A-3 THE COURIER-NEWS, Saturday, Sept. 8, 1973 Fo rbes a Ikes eye I ban fi ht to Wash i gton WASHINGTON (AP) Magazine Publisher Malcolm S. Forbes made a three-hour round trip air flight to the nation's capital from Newark Friday to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to do something New Jersey's Supreme Court would not do allow motorcycles on the Garden State Parkway. The toll road is the only major road in the country in the world Forbes said that bans motorcycles.

He has been fighting the ban in bis home state, unsuccessfully, since he was turned back on his motorcycle at a Parkway toll booth two years ago. Forbes, 54, of Bedminster, N. a former Republican state senator and gubernatorial candidate, flew to Washington in his company plane, The Capitalist Tool, a name shared with the business magazine he publishes, Forbes. He called his trip "painless and not pointless." With him was his lawyer, George S. Mauro Jr.

of Bridgewater, who filed a petition with the Supreme Court to hear an appeal of a New Jersey Court decision upholding the New Jersey Highway Authority's right to ban motorcycles from the Garden State Parkway, which it operates. Forbes called the ban unique, discriminatory and unsafe. He said the Parkway bans motorcycles on the excuse that they constitute a safety hazard, an excuse he said does not stand up under study. But he said motorcyclists are forced off the Parkway by the ban and on to unsafe local roads with dangerous intersections. Mauro conceded that there is only a slight chance that the U.S.

Supreme Court will take the case, being busy with matters more national in scope, but he said he hoped his approach of asking for federal direction on the powers of autonomous agencies would interest the court. Forbes has been a motorcycle enthusiast about seven years. on the Parkway, in 1961, on the basis of someone's personal prejudice. He said motorcyclists have an unfortunate "leather-jacket" image in the United States and a proposed ban in any other country would not even by considered. Motorcycles, he said, are the "most affordable" made of transportation in many countries where they are "a way of life." Forbes plans on a legislative attack on the ban if the fails in the courts, but he expects the ban to bow to change anyway.

"Motorcycling is no longer limited to "a small, unpopular handful, easy to discriminate against," Forbes said. He said motorcycles are now a "Safe, aconomical and non-polluting family vehicle." Forbes asked for a curbstone opinion from the woman clerk who accepted his lawyer's appeal. "Don't you think it's unfair for the Garden State Parkway to single out motorcycles for a ban," he asked. "It probably is," the woman replied, "but I'm scared to death of the things myself." A pretty, young girl will cry pnimiiimiiiimiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiii CADLI 1 Like everyone else, he said, he thought motorcycles were unsafe and when one of his sons wanted one, he checked. He ended up buying a motorcycle for himself and then brought a motorcycle dealership.

He has been to Canada by motorcycle and he frequently rides one to work through the Lincoln Tunnel. He said he was aware of the Garden State Parkway's motorcycle ban but never gave it any thought. One day he decided to ride on the Parkway "because it was the shortest way home." "I just literally had forgotten about the ban," Forbes said. He was turned back and went the long way around and then into court. Forbes said he is convinced that the ban was put into effect The Courier-News A Gannett Newspaper 1201 Route 22 Somerville.
