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance"....it sure would be a lot easier to?be in the business of freedom?if we could tap into some of that special interest money. 
The only time this guy sits on his butt is when he's riding......often -?carrying campaign signs.

Actually I'm already done with the task I was asking about. A very bright person sent me a list showing which legislators will be in the new districts. Now the new maps have been color-coded accordingly, and I shared them with the Repeal Machine subscribers.


It came as no surprise that some districts will have open seats, and that other districts will be head-to-head races between incumbents. Some previously safe incumbents will now find themselves in the minority party of their own district, so the odds are good that they'll be tossed out in 2012. Anyway, I filled in the blanks with districts who have safe incumbents (RED and GRN).


The remaining seats are in contested districts. Most are "owned" by one party or the other, with only a handful of evenly matched "swing" districts. So for the one-party districts, the only question will be who wins the dominant party's nomination. By the time the general election rolls around, it will be little more than a coronation for the?anointed?nominee.


I'm not surprised that the Republicans are pissed. While it originally seemed like a good idea to take the redistricting process away from the Democrat-controlled legislature, the voters of California have become more aligned with the Democratic party over the past decade. It is what it is. Then you have to consider the voting rights act, which (like it or not) gives majority status to minority communities.


Regarding challenges to the Redistricting Commission, I don't see much chance of it being overturned.?Now there may be a little tinkering with district lines here and there, but for the most part I think it will proceed as-is.?That video is a sad-but-true commentary on how it ended up, and I don't doubt anything Dr. Ward said ... including his refusal to participate in challenging it.?


But even if it gets challenged, and even if it gets overturned, and the whole map gets redrawn from scratch (or gets frozen), my task is still exactly the same ... find out where the most competitive races will be. Redistricting is just a re-shuffling of the deck ... but we have an ace up our sleeves - campaign volunteers working in close races.


There will be two phases to our 2012 campaign efforts:


The first phase is leading up to the primary races in the spring, focusing on the most competitive nominations in one-party districts. And it looks like there will be plenty to choose from, especially when you factor in all the termed-out legislators. This is the most urgent task, since the parties are already making deals on who gets to run in which district.


The second phase will be the leading up to the general elections in November. That's when we'll be looking closely at the swing districts. There should be very few to choose from, which allows us to concentrate our campaign volunteers into a couple of Bay Area and SoCal districts.


All we need to do is win a couple of primaries, and win a couple of swing districts. Four wins is a reasonable goal. Each district we win gets us that much closer to getting our freedom back. That's progress. All we have to do is earn it.

?
The Republicans forced this issue...and now they're not too happy with the results. 
?

the redistricting website has a somewhat authoritarian sound to it: http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/
rather pompous....how would you like it if cops adapted that style? welockyouup.ca.gov 
?

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission has adopted final district maps for Congressional, State Assembly, State Senate and Board of Equalization districts.

?
where will MY current representatives end up? my understanding is...the politician serving now?will only be able to run in a new district in which they live - when their current district terms out. 
after an HOUR+ of researching how that will affect the odds and evens (re-elections) of the state senate in 2012...haven't found a CLUE. 
Senators are limited to serving two four-year terms, which are staggered so that half the membership is elected every two years. The Senators representing the odd-numbered districts are elected in years evenly divisible by four. The senators from the even-numbered districts are elected in the intervening even-numbered years.

the league of women voters sez: "Incumbents? residences may not be considered." (in the redistricting procedure)
?
"A few candidates have hedged their bets by signing up in two places at once, including Assemblyman Stephen Knight (R-Palmdale), who filed intention statements in both his own district and the one in the state Senate recently won by fellow Republican Sharon Runner of neighboring Lancaster. He can pivot later to whichever ends up the better fit for him." http://articles.latimes.com/2011/apr/11/local/la-me-early-candidates-20110411
?
so we'd need their home addresses to figure it all out...regardless...i really don't think it's goin' anywhere...it's gonna end up in the courts. 
the commission itself doesn't really know what will happen when the lawsuits begin...which leads some to believe the districts would be FROZEN. 
?
for me...
US Rep?45 will become the 36th 
State Assembly 64 will become the 71 or the 42 (maps too small to tell)
State Senate?37 will become 23 or 28 (maps too small to tell)

I invite anyone to find dirt on Republicans, but I keep reading how?Democrats used a term called "Communities of Interest" to....well...uh...GERRYMANDER. haha
and then another interesting term..."majority-minority" keeps turning up...something to do with the voters rights act. 
Dr. Gabino Aguirre's secret political past: http://www.calwatchdog.com/2011/07/15/redistricting-commissioner-aguirres-secret-political-past/?I'd mention his party of preference...but many of you would blow a gasket.

