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 January 23-24, 2005; and
	WHEREAS, Assembling for the occasion are members of myriad 
local clubs and such statewide groups as the Texas Motorcycle 
Rights Association and Texas Motorcycle Roadriders Association; 
during the 78th Texas Legislature, an estimated 3,000 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 in every corner of the land, including the 
legislative chambers and the Governor's Mansion; 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 79th 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.
