Washington Is Deciding You Need To Be There Bikers Inside The B

  • Washington Is Deciding
    You Need To Be There
    Bikers Inside The Beltway

    The definition of a motorcycle is being challenged right now - and silence will be taken as consent.

    The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is actively working to close the loophole - H.R. 3385 - that allows steering-wheel-equipped autocycles to hide under a motorcycle definition that was never meant for them.

    Let’s be clear. Showing up for Bikers Inside the Beltway increases the chance of passage.

    Let’s be doubly clear: Removing a wheel from a small car does not make it a motorcycle.

    A motorcycle is straddled.
    It has handlebars.
    It requires balance.
    It demands skill.

    When definitions change, regulations follow. When regulations shift, riders lose ground.

    This isn’t theoretical. This is policy being shaped in real time - and if we’re in the room they’re listening to us.

    Now is the moment. Not later. Not next year. Now.
