“Let’s Ride Together”
A message from our President...
Greetings fellow
Abate members,
I just came from our
Jack Daniels Experience Fund raiser
where we were able
to raise over $13,000
for the organization.
I know what some
of you are thinking
“Why is Abate, a safeety organization, partners with Jack Daniel’s?” Well my friends
as you all know by now, I believe very strongly in rights and
freedoms so I will never say you can’t drink. Myself, Abate
and Jack Daniels want people to be responsible. To be responsible is to know your limits. This doesn’t only apply to
alcohol. If you are tired, cold, hungry or otherwise distracted
you are not going to be at the top of your game. Be responsible... slow down, take a break, get a snack, stretch your legs
and clear your head. Do whatever you have to but above all
else be safe. And that my friends is why we felt being partners
with Jack Daniels, who’s tag is all about responsibility is good.
Volume 37 Issue 6
Next up is the 37th Annual State Rally @ Menoken Grove on
June 8th - 10th. In response to your requests the weenie bite
will be back in the game rotation this year along with Biker
Balls, Biker Jousting and more. We have BATTERY, the #1
Metallica tribute band and RELEVANT a 90s band - and
TWICE AS HARD a classic rock band to rock the dance
floor all night long. Along with all the great vendors and wonderful people this is a weekend you don’t want to miss.
Our Fargo site is under construction and on schedule to be
up and running by the 1st of June. We are super excited to
have a visible presence in West Fargo. We are also looking
for support in the eastern part of the state to help spread the
word about Abate and all we stand for and do for our communities across the state.
Last but not least I wanted to thank those brave souls that
rode to Washburn with us after our ABATE Open House.
Also, thanks to Dairy Queen of Bismarck for the ice cream
when we got back.
Until I see you in the wind...Ride Free// Ride Safe

“Let’s Ride Together”
Greetings Fellow Abate members
Just came back from Indy this past weekend after attending
the National Coalition of Motorcyclist Convention. “Shitty”
from the Roughriders M.C. “Hawk” Second Brigade M.C..
Along with Eric Freedom Riders M.C. and Justin Vinje our
ND AIM attorney. Once again an awesome attendance of
Freedom fighters from around the country. Attending these
types of conferences makes one appreciate living in good old
North Dakota. We are so fortunate that we do not have the
type of horror stories that other states are dealing with.
We do not have the Motorcycling profiling issues to any great
extent nor do we have the Motorcycle only checkpoints. The
list goes on and on with the different states reporting on
their legal and safety issues. Even listening how other states
have no relationship with their local Departments of Highway Safety offices. It also gives us the knowledge of what is
always coming from a Federal level towards motorcyclist.
Your Education Department is running along smoothly our
Fargo location will be done by our June 1 deadline. We have
over 1,000 students registered for classes already. Look for
some new television commercials coming your way this summer with sharing the road and ride responsible campaigns.
Have you being doing your part to promote our great organization Remember we will not be able to make our goals of
Volume 37 Issue 6
doubling our membership numbers unless we each participate
in this event. It would be simple if we each signed up one
new member we would meet our goal.

Greetings Dist 2!
Well it looks like riding season is
FINALLY here. We had a few days
here and there, but the coming
weeks look to be warmer.
Remember to practice safety when you ride. There is a lot of
dirt on the streets because of all of the construction going
on all over town, and in all the surrounding towns around
Minot. Be especially careful of all the trucks we are sharing
the streets and highways with. Why not sign up for the ERC
class, and get a tune up on your skills?
Volume 37 Issue 6
We went to the flood fund raiser at the civic center on Saturday. Kent was there with the ABATE trailer. Some riders
from the Ice Box Riders in Minot, rode down to display there
bikes. THANKS GUYS for helping out! We looked the classic cars, and the National Guard display. We also got to listen
to Mylo Hudensbuhler. I don’t know who was funnier, Mylo
or Kent. Just kidding Kent! All in all it was a good weekend
in Bismarck.
Coming events for this month; The ABATE State Rally in
Menoken on the 8th -10th. This will be a good time to renew
acquaintance’s from around the state, and have a good biker
time. The District 2 Bikini Bike wash on the 30th, and the
Minot Harley shop from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Come and
help raise money for ABATE, and get your bike washed at
the same time. Win Win!
I see what happens when I forget to put the next meeting
notice in the newsletter, hardly no one comes, so no excuse
for next month, Monday June 4th, at the Rollin Pin Restaurant, 7:00 pm. Come at 6:00 pm and join us for supper. Any
one can attend, and if your not a member, come and check
us out, and maybe sign up. We are always looking for new
members, and welcome back old ones. Remember, there is
strength in numbers.
Ride safe, Ride Far, and Ride Often,

