Metro Atlanta motorcyclists have been banned from Atlantic Station. The popular dining and retail district no longer allows riders to drive through or park there.

Motorcycles are now an unwelcome sight. The heart of the retail and dining district is off limits to motorcyclist Jarid Ison and other riders.

We just don't understand why, why not let a bike park there?" asked Ison.

Atlantic Station officials say they took action after facing ongoing problems.

"They continually don't abide by the code of conduct down here, continually rev their engines really loud," said Brian Leary of Atlantic Station.

Atlantic Station started telling motorcyclists about the change last month and will soon post signs and start ticketing violators.

Atlantic Station officials said motorcyclists are welcome to park in the Target parking lot just behind the main retail district or on any of the side streets.

"It's a nuisance, it's a loud nuisance and a lot of time they don't come to spend money in the area, they come to hang out," said Atlanta resident Kenneth Johns.

Many Atlanta Station visitors said they welcomed the change.

"It's nice to have people in a place you can walk and not worry about being run over," said Steve Lytle of Johns Creek.

Ison said he thought motorcyclists were being unfairly targeted.                                                                                 

"We're paying patrons just like somebody in a car," said Ison.

"I know it's tough. We do definitely apologize to the motorcycle owners and riders but in the meantime we are making the change," said Leary.

What a crock of BULL!  This story is full of holes and if we as the voters do not push these politians out when they make these Bone Head desision we will no longer enjoy our freedoms we take for granted everyday.

Like cars do not have loud  pipes and rev there engines?  Time to ban all cars too.

"It's a nuisance, it's a loud nuisance and a lot of time they don't come to spend money in the area, they come to hang out," said Atlanta resident Kenneth Johns.

Who the hell is resident Kenneth Johns?  I am so sure he has documented and has a graph chart of all the spending habits of the visitors...  What self-centered Bullshit.

"It's nice to have people in a place you can walk and not worry about being run over," said Steve Lytle of Johns Creek.

Another jackass quote!  No one has probably ever been run over by a motorcycle down ther, but you can find plenty of accident reports where the old farts pressed the gas instead of the brake and either killed someone or cause major property damage.

So what can you do...Make a call and promise to help remove the supporting politicians out of office.  Otherwise, welcome to welcome to the Russian version of Atlanta, GA .
