IN THE WIND P46 STIFFER PENALTY FOR ENDANGERING MOTORCYCLISTS I n New York, the state senate passed increased penalties for motorists who endanger motorcy- clists and pedestrians through reckless or careless driving. S.6748-A, sponsored by Senator Rich Funke (R-Fairport), is called Credo-Kade's Law after two motorcyclists were killed while riding. The bill would ensure a misdemeanor charge against any driver who causes serious injury or death to another person when the driver disobeys a traffic law. The penalties include 30 days in jail and/or a minimum $300 fine. Under current state law, there is no penalty for causing injury or death unless the motorist is driving while drunk or under a suspended license. CN RYAN DUNGEY BARES ALL Y ou may not have seen much of Ryan Dungey in a while on account of his injury-related absence from the Pro Motocross Championship, but you might now see more of him than you ever expected to. Ryan Dungey recently starred in the 2016 ESPN Magazine Body Issue. Dungey is one of 19 athletes chosen to bare all for the camera in the maga- zine's annual pictorial. "I would have to say this was a little bit out of my comfort zone, but a great opportunity," Dungey commented via social media. "I'm very excited and honored to be in this year's ESPN Body Issue 2016." This issue marks the third time a motocross athlete has been featured in the ESPN Body Issue, which showcases athletes in revealing, yet tasteful portraits. WMX Pro racer Tarah Gieger was featured in the 2013 issue, and action sports icon Travis Pastrana was featured in the 2014 issue alongside his wife Lyn-Z. Dungey has also been nomi- nated for an ESPY award for this year's Best Male Action Sports Athlete. To see the photos from Ryan Dungey's ESPN photoshoot, CLICK HERE. CN PHOTOGRAPHY BY KTM IMAGES
