New Jersey lifts ban on Sunday motorcycle sales
3/3/2011

NEW YORK, March 3 (Reuters) - Harley-Davidson fans, rejoice: it is now legal to buy and sell motorcycles in New Jersey on a Sunday.
The measure, signed into law by Governor Chris Christie on Thursday, does not affect New Jersey's Sunday ban on automobile sales.
State Senator Donald Norcross, the bill's sponsor, said he introduced the bill after a Camden County dealership complained about losing customers to stores in nearby Pennsylvania and Delaware as a result of the Sunday ban.
"Especially in this economy, we need to give businesses the tools they need to remain competitive," Norcross said.
The new law will not apply in Bergen County -- across the Hudson River from New York City -- where Blue Laws prohibit the sale of most nonessential items on Sundays.
