They need to read the Constitution.(art1 sec9) You can't make a law
retroactive. If a vehicle was legal when it was made, it's legal now. Otherwise, for example, '55 Chevys
would have to have catalytic converters & airbags.



This is how it was explained to me at our ABATE meeting...you can still drive your Model-T or in my case , a DIVCO milk truck with its 6cyl flathead engine BUT if you can not maintain a specified minimum speed on a US Hwy it is illegal to operate ....the "smart" integration system is designed for auto's not bikes thus any vehicle without the technology would be prohibited on the designated roads....
the whole thing instantly reminded me of the RUSH song "Red Barchetta" and the motor laws the song talks about.....
and as far as our Constitution , they don't seem to pay much attention to it if it is in the governments way !
