I thought you might want to view this E-mail from the sedentary president of the Village of Black Earth.
It seems to fit with the post that Margorie Ward (BFW) made recently on "Bikies".

Kathleen Falk, Senator Erpenbach, Senator Feingold, Rep. Travis, Rep. Baldwin, and Dane County Supervisors -Wendt and Hitzemann! We have been having a real problem with groups of bike racer (groups) over taking our area and the roads! Leaders from the Townships of Berry, Mazo, Vermont, Black Earth, Cross Plains and the village of Black Earth have expressed concerns to the Dane County Sheriff's office. But we need more help then they can give us. Laws need to be changed or understood better. Seems the biker has alot more rights then the people who are paying for insurance, license plates and the roads we drive on! Next Monday night there is a meeting at the Vermont Town Hall and I have been asked to go and I really want you to come to the meeting! These people are living through this all the time and they need your help! They need to be heard by someone who can make a difference! I have an idea... Charge them a fee! Why can't we put license plates on bikes. That way we can make them accountable for breaking the law! When they break the law then we can call the police and have a way to know who it is! So many of these groups of bikers come into our village and /or townships and take over the roads! This is where we live! How would they feel if we take over in their town or village? They have no regard the people that live here or their property. The state and county need money and this is a major problem. Charging them a GOOD healthy fee for a license plate would help with some of the sort fall in the county and state budget! After all this is a hobby! Please come to the meeting on July 12 at 7:30 p.m.! Something needs to be done and it has to start some place!
