| Just got this- forward to anybody that rides!!!!! FYI to everybody- Motorcycle Checkpoints to begin in March 2011 As many of you know, the State of Georgia received $70,000.00 from the NSTB for Motorcycle ONLY safety check points. They will stop all motorcycles at these check points. We were informed by unnamed sources that the check points would start in early March 2011 to coincide with The Daytona Bike Week event. Most points of entry to Florida will be involved. We are anticipating them to start March 3rd 2011 in order to take advantage of the additional flow of motorcycle traffic thru our state. I was told that the officers conducting the safety check points have been trained in what to check for so be sure you, your paper work and your bike are in order. We understand that this is just a way to increase revenues, so do all you can to avoid adding to the state funds. There are many who trailer into Georgia and ride into Florida from here. You may wish to change your plans and trailer on through to Florida. Dan Forrest, State Director of A.B.A.T.E. Georgia Hello A.B.A.T.E.