June and I went to the Jack event this weekend in Bismarck,
and it was awesome. Janet really did a bang up job with this
one. There were many door prizes, and a lot of things for
fund raising. I know that an event of this magnitude, takes a
lot of work, so thanks Janet. She promised some other events
to come, so watch the news from the office. There was a
silent auction on Jack stuff, and a live auction on some bigger
things. There was a full life sized statue up for auction, one
of only 2 in the upper Midwest, that came home to Minot to
live with John and Sally. We know he will be happy there.

Hello fellow Abate members,
It sure is nice to have spring and
some warmer weather. A lot less
wind would be fine tho. Those
friendly little wood ticks & dandelions must think we miss them--the first nice day we get they
come popping out from nowhere!
We had a nice group ride on May 5th. The Devils Lake CMA
Chapter met the Minot CMA Chapter in Rugby & invited
anyone with who was interested. We all had dinner together
there then rode up threw Lake Metigoshi and made a few
stops to visit. We made a full day of it and it was a very enjoyable day. Thanks for the invite! Also thanks for the invite to
the Hamar breakfast run which will be history when you read
this. That’s always a very good breakfast.
The SLRMC Bike Rally and Rodeo is almost here--May 26th28th. Everything will be at Roosevelt Park with a ride each
day. The benefit supper this year will be for a club member
and he’s also an Abate member. Tim has lung cancer and he

District 3
District 5
Though I know it is the 8th of
May and all the planting is done
with the exception of 70 acres
of soybeans and we are a month
ahead of last year, something in
me keeps wanting it to be warmer
and nicer out than it is, so then I
have to look at the calendar and
look at the date and realize that that 75 degree weather in
March was a great gift and what we have been having now
probably is pretty close to normal or even a bit above normal.
I really haven’t had much time for riding since I got back
from the Florida trip but have been envious of the bikes I see
from the window of the tractor cab rolling down the highway
but I know soon I will be the one enjoying those days. Menoken is fast approaching and we can hope for some sunny
skies and warm weather for the gathering. Every weekend in
the summer there seems to be a ride or more which isn’t out
of range for most people in the state.
It is seldom I turn the TV on and I seem to keep in touch
with news events either written in the papers online or
printed publications which I guess is my way of filtering out
what I don’t want to listen to. I read recently of a motorcyclist being hit in Grand Forks by someone making a left turn
and my thoughts immediately went to the safety programs
and public awareness of bikes. This was followed by the
reading of Abates part in getting the Michigan states helmet
law removed which I believe is part of freedom of choice
and living in America. Just last night I read with interest an
article that has hit the news media out of the state of South
Carolina that officers have for the second time since last
July ticketed an individual for having a replica of a pair of
testicles hanging from their rear bumper. Well the first thing
that came to mind was it was a good thing my bike was in
the trailer coming through that state on the way back from
Florida as yes I have a pair on the back of my bike and also
a pair hanging on the back of the small trailer I pull behind
my bike. I always enjoy it when a little old lady passes me on
interstate and you see them smiling or laughing and you know
what they are laughing about. But in our world of political
correctness maybe one more of my freedoms of self expression will soon be taken away by our government. Yes I know
it is just a small thing but to me there is nothing more offensive than seeing guys walking around with their pants down
to their knees so I guess until the fines get to be too much my
jewels will keep dangling on the back of my bike. Until next
time ride free ride safe.

