Just saw this.

Have any of you in the States been aware of this?

They damn well better include mopeds or I'm suing!

Yeah, I saw this on The Drudge Report a few days back...
It's just another way/excuse for our big government to monitor everything we do or about to do.
I will admit that I welcome technology but I'm so glad I got to know the old ways where you could drop off the grid easily.

Completely bogus: look at the url with ".co" at the end.


AMA discredits Internet story involving motorcyclists

As you may have seen, there is a recent story circulating on the Internet about the federal government including all registered motorcyclists in a secret database.
After a thorough review by the American Motorcyclist Association of the article’s sources and the named reporter, we want you to know that this story is not true. Rather, it is a fictional article first created by a satirical website and later picked up by other websites.
In particular:
• One of the most referenced websites appears to be the Washington Post’s official website, but it is not affiliated in any way with the Post. Rather, the website URL includes a domain registered in the country of Colombia.
• A search of MSNBC's website turns up no original story or a Jeremy Lancaster as a reporter.
• Finally, a popular debunking website has already indicated the story is false.

Thanks for the update ff. Good to know. So much bs floating around. Plus one for forums!

True or not, don't care cause I don't trust them.
Too easy for them to keep track with motorcycles registrations and profiling...

As for our privacy, well we don't have much of it those days.
Every e-mail and even texts are (and have been) tracked so it's easy for me to believe that we can be spied on without suspicious behavior like the motorcycle thing.
Heck, even your built in cam on your computer can be turned on without you knowing it.

Kooks are gonna kook.

Heard that on facebook. also heard it's not genuine.

Even if this were true it would just be another DoD/FBI/NSA/CIA list that I am listed on.  The big issue for me is not that we are listed - these days I actually half expect the Federal Government to know how regular my bowel movements are by monitoring my toilet flushes - but that this information is shared with local police departments, many of which are insufficiently trained, and potential employers, who might not read the full report and just see that you are a potential gang member.

If LE employees are as well trained as the people I work with we are all getting imprisoned.

Damn, I thought I was finally going to be a bona fide bad ass. Without the tats and leather. This was a cheap entry into Manhood!

Poop.
