Honestly, we didn't do that much… Nick deserves most of the credit.

Lane filtering and passing bill passed by Colorado Senate, moves on to House of Representatives

By Keaton Maisano

The Colorado Senate voted 22-8 (with five excused) in favor of passing Colorado SB24-079 – a motorcycle lane filtering and passing bill – marking the furthest such a bill has progressed in the state's history.

The bill – which was passed by the Senate on third reading on Feb. 13 – allows for motorcycles to pass stopped cars while traveling a speed that does not exceed 15 mph. Under these terms, Colorado would become the first lane-filtering state to require vehicles to be at a complete stop before a motorcyclist can overtake them.

While SB24-079 saw initial pushback from the Colorado State Patrol Association, County Sheriffs of Colorado and the Association of Chiefs of Police, it passed a Feb. 7 hearing of the Colorado Senate Transportation and Energy Committee after three amendments were added. The amendments included a reduction in motorcyclist speed from 20 to 15 mph while passing; the requirement for vehicles in the lane to be completely stopped before overtaking; and the need for the Colorado Department of Transportation to gather traffic accident data and report to the legislature no later than January 2027 about the efficacy of the proposed law.

Upon the bill's introduction in the House of Representatives, Representative Ron Weinberg (R – Loveland) joined Representative Javier Mabrey (D – Denver) as a Co-Prime sponsor. The bill needs to pass the House Transportation Committee before facing a full House floor vote. As of publication, the bill has not been assigned to committee.

The AMA, which closely followed and supported the progression of SB24-079, endorses the practice of lane splitting, given its long-term success in California and research showing it enhances motorcycle safety.

[emrat:14458] BOB SHEEHAN - POSSIBLE T140E REBUILD?!

[emrat:14457] lane splitting/filtering legislation proposal

The following was copied from the April 2024 issue of American Motorcyclist, the AMA's publication.

Bob

Rocky Mountain Milestone

Lane filtering and passing bill passed by Colorado Senate, moves on to House of Representatives

By Keaton Maisano

The Colorado Senate voted 22-8 (with five excused) in favor of passing Colorado SB24-079 – a motorcycle lane filtering and passing bill – marking the furthest such a bill has progressed in the state's history.

The bill – which was passed by the Senate on third reading on Feb. 13 – allows for motorcycles to pass stopped cars while traveling a speed that does not exceed 15 mph. Under these terms, Colorado would become the first lane-filtering state to require vehicles to be at a complete stop before a motorcyclist can overtake them.

While SB24-079 saw initial pushback from the Colorado State Patrol Association, County Sheriffs of Colorado and the Association of Chiefs of Police, it passed a Feb. 7 hearing of the Colorado Senate Transportation and Energy Committee after three amendments were added. The amendments included a reduction in motorcyclist speed from 20 to 15 mph while passing; the requirement for vehicles in the lane to be completely stopped before overtaking; and the need for the Colorado Department of Transportation to gather traffic accident data and report to the legislature no later than January 2027 about the efficacy of the proposed law.

Upon the bill's introduction in the House of Representatives, Representative Ron Weinberg (R – Loveland) joined Representative Javier Mabrey (D – Denver) as a Co-Prime sponsor. The bill needs to pass the House Transportation Committee before facing a full House floor vote. As of publication, the bill has not been assigned to committee.

The AMA, which closely followed and supported the progression of SB24-079, endorses the practice of lane splitting, given its long-term success in California and research showing it enhances motorcycle safety.

[emrat:14450] Colorado Springs Motorcycle Show and Swap

The annual CO Springs Motorcycle swap is this weekend.

Just putting this out in case anyone wants to go.

I will be there on Sunday around 11:00. I'll likely be driving my truck since I may be looking for some parts for my Harley.

If anyone else wants to meet up, let me know!

Re: [emrat:14449] All the bad news at once:

Yikes! Glad to hear you and Doc are OK.

Also a good cautionary tale to remind riders that many car drivers are not watching for motorcycles, so keep your head on a swivel!

As many of you may now know, Dan Pilcher lost Maddie on Saturday from her battle with cancer:

I just talked to Doc Murdoch. He had a stroke on March 8th. Someone was looking out for him as many of you know he lives by himself. He had a service tech there for an upgrade to his internet and wifi and When the Tech went to ask Doc a question, he was "asleep" on his couch. The Tech couldn't wake him and called 911. Denver FD EMT's transported him to Denver Health and they diagnosed the stroke. It was a relatively minor one and he is now in a residency rehab facility until next Friday or so. It's affected his right side and his vision but the prognosis sounds good.

Lastly, and very minor in comparison, I was headed to Erico two weeks ago for service when I was rear ended on my Bonnie 2 blocks from Erico. Very minor injury on my lag but it did $3500 damage to the bike which will be repaired by Erico courtesy of the driver's insurance. It happened when the car driver in front of me stopped to allow a parallel parker to pull out, I was slowing to about 2MPH when the jeepp behind me did not stop in time and knocked me over on the right side of the bike.

Let's hope spring is around the corner and everyone is back to a better place!
