That can work both ways. I'm pretty sure privately owned businesses also have the right to refuse service to anyone. How do you get around that?

I support their effort however in all my years of riding I've only been refused service on two occasions. My thought is this: a buck is a buck, my money spends the same as anyone else's. If you don't want my business, there is always someone out there that does. From that point on, whether I'm in the cage or on my bike, you will never see another dollar of mine.

Try hundreds of bikers picketing the business and refusing to spend their money in the business. Soon, when the business gets hit hard in the pocketbook they may change their policy.
