December 2021
Cooler weather means more riding
time. Make sure you watch for those
who don’t watch for you!
Upcoming Legislative SessionWe have a few priorities such as lane
filtering, heavier penalties for distracted driving violations, etc.
Will Cleveland has been monitoring
the Tucson area local government
agendas and I have been covering the
rest of the state. No one wants to
spend money to fix the roads but
everyone wants to spend money on
something we don’t need right now. It
get frustrating at times.
I have been hearing of a few incidents
of motorcyclist profiling stemming
from the east valley. Remember! If you
are stopped by law enforcement, DO
NOT engage them in an argument!
Follow directions, DO NOT answer
their fishing questions and if you feel
you have been profiled, let us know.
We will need any documentation you
have along with the officers name,
badge number and who they work for.
The profiling incidents have slowed
down but even one is one too many.
We would still like to host legislative
town halls around the state so all the
ABATE membership can interact with
their legislators.
One last thing… if you would like to
attend a motorcycle lobby day in
January, drop me an email. Motorcycle
Day at the Dome will be moved to
April and on a Saturday but we will
still lobby our legislators in January
for our agenda.
Stay free.
