if you want all the laws pertaining to motorcycles, download this pdf file, which is Title 40 of the O.C.G.A. (Official Code of Georgia, Annotated)

http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/GaCode/Title40.pdf

then do an edit..find..and put in the word 'motorcycle'. You will get about 20 or so hits, which covers all the state law pertaining to Georgia motorcycles. Amazing stuff

I'd be a little weary of "Laws 4 Hogs", I found a few errors and interesting omissions.
