Motorcyclists responsibilities
spelled out under new state law
Oregon motorcyclists have
both their rights and duties in
tr a ffic
spelled out m ore
specifically than ever before
under the state's new vehicle
code which takes effect July 1.
In fact, five of the eight short
sections in the code which deal
with motorcycle rules are new
in Oregon, according to the
Mot'Y Vehicles Division
One new rule may seem
obvious. It requires a motor
cycle rider to sit on a per
manent and regular seat a t
tached to the motorcycle and
requires the rider to sit astride
the seat, facing forward, with
one leg on each side of the
cycle.
If a passenger is carried, he
or she must also sit on a per
manent and regular seat if the
unit is designed to carry more
than one person, or upon
another seat attached to the