Hello everyone, we hope everybody is doing well and riding hard,
but safe of course. First things
first, we have decided to change
the day of our gatherings to the
first Thursday of the month at
7pm. Reason for this, we are going to try a little earlier in the
evening and over the summer there appears to be many other
events on the second Thursday. Case in point, Moorhead,
MN is holding Bike Night at the Moorhead Center Mall parking lot. There are vendors, dealerships, a beer garden, and
much more to enjoy so anyone interested come check it out,
it’s garrentied to be a good time.
The new building and course are well under way and by the
time you read this they should be ready to go for classes.
There was a slight mix up in communication on the exact location, we had the understanding that it was going up directly
behind the Hooligan’s strip mall in south, West Fargo, but it
is actually just south of the strip mall on Shyenne.. So your all
invited to drive by and take a look.
As you all already know it’s that time again, time for the 37th
Annual State Rally at Menoken Grove. Remember it’s a member’s only party so make sure you have your membership card
and ID ready at the gate when you get there to make things
go a little quicker for you and the people running the gate.
So come out hang with good friends and rock out to good
music, you won’t be disappointed.
We ask that everyone par-take in as many of the rides and
fund raisers as you can as the summer is jam-packed with
them, because it’s helping a good cause, hangin’ with good
friends, and just another reason to get out and ride.
We would like to thank The Harwood Hideout for becoming a business sponsor. We are grateful to have your support.
That being said our next gathering will be at the Harwood
Hideout on Thursday June 7, at 7pm. We hope to see you
there.
I’m probably forgetting something, if I am, I’m sorry. So
until next time, have fun and be safe.

Also, a few groups were able to take the ERC class held at

Hello fellow ABATE members.
Hello Abate People!
PLEASE NOTE: next District
meeting - 5:30 pm, May 24th at
Dean’s Steakhouse in Mandan.
We will ride to the Wet Spot in Glen
Ullin. Everyone is welcome to join us.
The 37th Abate State Rally at
Menoken Grove is almost here! We
have been waiting since last year! It’ss
gonna be a blast. I can’t wait to see
all of our friends. We have been going for 22 years and it’s
always been fun rain or shine and even hail!
We had our April meeting at the Tumbleweed in Lincoln.
I would like to thank the Tumbleweed for becoming an
ABATE sponsor.
Tricia and I will be entering the ABATE truck and trailer
in the State Fair Parade on July 21st. The paperwork has
been submitted to the ND State Fair Parade committee.
Alice Thompson and Tom Birkholz volunteered to enter the
ABATE truck and a trailer in the Mandan 4th of July parade.
We are working on the details for the District 9/10 Toy Run
for this year. Will have more for you next month.
We are discussing some combined ABATE district rides.
This is what we have come up with:
Date: August 11 - Route 1804-1806: Ride down to
Mobridge on Hwy 1804 and back on Hwy 1806. Tentative
plan is for District 2 to ride down and meet up with district
9/10 North either in Underwood or Washburn. From there
the group would go to the ABATE office to meet up with
9/10 South. The route is 250 to 300 miles so we should be
leaving Bismarck about 10 am. For lunch we could stop at
Beaver Bay on 1804 and for supper we can stop at Prairie
Knights Casino on 1806. There isn’t much open in Mobridge
on Sundays so this should be a Saturday run.
Date: September 8 - Lindeman Museum in Golden
Valley: For this ride we would meet in Riverdale or Pick City
then we will do a group ride to Golden Valley. We could make
this a small fun run by stopping at some of the sponsors in
the area and maybe Rick can work with a couple of sponsors
in the area to set up a lunch and snacks.
Schedule for the next meetings: 5:30 pm, May 24th at Dean’s
Steakhouse in Mandan - ride to Wet Spot in Glen Ullin; 5:30
pm, June 21st. ABATE office in Bismarck – ride to Bayside
Resort, 5:30 pm, July 26th Hideaway in Mandan - ride to
Center-Hanover-back to Burger King in Mandan,
Until next time…
We will have lunch and talk about our Abate/Toy Run. The
Toy Run will be on July 28. The route will be Bowman,
Rhame, Ludlow, Buffalo(gas stop), Reva, Reeder, Scranton
and Bowman. It’s about a 180 mile ride. Should be a blast.
We have the Share the Road signs out for MAY MC Awareness Month. We have Sold 80 at Jabbr’s so far. It’s a good
place to put them so everyone can see them.
MSP classes are up and running. They will be in Bowman this
weekend. You Can get half of your money back if you’re a
Abate Member. Plus $50 in Safety Gear. That’s a good deal
and it could save your life. Please look twice And look again.
Please don’t Drink and Ride. It’s the cause of most MC
Crashes. There has been two fatalities early this year so far.
Not a good start.
There was one in Rapid City yesterday. The rider was hit by a
truck. There were good MC riding tips in last months newsletter. Check it out if you didn’t read it.

