Default Never seen this one before!

While on my interstate commute today, I saw something on the overhead digital billboard that I've never seen before.

You know the board that tells drivers not to drive drunk, or the road is slick, or the wind is blowing. Well, today the wind was blowing, hard, but instead of the usual BS, the board had "share the road, watch for motorcycles". Pretty cool I thought and certainly better than the typical BS.

And it should be .Motorcycles are the best gas powered vehicle for the enviroment. And they take up less space in parking lots and the roads.

See, it just proves a point. Everything that starts in California spreads to other states. They did it here a few months ago.

Having lived and ridden in Chicago for several years, they don't need it. They already see motorcycles, but they seem to aim for them.

Saw a billboard on the ride to work this morning in a similar vein- "ride safe today to ride another day"

Sorry to burst your bubble...but, they've been doing that here for several years now...billboards and radio spots.
