This year our legislature is conducting the short session which bodes well for us as motorcycle riders. The intent of this year’s session should be to deal with financial matters only but one just never knows what they can link to other bills and call it germane. The good news is that of today there are no motorcycle related issues on the horizon. The CMRA will be keeping a watchful eye on our representatives and senators.
The are two events coming up that are being run by the CMRA and they are the annual Legislative Dinner to be held at Aldarrio’s in Milford on February 23rd from 7pm till midnight and our brand new CMRA Spring Fling at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Wallingford on March 29th also from 7pm till midnight. Both are by advance tickets sales only. We need the support of all Connecticut freedom loving riders at both of these crucial events. For further information on directions and purchasing tickets please go to the web site at www.thecmra.com.

Also if anyone from Connecticut is interested in participating in the Beast of the East in Boston please contact me as soon as possible at rltroia@snet.net so that we can formulate a plan. The dates are April 18-20.

On May 15th we would also like to send a contingent up to Boston to assist our brothers and sisters from the MMA with their annual “Storm the Statehouse” event. For further information you can check the web site at www.massmotorcycle.org. If anyone is interested in riding up from Connecticut you can again contact me to make arrangements. Think of how nice it will be to ride all the way to Laconia in total freedom!!
That’s it from Connecticut for this month.

Spring is right around the corner, yeah right!!!