MICHIGAN RIDERS
WIN HELMET
FREEDOM
Proving that persistence pays
off, motorcyclists in Michigan
shook off the sting of two
previous gubernatorial vetoes
of their helmet law repeal
bills over the past few years
and bounced back to win freedom of choice with the stroke
of their new governor’s pen.
“Michigan gained freedom today when Governor Rick
Snyder signed the bill (SB 291) into law (Public Act #98) that
repeals the 37-year old mandatory helmet law,” announced
Angel Richardson, Legislative Director for the Michigan
Confederation of Clubs and a member of the National Coalition Of Motorcyclists (NCOM) Board of Directors. “The
repeal is effective immediately!,” she continued. “Thanks to
everyone who made a phone call, sent a letter or a postcard,
or sent an e-mail.....your efforts made a difference.”
Volume 37 Issue 6
MOTORCYCLE SAFETY ACT
BECOMES LAW IN WISCONSIN
Governor Scott Walker signed AB55 into law, reports
ABATE of Wisconsin, which not only clarifies penalties
for right-of-way violations but also establishes motorcycle awareness training in Drivers-Ed courses.
AB55 provides a technical correction for 2006 Wisconsin Act 466, moving the penalty provisions from the
courts to an administrative function of the DMV. All
right-of-way violators that cause serious injury or death
on Wisconsin’s roadways will be subject to up to a one
thousand dollar fine and up to a nine month license
suspension and must complete a DOT approved rightof-way awareness class before being reinstated. Also,
AB55 adds a mandatory minimum of thirty minutes of
motorcycle awareness training in all drivers’ education
classrooms throughout the state.
The Michigan legislature overwhelmingly approved the measure with broad bipartisan support, and with Gov. Snyder’s
signature on April 12th Michigan now joins 30 other states
in amending their mandatory helmet law in favor of adult
choice. “The new law modernizes Michigan’s outdated mandatory helmet law, which was a holdover from bygone days
leaving Michigan in the minority as one of only 20 states left
enforcing an empty federal mandate,” said Vince Consiglio,
President of ABATE of Michigan.
“It is ABATE of Wisconsin’s hope that the education
and awareness portions of this law will help promote
responsible driving on Wisconsin’s roadways and make
our roads safer for all roadway users,” said the motorcyclists’ rights organization in a prepared statement.
The proposal to update Michigan’s mandatory helmet law
was introduced in the Senate by Senator Phil Pavlov (R) St.
Clair. “Every year, millions of dollars leave our state because
of Michigan’s outdated mandatory helmet law,” Pavlov said.
“This bipartisan plan will keep our dollars here, attract even
more tourists to Michigan and help our state in these tough
economic times.”
Safety studies show the most dangerous time for
motorcyclists is their first year riding, peaking in the
first month. For motorcycle riders, their first 30 days
are about four times more risky than their entire second year. A study by the Highway Loss Data Institute
shows 22% of nearly 57,000 collision claims from 2003
to 2007 occurred within 30 days of a new policy taking effect. The claim rate then dropped by one-third in
the second month and by almost two-thirds after six
months. The facts also show that with proper training
and responsible riding will these risks are reduced.
Allowing motorcyclists to ride helmet-free could also generate more than $1 billion in direct and indirect revenue, according to a recent Michigan Consultants study.
The new law gives Michigan the strictest requirements for
riding helmet-free of any state that has modified mandatory
helmet laws for adult choice. To ride helmet-free in Michigan, motorcyclists must:
* Be at least 21 years old.
* Have at least two years of riding experience or undergo
special safety training.
* Carry at least $20,000 in additional medical insurance.

