You are making a difference in the ongoing mission to protect your rights to ride and enjoy the motorcycle of your choice, your choice of riding apparel, and when and where you can ride your motorcycle. These are issues that are real and present in today's "protect yourself from yourself" political environment. This holds true for all levels of government. There will always be those who see our love for motorcycling as a negative and will try any means to control and if possible prohibit motorcycle use.
On local levels our members get out to vote and support candidates who are sympathetic to our issues. We have helped candidates across the state who in some cases faced formidable opponents, yet still won. We also will endeavor to lobby local government whenever there are issues that need to be addressed affecting local motorcycle use, ownership and any discrimination that may result from said use of ownership.
At the state level we have a paid registered lobbyist who regularly visits our state capital in Tallahassee to lobby our legislators on the issues concerning the motorcycling public in Florida. He also Finds reliable House and Senate sponsors for the bills we support.
On a national level we are aligned with Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), and the National Coalition of Motorcyclists (NCOM), along with several other international motorcyclists rights organizations (MRO'S).
As one can see we have our ear to the ground and our resolve tempered like steel. As Americans we have had to vigilance demonstrated to us time and again the vigilance is armor of free men and women. We shall not let the armor rust or weaken. With your support we can reinforce and strengthen the armor for now and reinforce generations to come.
