Let's hope the state comes to it's senses...

Hear is the latest from Full Throttle...

Great news!!! We did it, no better yet, YOU DID IT!!! Our Call to Action on Tuesday was unreal. The phones rang at the Capitol and got the attention of Lt Governor Casey Cagle, Senators and Representatives. The author of House Bill 950, Alan Powell heard about the attempts to stifle the bill and went into action. I'm sure the Lt Gov is still pulling teeth out of his rear. As a result, on Thursday morning the bill that they were attempting to lump in with HB950 was killed and ours was quickly moved onto the calendar. At 5:21PM the Senate version SB437 passed in the House with only one negative vote and then at 5:29PM HB950 passed unanimously in the Senate. Section 6 of the bills, which is the original portion of the bill that affects registration of custom, kit and/or assembled motorcycles will go into affect as soon as it is signed by the Governor. Finally, we'll get to pull all of these bikes out of mothballs and put them where they belong, on the street.
In our six years with FULL THROTTLE this is the first time that all motorcyclists came together to accomplish a common goal. Congratulations and thank you to all that took part in this effort. AND SPECIAL THANKS goes to Rep Alan Powell and Sen Jeff Mullis. These two really had to go the extra mile this week to get these bills on the calendar.
ALSO, everyone owes ABATE of GA a huge thank you as well as your support. Yankee Ed Andross and Linda Allen did a great job tracking these bills and then keeping us posted so we could put out the call to action. Come to the swap meet this Sunday (rain or shine) and thank them in person. Better yet, if you are not a member, come JOIN.
