signed.

although half of me thinks this might also be a very good way to catch a lot of bike thieves... stolen items etc...

just scoured that site a little and picked up a random document that explains a little of the states approach...

Police checkpoints are already illegal in Oregon and Washington.

I did sign though.

A real man would just ride through with their pants pulled down and ass in the air while doing a wheelie and drinking a beer.

I signed it.

This is a controversial topic indeed.
I personally would not be affected if the check points are there or not.
However with the amount of illicit motorcycles on the road I'm not surprised that these actions are being taken. Let alone that but the behavior of motorcyclists on the road behaving lawlessly has motivated law enforcing entities to react in such a way.

I still think they should put a little stricter laws on being able to buy a motorcycle, but that is just me, I like Australia's law of starting small and going bigger over time if wanting to.

Japan is similar. You start out with a low cc bike with low cc license.
Then you work your way up/\
