What's up friends?  Just wanted to pass the word around on this petition for a designated motorcycle lane (DML) in California.  It was started here:  http://socalbikenights.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2032 by Shear'Ree. 

Here's the link to the petition:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/106461388

Sign it and maybe it'll help get something going in the future - we must remain optimistic!

Thanks and be safe,
Dustin

Not to be mean or anything but this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.  Right...the government is going to pay MILLIONS upon MILLIONS on a 4' wide road on highways just for motorcycles.

There are more important things to be spending that money on...#1 is Education.  California's education is TERRIBLE!!!

If you can't take the heat of driving on the highway then DON'T DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY!!!

It's not mean bro, that's your opinion, and I respect it. I honestly don't expect a DML to come from this, but I don't mind participating in getting the word out there. I, personally, don't give a shit about spending more money on education in Cali. I'm doing just fine and went to public school in SoCal. Selfish? Maybe, but I'm an asshole so I don't care. I propose a pay DECREASE for educators until they can start producing better results. Screw their union guaranteed-a-raise jobs, make them work for it like the rest of us here in reality. Don't get me wrong, I have no issues with spending any amount of money on their facilities and equipment. I think the educators need more pressure placed on their quality of work.

Open your obviously blind eyes and put the blame where it belongs, the sh!tty parents and disrespectful punk kids. Glad you know you're an asshole, that way others don't waste time repeating it.

I agree its the parents and the kids, my wife runs a day care and we have teachers kids, believe me the teachers are being turned into baby sitters and disciplinarians cuz thje kids are rude undisciplined little bastards, some are all f#cked up cuz the parents are are all on drugs, or don't give a $h*t........oh and no we dont need a DML, we get to ride in the car pool lane and split traffic

how would decreasing educators salaries help our state? One of the main reasons to do well on a job is compensation.  Why would someone put effort into something they are not compensated fairly for.  My mother is a teacher at an elementary school and see's first-hand what poor pay, bad raising of kids, and lack of parental commitment to education do to kids in this state.  I went to public school too and i'm at a university but I happened to be in a really good school district growing up.

Teachers, (MANY of whom are not hired full time) make horrible money for what they do. My mom gets to work around 7:30 for class at 8:30 and doesn't leave until around 5:30 after taking care of lesson plans, grading papers, etc. She doesnt take her work home like many people do, and she hasn't always been a teacher she used to be an executive with Compuware but had to leave after an injury that limited her ability to travel.  She is not paid for grading papers.  If you were a welder, would you want to have to take the metal you weld at work home, and WITHOUT pay check over all of it... of course not! not to mention that a starting teacher make only 30k a year.  subway train operators and garbage men make more than that!

I know electricians that make 6 figures, and they did less school than teachers had too (which is a 4 year degree). While a teacher was in school, not getting paid at all for it, as an apprentice an electrician gets paid!

My eyes are wide fu*kin' open.  Believe me I understand the blame lies with the parents. 

In my personal experience:  I've had some dumb teachers even at college levels.  Okay, I'll admit that a decrease in pay for educators was harsh.  I was in a defiant/bad mood yesterday, sorry if I pissed you off (still an asshole though :).  I know there are teachers out there that truly want to make a difference as I've seen it first hand and I admire/appreciate their dedication. On the other hand, there are a lot out there who are lazy and I just think some strategically placed pressure could benefit the whole process.  Let anyone know you have high expectations of them and they will bust their ass to achieve them.  Reward them with financial compensation to show appreciation for their hard work.  Give compensation when it's deserved, I see nothing wrong with this approach. 

Sorry to hear about your mothers injury.  I bet she enjoys being a teacher and that's just as, if not more important, than making more money.  Not saying she doesn't deserve more, don't get me wrong.  I imagine being a teacher would be a very rewarding job even if half the kids in the class are undisciplined little turds.  

"I know electricians that make 6 figures, and they did less school than teachers had too (which is a 4 year degree). While a teacher was in school, not getting paid at all for it, as an apprentice an electrician gets paid!" ==> Point Taken.

Looks like I stirred up a hornets nest here, sorry for that, might as well close this thread - it's not going anywhere.

Back to topic: We are going to internet petition for a motorcycle lane? How ****ing lame was the jackass that thought this up. We are already the only state in the nation that is allowed to split lanes. Are the **** faces that thought we should piss someone off in assembly thinking? Lose lane spliting for me and ill split the head open of how is responsible. Also, the state is not going to spend money for 2% of the traffic even if that number is booming. Learn to ride between traffic or deal with the heat. Otherwise get a cager and STFU.
