Default Sign this petition or die.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of the Gap, (too many cops, fucked up traffic, etc...) enough is enough.

Yet another rider was killed recently, by a semi truck that realistically, should have never been on this stretch of road

I had trouble just keeping a big box van in it's own lane on 129, and I can tell you from first hand experience, that it's no fun dodging semi's on the dragon.

For more on the story, and the petition to get semi's off the Gap, go here:

Apparently the NC side is already off limits, but not enforced.

They won't enforce it. Too busy fucking with the 1%ers on bikes.

I will sign anyway.

Please sign this. I had never met Ike but was heading up there with some mutual friends to meet up with him for the weekend. I arrived Friday and he was killed the previous Wednesday. His truck and camper still sat there at the Resort untouched. I just attended his funeral yesterday. This is a VERY sad situation and I am hoping we can get the laws changed to prohibit trucks or at least require a paid escort service. I have spent all of this week crying for a man I never met but feel like I knew....be cause we are both riders. Please sign!

Trucks are already prohibited on the NC side, they are breaking the law as soon as they cross into NC. What we need is signs up there showing that they are prohibited on the NC side.

They also need to add signage on the highways that get them there. Signs that tell them the route is for non-commercial.

And it wouldn't let me sign either.
