[QUOTE="RSS Feeds, post: 450, member: 49"] Thank Port Jefferson Mayor and BID President for Denouncing Newsletter In response to the outcry of riders and American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) members, the New York Village of Port Jefferson mayor cancelled the last Business Improvement District (BID) meeting to address concerned riders about a BID newsletter that asked local businesses to ban the "unsightly presence of motorcyclists" from Main Street. The mayor and BID president quickly denounced the BID newsletter and cancelled a monthly BID meeting in favor of a question and answer session with motorcyclists.
