Motorbike Rider Concerns: The Need For Action

By Darnell Austria




Enemies of motorcycling are working extra trying to take away the liberties of off-highway and street bikers. They wish to prevent us from driving along streets, on community area, or even in your own backyards.

Those averse to motorcycle riding would like to show us how to live how we live. Insurance carriers wish to increase our rates and prohibit specific bike types completely.

Actually bikers confront discrimination and the dangers of discriminatory laws every day: Motorcycle-only checkpoints, as an example, single out riders, are discriminatory, and are happening now. These assaults on our liberty should stop.



Many of us not long ago showed that with a landmark victory when the AMA together with its affiliates played out an important role in passing federal law that removed a wrong country wide prohibition about the selling of kids' off-highway motor bikes and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Not having the effort of everyone within the biking community from street motorcycle and ATV niche authorities to young riders, this triumph would not have happened.

If street and off-highway riders had not joined forces to turned around this particular legislation, we may have lost a whole era of young bikers who would one day come to be adult motorcyclists.

Attacks on the freedoms of off-highway riders affect street riders, and the opposite way round. When attackers of motorcycle riding succeed victories towards one group, it provides them the energy to address others. Plus some key concerns are shared by both street and off-highway motorcyclists, like health care insurance discrimination by which medical plans won't cover accidental injuries sustained in a bike crash.

We're advocating transportation representatives to get rid of the grant program that awards taxpayer funds to states with regards to establishing motorcycle-only check points. Officials say they are pulling over bikers and subjecting them to roadside check ups for the purpose of promoting safety: But if the federal government really wants to promote motorcycling protection, why not use those same funds to aid confirmed motorbike accident reduction plans, such as rider education and driver knowledge? We've revealed that when we stand together, we can really make a difference. This is the time for each of us to do our part to safeguard our freedoms. More members mean more political clout.
