A Full Throttle call to action:
ANNOUNCING - FEB 12th - RIDE TO THE CAPITAL FOR ALL MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIASTS - You took off work to see John Travolta and Martin Lawrence for the Wild Hogs movie promotion. We need you to take a few hours on 12th for your right to ride. This is about making your legislators aware that you live, you ride and you vote in GA and that you care about how they vote for you.
THIS IS ABOUT ALL MAKES & MODELS OF MOTORCYCLES. It started with the customs but it affects us all. Have you got a Goldwing Trike conversion? What about a Hyabusa with a stretched frame? Got a BMW Touring bike with modified exhaust? What about that '39 Ford or '68 Camaro project you've wanted to build all your life? This has the potential to eventually spill into every hobby that runs with an internal combustion engine.
As you may be aware the State of GA has revoked existing titles and tags of some custom motorcycles that were previously approved for use. Also, they are not inspecting and issuing certificates of title for newly built motorcycles in spite of them being built by approved manufacturers. This all came to our attention at Full Throttle about three weeks ago. On January 2nd a meeting was held that included many local builders, representatives of ABATE, MRF and NCOM, as well as several concerned motorcyclists. Over the last week while attempting to get new information State agencies have been vague and at times have refused comment.
During the World of Wheels show this past weekend we obtained nearly 2,000 signatures on a petition that we've started. More importantly we made thousands of people aware of what is taking place. WE NEED YOU ALL TO GET INVOLVED!!! We have a few ideas of what direction to take to get started and we will be sending more information as the pieces come together. But for now we need you to attend our next meeting on January 17th to learn more about about what can be done to help.
If you have a custom built bike or have built a kit bike be prepared for some potential problems as you go for your new tags this year. If you encounter any problems please email me so we can add you to our growing list of owners that have had their titles and tags REVOKED. This is going to be a big deal and we need to fix it before it really escalates.
