R E S O L U T I O N
       WHEREAS, Bikers from across Texas are gathering for their
Legislative Day at the State Capitol on Monday, January 22, 2007;
and
       WHEREAS, Assembling for the occasion are members of a myriad
of local clubs and such statewide groups as the Texas Motorcycle
Rights Association II, Texas ABATE Confederation, and Texas
Confederation of Clubs; during the 79th Texas Legislature, an
estimated 5,000 bikers took part in this biennial event; and
       WHEREAS, Laced with more than 200,000 miles of highways and
park, county, and farm-to-market roads, the Lone Star State offers
bikers ample room to roam, and the Texas motorcycle fraternity
includes members from every corner of the land; and
       WHEREAS, Elected and appointed officials such as Governor
Rick Perry, Senator Kel Seliger, Representatives Fred Brown, Norma
Chavez, Chuck Hopson, and Borris Miles, and Commissioner of
Education Shirley J. Neeley are motorcycle enthusiasts; and
       WHEREAS, Texas bikers contribute significantly to their
communities, organizing riding events for the enjoyment of the
entire family and for the support of a wide range of charitable
causes; and
       WHEREAS, Together with their readiness to lend a helping
hand, motorcycle enthusiasts embody the spirit of adventure, love
of the outdoors, and passion for freedom that have long been
associated with the Texan character; through their attention to the
legislative process, those who have gathered in Austin this week
are also demonstrating an admirable example of civic engagement;
now, therefore, be it
       RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
Legislature welcome all those motorcyclists participating in
Legislative Day at the State Capitol and extend to them sincere best
wishes for an enjoyable and memorable visit.
