Legislative Update

Today during the TMRA 2 Advisor meeting we discussed original purpose for the founding of the association. The intent was to work within the system to initiate changes in a government that has gone far outside the bounds of our constitution with laws that should never even be filed. Seeing all the other states that have amended their helmet law being attacked and in the case of Louisiana, losing their right to choose we have chosen to take the offensive as the best defense.
We no longer accept governments power to force us to buy insurance to ride our bikes that will not cover injuries while riding a motorcycle. We tried to get the insurance law changed so they would have to cover injury received while involved in any legal activity and the state said no. Just as they refused to institute more severe penalties for those who failed to yeild right of way and caused serious injury or death to innocent victims during traffic violations or denied us the same protection under the law as others who can not be denied services at a Place of Public Accomodations.
We have determined that our Legislative Warriors will no longer accept Senator Jeff Wentworth's Bill as we did in the past.

Be it known to all riders that the Legislative Warriors of TMRA2 will file a Bill this Session to:


Riders 18 and over could ride without a helmet, period.

Mike Alvey stated that introducing this Bill will be like putting a $100 bill in a barrel and pouring broken glass on top. As sttate chair of TMRA2 I will gladly spill my guts on the Floor of both Houses. Will any of you out there join our army and cover my back?


Have I done that which I can do to the best of my ability?

HELL NO !! - but I'm trying.
