A new piece of legislation being voted on would officially make <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/harley-davidson\">Harley-Davidson<\/a> the State Motorcycle. We know what you&#8217;re thinking here folks&#8230; why doesn&#8217;t my state have an official motorcycle? Perhaps you should consider moving to Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>The passing of Bill 596 will not be as simple as a cruise down Main Street on your favorite Road King, though. The advocacy group <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noisefree.org\/\">Noise Free America<\/a> is voicing more than just support for the company, which has been a staple of Wisconsin history since 1903. It lists motorcycles as the fourth worst offender &#8211; just edging out the dreaded leaf blower &#8211; as noise polluters in this country.<\/p>\n<p>Noise Free America&#8217;s goal is to use this opportunity to set a precedent for any other state with two-wheeled ambitions. This opposition may prove to be no more than a bump in the road for Wisconsin Bill 596 as overwhelming support should make quick work of officially labeling the Badger State as Hog Heaven.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-harley-davidson-forty-eight\/low\/\">2010 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-harley-davidson-forty-eight\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/harley-davidson-forty-eight-large17_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-harley-davidson-forty-eight\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/harley-davidson-forty-eight-large08_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-harley-davidson-forty-eight\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/harley-davidson-forty-eight-large03_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-harley-davidson-forty-eight\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/harley-davidson-forty-eight-large16_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-harley-davidson-forty-eight\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/harley-davidson-forty-eight-large01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clutchandchrome.com\/News\/MotorcycleNews100071.htm\">Clutch &amp; Chrome<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/19\/beer-cheese-and-bikes-harley-davidson-may-be-named-state-motor\/\">Beer, Cheese and Bikes: Harley-Davidson may be named State Motorcycle of Wisconsin<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:30:00 EST.
