Dozens of motorcycles of all shapes and sizes roared through the rain soaked streets of Somerville early  Thursday morning and assembled at 9 New Washington Street for “The Massachusetts Motorcycle Association’s 10th Annual Storm The Statehouse Legislative Lobbying Day.”

The Somerville Lion’s Club donated the club hall for the  day to the Motorcycle Association for their annual breakfast so the bikers could enjoy a hot cup of coffee, a sandwich or two and a muffin.

The group will ride from Somerville to the steps of the State House in Boston to lobby for:

MMA Adult “Helmet Choice Bill”

MMA “Motorcycle Safety Fund Bill”

MMA “Motorcycle Sound Emissions Bill”

MMA “Right-of-Way Bill”

MMA “Motorcycle Training Bill”

MMA “Malfunctioning Traffic Signal Bill”

MMA “Personal Clothing Exemption Bill”

MMA “Motorcycle out of State Riders Bill”

all for the 2011-2012 Legislative Session.
