Motoclimb Super Series Returns T he 2021 IRC Motoclimb Super Series is returning after taking a year off with a couple new races added to the sched- ule. The Brick Mine (North Dakota) and Wiseco Shootout (Wiscon- sin) will kick off the series in early July. The Big Hill Jam, hosted by Josh Hill and his family in Or- egon, will be the third round and feature other festivities during the weekend. Expect to see Josh Hill compete at more of these races! The legendary Billings Motor- cycle Club will host the South Hills Showdown as the final round of the series. Logan Cipala won the 2019 MSS Championship and is gun- ning for two in a row. CN IN THE WIND P56 Oregon Governor Vetoes Lane-Sharing Bill L ane sharing in Oregon was one step closer to becoming a reality after the Oregon House of Representatives approved Senate Bill 574 with a vote of 42 to 14 on May 17. The House vote occurred after the Oregon Sen- ate passed the bill in early May with wide bipartisan support. The passage marks nearly seven years of advocacy work by local Oregon motorcycle organizations and the AMA to educate lawmak- ers on the bill's safety, traffic and environmental benefits. Despite bipartisan support, however, Gov. Kate Brown vetoed the bill on May 26, cit- ing her concerns about safety. Although the Legislature could still override that veto with a two- thirds vote in both chambers, it's highly unlikely. "The AMA is disappointed in Governor Brown for ignoring the will of the Legislature, which passed this bill with broad sup- port," said the AMA's Director of Government Relations Michael Sayre. "Despite a veto, we'd like to congratulate advocates in the state who've lobbied for years to get this bill to the Governor's desk, which is farther than lane- filtering legislation has ever gone in Oregon, and the AMA plans to continue to work with Oregon advocates to overcome this final hurdle in the future."
