w00t!!!
The bill passed the Senate today. Now it goes to the House. FOX/KTBC-7 is showing what I'm sure will be a "fair and balanced" report on the lane splitting issue on their 9pm broadcast tonight. |

ha, yea I can only imagine what horror stories they will show of people doing wheelies down 183 saying 'this is what you can expect' ....
The bad part is this report will being it to everyone's attn and prompt people to call in against it... |

Can you guys do me a favor and light FOX's phone up?? (512) 476-7777
Just tell them you saw the promo for the piece they want to run about the Lane Splitting bill. That you believe it might not be fair and balanced, that it may not be representing what the bill actually proposes. [they show motorcycles zipping in and out of cars in traffic AT SPEED]. They will have you leave a voicemail... leave one. If we light up the phone lines now, they will pull the piece, or RE DO it. PLEASE.

The FOX coverage was much more balanced than the commercial led me to believe, I thought.

I could've done without the intro, "Imagine sitting in traffic and have a motorcycle go past you...." hands waving about....
Like, oh you poor thing sitting in traffic with your a/c on and some ass hole on a motorcycle just passes you by  But that's the news for you....always trying to worry people.

I just found out the bill passed as well by talking with someone in Steve Ogdens office. She asked if I rode and what I thought of the bill. I told her I was an educator as well as a rider and my reasoning for hoping that Ogden supported the bill. I think the vast majority of us realize the benefit of having more ppl on two wheels on the road as well as being able to continue moving in the heat of the day while those in ac cages don't overheat. Hopefully not to much other crap gets thrown on this so it will get passed.
