I'd love to see this country becoming more motorcycle friendly. There is a lot of great roads, great scenery but the current laws and the perception of motorcycle isn't right.
I used to go to work everyday in Madrid on my motorcycle. It was the most efficient way to commute.
Here in NYC is a p.i.t.a. You can't lane sharing, you can't park on the sidewalks, you can't park on the street, the parking lots don't accept motorcycles and if they do they charge like a car (Around $35 per day) If you park on the street you have to remove the plate to avoid a ticket and probable you'll find your bike knock down by a car.
Nobody gives a $hit!.
The NRA can convince the public that owning an assault rifle is the most fundamental right of a human being (nothing against weapons, this is just an example) , the pedal bikers now have the whole city full of bike lanes reducing the actual space for cars, etc.. Every group slowly get laws that benefit them and we can not get a freaking lane sharing law like the rest of the countries in the world or any other law to make riding a more pleasanter and safer experience.
Motorcycling seems to be a hobby, like bowling (nothing against bowling also) . Not a way of transportation.
I'd like to have:
Lane sharing, dedicated parking spot for motorcycles, HOV right of use, cheaper tolls, guardrails with protections for motorcycles.
Also I'd like less rainy days
