Tenn. could include motorcycles in 'lemon law'

Off the Wire News
General News (AP:NASHVILLE, Tenn.) A bill to include motorcycles in the state's "lemon law" for defective vehicles is advancing in the Tennessee House.

The measure sponsored by Republican Rep. Vince Dean of East Ridge would give owners of new motorcycles the same rights as those who have cars and trucks that don't perform properly.

Dean said mechanical or structural problems can be more dangerous for motorcycles riders' safety. In Dean's words: "On a car, a bent frame may just make it wobble or something. But on a motorcycle a bent frame can cause an accident very easily."

The measure was advanced Tuesday to the House Consumer and Employee Affairs Committee. The companion measure is awaiting consideration in the Senate Transportation Committee.
