Personally I doubt any bill like this - if passed - would survive long. Ignoring the obvious safety concerns from this poorly thought out bill, all it would take is 30% of sales to disappear over the state borders to get the local tyre retailers screaming for it to be revoked. Even if they made it illegal to use out-of-state tyres, can you imagine the police trying to enforce it?




Yep! My thoughts exactly, Matt.

And so, let me get this straight here then...

The softer and "stickier" a motorcycle tire is, "the more it supposedly pollutes the environment", huh?!

(geez...and HERE I'll bet in the name of "Free Trade" even OREGON let's mexican semis operate within it's state, spewing TONS of unspent diesel fuel into the air, and yet they're "worried" about the "effects that motorcycle tires" supposedly have upon the environment up there???...go figure, huh???!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
