It is a good law. The idea is that you treat it like a stop sign instead of a light. You don't get the right of way, just the opportunity to turn if it is safe. I think it is a good idea and tons of bikes are already doing this anyway.

I believe it is an '87 Honda RTL250S. He brought it back from Japan when we moved home in 87, so I would guess he bought it new that year and shipped it. As far as I know, there are only a couple of them in the states. Pretty much every trials guy that sees it tries buying it from him.
