Hon Rymer meets with cross section of bikers
“I was grateful to have the opportunity to be able to sit with a cross-section of the motorcycling/scooter community today hosted by 284 REVERZ,” Hon Rymer wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday, June 6, 2020.
The Minister said it was “important for me to hear them out and be able to walk away with a better understanding as to how we can work together towards a positive outcome.”
The restriction on the motor scooters, motorbikes and 3-wheel vehicles has been getting mixed reactions and persons have called on Government to instead enforce the rules regarding motor scooters already in place.
“We are hoping to use this opportunity as a catalyst for change, as we continue to improve movement on our roadways as I am committed to working with everyone involved, especially our young people,” Hon Rymer stated.
Virgin Islands News Online reached out to the Minister for details arising out of the meeting but was unsuccessful up to the time of publication.
Legalise yourself
It was the host of Honestly Speaking, Mr Claude O. Skelton Cline, who on his show on ZBVI 780 AM on June 4, 2020, called on the Minister to hold “a big meeting over the next 13 days and ask all the bikers to show up and tell them to bring their bikes and have the Department of Motor Vehicles right down there in the festival grounds.”
He pointed out that during that time bikers should be given the opportunity to meet with insurance companies to insure their vehicles, and with DMV to license them.
“If you want to ride your bike, if you want the curfew lifted off from you, legalise yourself!” Mr Skelton-Cline had urged.

The hammer is about to hit the nail on the head you young people better listen take heed because you may have to buy a car instead. Try your best and not for the moment only but for the future. Time to get sober up together we can make the necessary changes that will bring about better for the territory and all of us as people.
It's one thing to have freedom and its another to have it taken away from you.
It's one thing to be able to have life that was given to us by the creator and its another thing play careless and take it away by our own recklessness. So I urge you to be wise and live life to the fullest by being safe and implementing safe practices. Those of you who are doing your best to be safe and are following regulations keep doing it that to can help others to do the right thing. I tip my hat off to you.
If a rider can proof that he is working until 5:00pm he should be allowed to get home until 6:00pm
