NYC and your Motorcycle

[randy]

This was too funny not to post. seems because I e-mailed the city council, now I'm on their spam list. Got this today:

December 24, 2008





Dear New Yorker,



On behalf of the New York City Council and our Black, Latino and Asian Caucus, I would like to invite you to City Hall on Tuesday, January 20, 2009, at 9:30 a.m. to view the historic moment that President-elect Barack Obama is sworn into office. City Hall will open its doors to all New Yorkers on Inauguration Day. Even though we cannot all be in Washington, DC, that day, we may still come together to view this historic event.



Voter turnout in the 2008 election was a record high. Enthusiasm about Obama's election has continued to grow since then, creating significant interest in the inauguration and the work that lies ahead for his administration. Recognizing that during these difficult financial times many New Yorkers may be unable to make the trip to our nation's capital for the inauguration, the Council will open our side of City Hall to the public for this special occasion.



Doors will open at 9:30 a.m. The inaugural ceremony traditionally begins around 10 a.m. and lasts for about two hours. The Council will have big screen televisions set up in the Council Chambers, the Committee Room, and the Rotunda.



All New Yorkers are welcome! Space is limited, though, so please RSVP by January 16th to 212-442-1649 or via email to events@council.nyc.gov.



Thank you.



Sincerely,

Christine C. Quinn

Speaker

New York City Council

As for the HOV lane issue I E-mailed and snail mailed NYC when I first heard about it. I received a response stating that they would no longer be enforcing that restriction. Unfortuately, I no longer have the letter. I live in WI, and I have no intention on ever riding to NYC so I guess it won't affect me until other places follow their lead.

Question/Comment: about the news item:

New York City Council unfairly targets motorcycle sound.

The NYC Council has set the measure aside for future action. They'll
probably wait for the heat to die down and sneak it in again.
