Hi New York bikers,
Dennis from B.O.L.T. of California just turned us on to the noise law fiction and fact page you (and or your friends) did. Terrific job!
B.O.L.T. is gearing up to have our national thinktank of pro se strategists develop ways to help bikers prepare to combat OEM pipe stamp ordinances in the courts, using preemption, non-applicability, misinterpretation, and other arguments, similar to the way we have dealt with helmet laws.
I'm the B.O.L.T. Information Systems lead person and the librarian for the B.O.L.T. LIBRARY. I just finished constructing the library last week, so it is brand new, and I just began loading files such as case law document into it within the past week. I write summary pages to let people know where they can find the files, and a basic summary of what the document is and where it originated and when.
I would like to get your info on noise laws into the library. I expect I'd create a .pdf copy of it, so the entire page would be retrieved intact as a file. I would also like to preface it with information giving you credit for your work at putting this together, and the first date of publication if you remember it, and also put a link to the original source on the net (your web page for it, if you like). If you want to be anonymous, we understand anonymity if you're in the MC world or any other privacy reason. Folks would probably like to see at least your roadname. That would also be helpful as more documents begin to be published on the same subject, so that we'd say the _(roadname)__ noise laws fiction and fact page, and who to credit it to.
If you aren't familiar with the work of B.O.L.T., please see Friends of B.O.L.T. If you've been involved in biker rights for a long time, you are probably most familiar with the protests in Madison Wisconsin or the work of B.O.L.T. of California, and the usff.com site which was also the home site of B.O.L.T. and the Helmet Law Defense League when Richard Quigley was alive, and battles within the past few years against helmet laws and checkpoints in North Carolina, and a B.O.L.T. member in Nevada recently helping an MC get 56 helmet tickets dismissed. We recently formed a chapter in Massachusetts, where Paul Cote and Bill Gannon and folks are leading the way in doing battle against the OEM pipe with EPA stamp ordinance in Boston.
You are more than welcome to be a registered user at one or both the B.O.L.T. Library and Friends of B.O.L.T.
Thanks for your time, and again, great job on the document.
