Attention All Motorcyclists:

The American Motorcyclist Association is asking all of us--AMA members or otherwise--to complete and mail the survey found on pages 25-26 of the August 2006 issue of American Motorcyclist magazine, also downloadable from here:

http://ldrlongdistancerider.com/AMA_Survey_200608.pdf

The survey header reads as follows:

"Every two years, the AMA's Government Relations Department surveys the Association's members to assist in establishing government relations policies and priorities. Last month, we surveyed members on off-highway issues. This month, we're asking road riders to share their views about highway issues. Knowing how you ride and what you consider important in motorcycling enables us to do a better job of setting AMA government relations priorities. We hope you'll take a few minutes to complete and return this survey by August 31..."

AND I HOPE YOU WILL, TOO!

This survey could not have come out at a better time. Because like it or not, state helmet law issues are rapidly being absorbed into a national helmet law war. The American Automobile Association is spearheading the attack for the cagers, and the only entity on our side that might possibly be able to counter their moves is the AMA.

So please, do take a few moments to download, print, complete and mail this survey to the AMA. Pay close attention to your responses on questions 15 through 21, and send them a clear message that it is time for AMA to start aggressively defending our rights against the AAA and other well-heeled national lobbies who are taking them away.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL AND DISTRIBUTE THE AMA SURVEY FORM TO AS MANY BIKERS AS YOU CAN.

Ride Long, Ride Free!
