1. They are re-training their employees to make sure they can handle individual bikes.
2. They have a plan drawn up on how to deal with groups of motorcycles coming in together.
3. They want us to work with them to develop a smooth way to implement the plan.

Not all of the details in the group motorcycle parking plan are complete, but the idea is that they will provide a special motorcycle only area for groups of motorcycles coming in for specific purposes (ex: to welcome home a returning soldier). For our part, we will have to coordinate our arrival with their contact person, but that is sort of obvious.

Cool huh? See, we can work this stuff out when we try.

Why not join the MMA or A.B.A.T.E. organization near you and be part of the solution.

I wonder what sort of slap on the wrist this idiot will get?]]> MOTORCYCLE RIGHTS - Justice for All http://www.motorcyclesafari.com/forum/mro/read.php?12,13,13#msg-13 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:54:52 -0500 http://www.motorcyclesafari.com/forum/mro/read.php?10,12,12#msg-12 Arizona
Personally I think it is a good idea to keep the noise down. I'm not sold on "loud pipes saves lives" since if that were true, how do you explain people hitting fire engines and ambulances (something I have witnessed). But I get really ticked off when motorcycles get singled out since where I live, hopped up pick-up trucks are a much bigger noise nuisance.

UK bikers are organizing to fight tolls and other taxes that are being imposed on them by default (because of proposed changes to motor vehcicle access laws).

While greeting and saying farewell to other soldiers has never been a problem (due to motorcycle friendly parking in the main parking lot), this experience was anything but acceptable.

The first problem we encountered was ticket dispensers at the garage entrance that do not recognize motorcycles. This was aggravated by the signs indicating such an requiring us to call for an attendant because the attendants apparently have zero training regarding what to do.

After eventually being admitted "without tickets" we rode to the top floor where crammed up-to four motorcycles into each spot so as not to be inconsiderate of others.

After greeting our returning heroes, we proceeded to the garage exit to pay. There we discovered un-trained cashiers who not only charged us $9 per bike (ignoring the "per-stall" rule on their signs), but took about 15 minutes just to figure out what to do, all the time on the phone to a supervisor who was not interested in customer service. I will also mention that during this time, the exit to the entire garage was blocked by all this confusion and not only caused a safety hazard, but also inconvenienced many other patrons of this garage.

When the contract for International Parking comes up for renewal, please remember that motorcycles are increasingly using your facilities and that these situations are not tolerable.

This forum was created to provide a place for on-line discussions between different MROs so that they can work together in a more cohesive and coordinated manner.

While there are two sections specific to the MMA and A.B.A.T.E., this is only because we are members of both and It's our forum so there! [ If there is enough interest from other organizations, I'll create one for you too. Just ask. ]

This forum is brand new as of Oct 24 2007 so jump in and let's hear what is bugging you.]]> FORUM NOTICES http://www.motorcyclesafari.com/forum/mro/read.php?8,2,2#msg-2 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 23:30:02 -0400
