Motorcycles are everywhere - Especially in this advocates heart

It's the opposite of last spring when there was little nice weather and a lot of motorcyclists didn't get riding until July.
Quote from the article:
| "There are more bikes out on the road early this spring," said Tim Smith, who has operated Seacoast Cycles in Newburyport since 1989. "The nice weather definitely has brought a lot of riders out. That doesn't mean we won't have the usual last-minute rush for stickers before the May 31 deadline though." The early start to the riding season has motorcyclists thinking safety, which brings us back to those yellow signs and bumper stickers, which also warn "Check twice — save a life." They were the creation of Bob Doiron, then of Somerville, in 1982. He was one of the founders of what is now the Massachusetts Motorcycle Association (MMA). Now retired and living in Moultonborough, N.H., Doiron transferred rights to the signs/stickers to motorcycle activist Paul Cote of Amesbury. |
