Question What Is The AMA Thinking

Why would the AMA want to encourage a bunch of Weekend Warriors to 1 day out of the year ride there bikes to work. I know that they are trying to demonstrate how many motorcyclists there are and that motorcycles are viable means of transportation but it seems like asking a bunch of people who normally ride for recreation to take one day out of the year and negotiate the challenge of commuting to work is a somewhat dangerous proposition.

I saw a number of riders today and they were not prepaired for the task that they took on.
