They both fit the description.

The intent IS to limit Johnny Squid, but how does this law as it's worded do that? It states two years... no where on my license does it have a date when I earned my M license. And, how does having it for two years help anything? I could be THAT guy that gets it, and doesn't use it for two years...

Thing is, other bikes that my not really be sport bikes are "defined" as such which is pointless; in fact, defining any kind of specific motorcycle is just as pointless. Someone has just as much of a chance of getting tossed off the back of Fat Mike's new Softtail Delux as they do a Turbo 'Busa.

Thanks for the heads-up. Just read the bill and emailed Jeff Wentworth. I'll try to follow-up with a phone call to his office tomorrow.

Completely off topic: Does anyone else read the title as mamories law?

I agree, but in the minds of the average citizen, when Fat Mike dumps his boat anchor, it is just an accident. But when some hopped up, drug crazed, adrenaline junkie drops his crotch rocket, it is major media news and requires legislation

Exactly. This bill makes no sense and is just designed to give riders one more thing to be hastled about and to take up space and make sheeple happy.

the insurance companies like to classify them as such so they can bang you on higher rates.
