OK, being as I live in Texas now, this bill is WAY more important to me. Can someone give me an idea of where this thing stands right now, and what I can do to help?

It will still be a couple of months before I'm back on the bike, but if I can help this thing through in any way then I'm in.

Thought he was the primary one or at least led the group that opposed LS?

So besides helping repeal the helmet law, what else did he do for M/C?

That was a great rumor. It was actually car drivers that were opposed. They had their own bill to get passed - and did - which requires the MSF in order to get your license.

Most of what he did was protect us from additional laws that would have taken our riding freedoms away from us. So, he did more blocking and burying of bills than passing of laws - sometimes that is the better art in legistlation. These were anything from helmet laws, required donor cards, additional taxes, etc.

I know that In Tennessee that if you come to a light and its red for 3 turns then your allowed to run it, but besides that there lane splitting is illegal. Doesn't mean i don't do it. I'm really wanting it here in Georgia and Tennessee though. They are doing so much construction in and around Chattanooga its killing me and i'm sitting in 90+ degree weather on a flipping oven thats reaching post 220 degrees temperatures. I'm sry if the general public doesn't approve but i don't like roasting like a Thanksgiving turkey while trying to get to work.

If your not sure what your state laws are here ya go
