ABATE/Florida Sees Possible End to Vertical Plate Law
Finally.. An end to this silly Florida law?
Thanks to our friends at ABATE, for passing along this info:
"...There is a bill SB 1100 that Abate had an amendment attached to that will take out the language of the vertical plate. It should be on the Governor's desk shortly.."
ABM: The current, so called, "Vertical License Plate" law calls for fines of up to $2500, and time in the slammer for simply running a motorcycle license plate which stands on end, instead of being mounted in a horizontal fashion. South Carolina recinded it's silly plate law last year, & many other states are taking a good look at this unfair, hard, and totally unnecessary moronic piece of legislation. One of the local bro's has a $50,000 "Redneck Rocket" sporting a vertical plate which was welded to the frame at the time of construction. How happy will he be to know his lawyer won't be picking his pocket this time around?
Myrtle Beach Wanderings:
Bro reports nice large signs at the (city?) limits, warning bikers that the forward-thinking golf community will have no part of helmet-less bikers, the state law of lid freedom, be dammed. ABM predicts a tight election next time around when this bunch will have to confront business people, like hoteliers, resturants, etc who lost their shirts last spring when bikers decided to stay home in droves. We're kinda funny like that, not wanting to be around people who hate us.
What we don't get? How a little anthill of 20,000 can decide to circumvent a valid statewide law with their little city council ordinance. It's just as well. Last time we got a hotel room in Myrtle, the inbreds put us right under the garbage macerator.
Wet, and not too wild:
Attempting to put a few hundred miles in one day without getting wet at least once is nearly impossible in the so called "Sunshine State" this summer. Florida's rainly season began 6 weeks early, & shows no sign of letup. Mosquito control is having a tough time. These buzz-buckets are nearly the size of a B-52! Sturgis, here we come..