Motorcycle Tire Maintenance and
Proper Inspection
A visual inspection of your motorcycle tires is something you
should be doing before you ride.
It will only take a few moments to look for anything out of
the ordinary, such as punctures that could cause a loss of
pressure or a dangerous blowout In older tires, bulging or
cracking may also occur. For best results, put your bike on a
Big Wheel Motorcycle Lift and spin the tires slowly to properly inspect the entire road surface of the tires.
Also check your tire pressure at least once weekly. It is crucial and affects your handling, ride quality, and fuel economy.
Even the smallest adjustments can make an improve these.
Having a properly inflated tire will also cause the tires not
wear as fast and wear evenly. The best time to check your tire
pressure is when the tires are cool before you ride. Reference
your owner’s manual or for the correct tire pressure.
Tread depth is also important. The way to check your tread
depth is to place a quarter in the tread groove. Ensure that
the top of the tire does not extend below the top of Washington’s head. If it does, it may be time to look into replacing
the tire. With these tips, you are sure to have a safe, smooth
ride, as well as increase the life of your tires!
Volume 37 Issue 6
Motorcycle Safety Tip: Tire Troubles
If you're on a motorcycle and you suspect you've got a flat
tire, time is of the essence: your first priority is to ensure you
can safely pull over and get out of the flow of traffic.
Applying brakes can cause a loss of control, so carefully maneuver your bike with a firm grip on the handlebars, without
fighting the bike too much. Avoid downshifting or braking
until you're at a slower speed, and if you're certain you know
which tire is deflated, apply brakes to the other wheel lightly
and gradually. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation reminds
you that some motorcycles have linked brakes, so keep that in
mind when and if you apply the stoppers when you've got a
flat tire, since that can unintentionally add brake pressure to
both wheels.
Flat tires can be caused by a number factors, including wet
weather (which lubricates sharp objects, making them easier
to penetrate rubber), and high performance tires (which are
stickier than most, and tend to pick up more foreign objects.)
Keep in mind that many flats are caused by riding with low
tire pressure.
Always do conduct a tire inspection before each and every
ride. Doing so will ensure your ride is safe and you will return
home from yet another great adventure.

A number of years ago the MRF formed the Alcohol Awareness committee as an advisory committee to the Board of
Dirctors. The reason for this committess and the ongoing
work is due to the increasing awareness of government
agencies of the issue of impaired riding. Impaired riding has
been a n issue for many years but in the past decade it gained
prominence to the point it is a major part of any discussion
where motorcycle safety is the topic. the MRF board tasked
the committee to develop a program part of which will
present the MRF position in impaired riding. The following
position paper was presented to the Board at the September
2009 BOD meeting and with minor adjustments agreed upon
and approved.
Impaired Riding Position Paper
Impaired riding is increasingly becoming a serious problem
causing escalating attention in both the motorcycling community, and the various bureaucracies with oversight of motorcycling fatality statistics. As awareness of this issue increasees,
individuals and organizations alike must make decisions as to
how they will address the concerns of riding impaired.
Impaired riding occurs in a variety of conditions, the most
common and probably of most concern is alcohol. Drinking and riding is the most obvious and the most frequently
pointed to as a cause of concern. However, impaired riding is
also a condition that occurs under the influence of prescription drugs, illegal drugs, and over the counter drugs.
16
Impaired riding is sited a the cause of Fourty-one percent of the 2,182 motorcycle riders who died in singlevehicle crashes in 2007, they had BAC level of .08 or
greater, (NTSA).vMotorcyclists must face the fact that
this number is the one area where the fatalities are in our
direct control. If we want to bring about a reduction in
the number of impaired riding fatalities each uf us must
watch out for ourselves and those we ride with.
The Motorcycle Riders Foundation, MRF, has taken
the position that individual responsibility is the ultimate
way to reduce fatalities. We encourage organziataions
and riding groups to do what they can to take proactive
efforts promoting unimpaired riding. Through outreach
campaigns of the risks associated with riding impaired;
using education and awareness of the various ways one
can become impaired; and promoting and increasing
efforts to watch out for fellow riders, we can make a
difference and perhaps save a life and at the same time
reduce the fatality numbers.

