Happy Mid Summer!

Happy Mid Summer!
Hope you are getting some riding in. The fish was delicious at the White House in Lansing at the Freedom Rally. We made the evening news. I know that because I got some hate mail from an unhappy citizen who does not think loud pipes save lives. He used some creative terms to refer to my ancestry. He does need to take a basic English course. His spelling was horrible. I pointed that out to him but he did not take constructive criticism well. What got this dudes panties in a twist is a proposed state wide noise ordnance that has already passed the Transportation Committee. If this bill becomes law, very few stock, or non stock exhaust systems will pass the noise decibel level. It has the potential to shut down many aftermarket suppliers and independent shops.
House Bill 5696. Tell your state representative that you oppose this bill! If you don’t know who to contact, ask your RC, Bear Schuitema, your Regional Legislative Officer or me. The best and easiest way is to email your representative. By emailing, you have a record of contacting them when they say they didn’t hear from you. I know this from personal experience. If you cant email them, call them. The same people mentioned above will have a phone number if you cant find it.
The Field Meet was a good time for us diehards who like to party in the rain and mud. I was having a lot of flashbacks of Oil City, if you remember those rain filled days.Thanks to all that showed up. We made it work.
You may have heard that the Supreme Court overturned the Chevron Doctrine. Simply stated the ruling has made it more difficult for the hundreds of federal agencies to impose regulations by individuals who are not elected officials.
The Sustaining Member program is up and running. I want to thank all the clubs, businesses, and individuals for helping ABATE of Michigan keep doing what we do. We are all motorcyclists working for the the same goals; to be able to ride our bikes without oppressive government overreach. As you know, it takes money to make this happen. Support the businesses and clubs that support us. Consider supporting the COC for $20.00 a year. Their support information is in the Rider. The COC works on the same issues as ABATE. We all need to pull together if we want to see our kids and grand kids riding in 10 years. This is not idle speculation. If we do nothing, motorcycling as we know it will be gone in 10 years.
I want to thank all the Sustaining Members who donated this month. We do not take your generosity lightly. Your donation will help us with the ever growing, and oppressive regulations that are proposed on a daily basis. ABATE cannot do this alone. Your contributions mean more than you may realize. Rest assured we will use every nickel of your donation to prevent draconian laws and government intrusion into the world of motorcycling as we know it. This months Sustaining Members are, 508 FAB, Machining & V-Twin Performance, St Johns Mi., Motorcycle Clubs of Michigan, Dorr Mi. Twisted Renegades, Constantine Mi., Royal Oak Eagle Riders, Waterford Mi. and Survivors MC Lansing Mi. If your club, business, or you as an individual are interested in becoming a Sustaining Member, contact Eric for details, or check out the website for the information. You will get a nice looking framed certificate and a sticker for your efforts
As I write this I got the word that Rich Snooks, RC for Region 11, passed away unexpectedly. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. He was a great guy who will be greatly missed.
People often say, with pride I am not interested in politics. They might as well say I am not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future, or any future. If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics. Martha Gellhorn, American novelist and writer.
