E. Greenwich final ordinance

The final hearing on the motorcycle EPA label law that started in the town of East Greenwich, RI as an emergency motorcycle noise abatement ordinance last July, was held November 9, 2009. The original intent of this ordinance was to effectively ban or fine any motorcycle in town that did not have an original equipment EPA certification label on both the frame and exhaust system of the bike. This was in response to many, many noise complaints made to members of the town council, and the council using a broad brush approach to control a small minority of irresponsible bikers.  Read the full story

Legislative News:

2010 Session started January 5th.  Senator Tassoni spoke with Peter Gensel, our rep, and stated he wanted to submit a new noise bill that RIMA could support.  Our hope is to have one noise law for the entire state that both RIMA and law enforcement can live with. 

Due to personal commitments Peter will not be submitting the parking proposal or the right of way proposal.  We need YOUR HELP to continue.
