Election Day is right around the corner, and normally I hate wading into any kind of political fray, but motorcyclists are increasingly being singled out as 'bad guys' by the government. So all I'm saying is it's important to get out and make yourself heard at the polling station, or others will make up our minds for us. To get a good idea of some of the issues confronting riders today (motorcycle-only checkpoints come to mind), check out the AMA's website (www.americanmotorcyclist.com) for up-to-date info on pending legislation. The 2012 Voter Guide is available only to members, but everything else is free for the reading, and there's plenty of good info there for all.
