HADDON TOWNSHIP — New Jersey motorcycle dealers are rejoicing that they can now sell bikes on Sundays.

Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill into law allowing the Sunday motorcycle sales on March 3.

The owner of one southern New Jersey dealership said she wrote letters to lawmakers for six years asking for the blue law that had prevented the sales to be overturned.

Barb Borowiec of Barb's Harley-Davidson in Haddon Township says it makes sense to sell bikes on the seventh day. After all, she told the Courier-Post of Cherry Hill, liquor, cigarettes, casino gambling and strip clubs are available that day.

She used to lose customers to dealers in Delaware who couldn't wait a day to ride their bikes.

The law doesn't apply in Bergen County, where Sunday sales of most items are barred.
