  Good News on this front.  The Motorcycles OK sighs were removed because  
legislation was passed that makes motorcycles OK in all of Californias car pool  
lanes.  They took the signs down to avoid redundancy ( and to give people  
something to do.  You know, 4 to 5 people stand around the back of the truck  
and watch the new person take an hour to remove the sign. =8-) ).
  Previously it was up to the county, so there had to be a sign to let you know  
how you stood in each county.