Our signature drive passed the 200,000 count this week ? about a week ahead of projections. We have until November 13 to collect the 504,760 signatures needed to qualify the referendum and stop the Commission?s Senate plan from taking effect.? With signatures being collected faster than expected and with a strong volunteer and direct mail effort underway, FAIR is recalculating weekly signature projections for October and early November. The good news is that we will be able to finish the signature drive sooner than planned if the direct mail and volunteer signatures continue to outpace projections.
?
I put in a request to get me some of them petitions...i hear they're payin' good money for signatures!!!! 
Maybe YOUR local could make some cash gettin' signatures??

CA Redistricting Question 


I've created maps of the new legislative districts, but not sure where all the existing legislators will be.? 


This is because some districts have moved to entirely new locations, and some legislators are now residing outside their district boundaries. 


If anyone knows how I can find out which legislators are in the new districts, please let me know.?


Once I fill in these blanks, I can share the new district maps.

September 28, 2011
CHP reports decline in motorcycle-involved collisions, injuries

The California Highway Patrol reports that a two-year, federally funded
Program to increase motorists' awareness of motorcyclists on California
Roadways appears to have paid off with a decline in the number of collisions
Involving motorcycles.

Preliminary figures for 2010 from the CHP's Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records system show that the number of people killed in motorcycle-involved
Collisions last year was down 9 percent from the previous year, according to
A CHP news release. The number of people injured in motorcycle-involved
Collisions appears to be down 8.5 percent.

Throughout the campaign, the CHP has emphasized the "Share the Road"
Message. To help convey that message to the motoring public, officials said,
The CHP held several presentations and conducted several highly publicized
Motorcycle safety enforcement operations.

The CHP, in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation,
Arranged to display "Share the road - Look twice for motorcyclists" on
Changeable message signs on highways statewide on several occasions
Throughout the term of the grant.

Funding for the program was provided by a grant from the California Office
Of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic safety
Administration.

My Friends,
?
?? Travis Barrick and David Stilwell, , served the powers that 
Be in Nevada yesterday ( see video, click link ) w/ what hopefully will become the end of Nevada?s
Unjust helmet laws, a class action lawsuit. Note the bikes, limo and strippers used to get the deeds
Done for added flare for the cameras! HA! 
?
http://www.8newsnow.com/story/15582282/i-team-motorcycle-riders-explain-helmet-lawsuit
?
?
?? MONEY IS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. Those whom wish to help the cause
Should gravatate to http://www.guerillalawfare.com and ask about how to donate.
Checks are to be written to ?Guerilla Lawfare?.
This is not a plea for funds for parties, ?booze and women, there will be real costs involved in attempting to make this happen.
I am a member of B.O.L.T.? ( www.boltofca.com ) and I have thrown the first $500.00
donation into the ring. Whos next? ANY amount is much appreciated. It is YOUR freedom
to choose at stake here?
?
If we can get Nevada to cave, it could be a stepping stone to get California to cave. Constitutional
Issues are being raised, and if successful, could be carried into Cali! ANY amount of money
You can spare will be used and used properly folks?

Ms. Lily Gonzalez:
?
Thank you for sharing the Channel 8 news report with me.
?
As I have often said?, there are at least three sides to every story ? yours, mine, and the truth.? Yes, I was interviewed by Channel 8 along with channel 13. ?If you review the report that ran on channel 13 (http://www.ktnv.com/news/local/130758608.html) I believe that you will see that it was less edited than the report that ran on Channel 8.
?
With regard to NRS 486.231 and Nevada?s helmet law, I believe that wearing helmets is a choice that adults can make for themselves.? Although I may disagree with some of the tactics that were taken during the past session of the Nevada Legislature, not once did I testify against SB 177 and my letters to members of the Legislature were always in support of the bill.? The current lawsuit, hopefully will address the arbitrary enforcement issues in NRS 486.231, and once settled, force the Legislature to remove it from the books. 
?
My committed to freedom of choice came long before I got involved in the politics of motorcycling.? My commitment to motorcyclists? rights is a matter of public record and it does not change because of an edited interview on the 5 o?clock news.? I suggest that you review the KTNV Channel 13 interview that I?ve attached.? 
?
Thank you again for sharing your opinions and the Channel 8 interview; and thank you for correcting any misinformation you may have shared with your readers.
?
Fred Harrell
?
P.S.? To keep this discussion to a lower roar than our previous exchanges, I am sharing it with John Bland and Mike Davis.

Check out this vid.? Tonight at 5 will be OUR SIDE OF THE STORY (at least that's my hope.)



Notice my comment and please feel free to chime in.

They wouldn't repeal it - now they're gonna feel it !!

http://www.8newsnow.com/story/15573175/lawsuit-challenges-nevadas-motorcycle-helmet-law

btw, the person they interviewed is Fred Harrell, he works for HD LV and he sits on the Nevada State Board of Advisors to the Governor for Motorcycle Safety.? 

No wonder he fought me and David to undermine what we were doing to get SB177 passed.? How could I have been so stupid.? It's now clear to me that he doesn't care about rights - he just wants to sell helmets!

I made sure to make a comment about him in my post.
