More land closure

Some of you might know about this, but most won't. There is a move afoot to close 9 million acres in Utah to ALL off road vehicles and mountain bikes. The bill, introduced by U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey of New York, would ban motorized recreation on 9.4 million acres of public land in Utah by inappropriately designating it as Wilderness. The devastating proposal would impact the Moab, San Rafael Swell and Chimney Rock riding areas, among others. Even though you might not ride or go to these areas, you should let your representatives know your opposition before they close your area. I picked this up on the AMA website shown below, and they make it easy to contact your representatives by email. Just click on address and on the Featured Issue click on TAKE ACTION. That will take you to Action Alert and scroll down thru issue to fill out information. Entering your zip code will sent email to appropriate reps, easy.

Issues & legislation of interest to motorcyclists
