Default We need motorcycle activist section.

I am sure that this will be placed in the political forum after awhile. But I am serious! We need to Motorcycle Activist forum where members can take part in their rights as motorcycle riders. We have a lot of members here and we should be a loud voice.

I'm thinking instead of sitting on the sidelines and complaining about it, we should be doing something about it.

No it isn't.
It for information about HD and riding in general.

I am talking about posting upcoming issues, past issues within our governments local and federal. Contacts for these agencies.

Working with other motorcycle agencies.

Default RE: We need motorcycle activist section.

that would be good. I just joined CBA/ABATE of NC. They have a pretty good agenda, not just trying to get rid of a helmet law like most, but trying to instill motorcycle awareness in the state driver training programs. Informing the soon to be drivers that there really ARE motorcycles out there and what to watch for! What a concept. Thay have already had the local govm't put up "look out for motorcycles" signs up at some precarious intersections.

Great.

Our local ABATE meets once per month. A lot of people don't go to meetings, this leaves a lot of us out in the dark.

A forum section for all Motorcycle activists would be seriously powerful if ran right.
IE who to write letters to. What phones numbers for what agencies.
What is the newest bill/legeslation is being concidered or not.

Some place that all of this can fit under.

Something to get us involved.

I'm talking about the same thing. There is often discussion about the exact same things you mentioned ... at least internally. The only thing missing is outside contact with the agencies you mention.

I think this is agreat idea, by the way! What better way to get a collective understanding of motorcyle safety and a means to help the 'cause'.
