Subject: PRESS RELEASE FOR,IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION: Motorcycle Checkpoints to begin in March

As many of you know, the State of Georgia received $70,000.00 from the
NSTB for Motorcycle ONLY Safety Check Points. They will stop all Motorcycles at these Check Points.

We were informed by unnamed sources that the Check Points would start in
early March to coincide with The Daytona Bike Week Event. Most points of entry to Florida will be involved.

We are anticipating them to start March 3rd in order to take advantage
of the additional flow of Motorcycle traffic thru our State.

I was told that the officers conducting the safety check points have
been trained in what to check for so be sure you, you paper work and your bike are in order.

We understand that this is just a way to increase revenues so do all
you can to avoid adding to the state funds.

There are many who Trailer into Georgia and ride into Florida from here.
You may wish to change your plans and trailer on through to Florida.

State Director of A.B.A.T.E. Georgia