MRF Meets with US DOT Secretary to Discuss MotorcycleOnly Roadside Checkpoints
Recently the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), along
with ABATE of Illinois, sat down with United States Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Ray LaHood to
discuss a few key motorcycle issues.
First and foremost is the issue of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) funding of mandatory
motorcycle-only roadside checkpoints. LaHood let his arsenal
of safety experts defend the checkpoints. It was revealed that
the only state to apply for the funds was Georgia. No other
states expressed any interest in the federal program.
There was a lively debate about the checkpoint issue, and we
eventually had to agree to disagree on the effectiveness, fairness, and resource worthiness of mandatory motorcycle-only
roadside checkpoints. As of now, NHTSA does not have any
plans for future funding of these checkpoints.
We also discussed the Department’s position on E-15 blended
fuel, they don’t have one.
Volume 37 Issue 6
to support the inclusion of the language that would prohibit
federal funding of motorcycle-only roadside checkpoints. Call
immediately. This will also be the key issue we lobby for next
week at Bikers Inside the Beltway.
By the time you read this report the MRF will have
hosted the 4th Annual Michael “Boz” Kerr Memorial
“Bikers Inside the Beltway” national lobby day. This is a
day in which Riders from across the country are encouraged to meet with the legislators from their state and
talk about legislation that effects motorcycles. The MRF
assists in support and scheduling. This is proving to be
very effective in building good working relationships in

LaHood is stepping down from the DOT Secretary role at
the end of the year.
Call to Action - Help End the Federal
Funding of the Motorcycle-Only Roadside Checkpoints
The US Congress has moved forward on the highway bill.
They recently named the Conferees that will negotiate the differences between the House and the Senate. This is a crucial
juncture for the legislation that would end the motorcycleonly roadside checkpoints. The language is in the HR 7, (the
House bill) but not in the US House passed bill, HR 4348 and
not in the Senate bill, S 1813. Its our goal to have the conference adopt the language into the final report.
The conference is sure to be lengthy as the two bills are wildly
different. The House bill, H.R. 4348, is a short-term extension of federal highway funds that includes a requirement to
approve the Keystone oil pipeline. The Senate bill, S. 1813, is
a two-year, $109 billion extension.
Here is where you come in. Below is the list of every member of the Highway bill conference committee. If one or
more of them are your elected officials. call them ask them

THE JACK DANIEL’S EXPERIENCE
& ABATE FUND RAISER
HUGE SUCCESS!!
What an honor to partner with the great companies of
Brown Forman, Jack Daniel’s, RNDC and Captain Jacks
to bring awareness to always Socialize Liberally and Drink
Responsibly and raise funds for ABATE of ND.
Miss Lynne Tolley, great-grand niece to Jack Daniel’s,
accomplished cook and author, proprietress to Miss
Mary BoBo’s and a Master Taster at the Jack Daniel’s
distillery was our guest of honor. A true Southern
Bell, Miss Tolley delivered a very informative talk on
the history of Jack Daniel’s, their dedication to making the finest whisky and teaching responsibility.
The staff of the Ramkota were outstanding as usual.
From staging to servers to the delicious meal they
made sure our every need was taken care off.
Thank you to all of our donors that contributed to the
silent and live auctions, with your donations, AND the
generous bids by those in attendance raised just over
$13,000 for ABATE of North Dakota.
The Jack Daniel’s girls were as beautiful and personable as the fine crafted whiskey they were sampling.
When you see people laughing with friends, enjoying
a great meal, and raising awareness and money for a
good cause, you know you have a successful event.
Thank you to Lonnie Bertsch for these great photos!

Incumbents announce their intent to run for the
ABATE of North Dakota Board of Directors.
Each year at our ABATE State Rally we elect or re-elect the Board of
Directors. We have 10 spots available. The president and vice-president
are serving a two year term.
All members that are current and in good standing with our organization are eligibale to run for the Board of Directors.
The perfect candidate would have the following attributes: Have a willingness to help our ABATE grow. Be able to attend and
take an active role in our monthly meetings and ABATE events. Have a strong desire to serve our membership. Be willing to
provide your individual strengths to help our organization prosper.
Hello ABATE members,
It has been a privilege to serve on your Board of Directors these past few years. For those of you who don’t know me,
I have been an ABATE member for 23 years now and have been a licensed rider for 33 years. I joined this organization
because ABATE of ND was there to defend our rights and educate riders. That is still just as true today as it was then.
ABATE’s training programs are second to none. Thank you to our excellent instructors. We are entering a time of growth.
New opportunities are on the horizon. The future looks bright for ABATE. With your support, I would like to serve another
term on your Board of Directors.
Thank You,
Tom Birkholz

Hello ABATE members and soon to be ABATE members. My name is jBIRD Toepke. I am currently serving as a member of
the board of directors. We have accomplished a lot in the past few years and I would like to continue serving on the board and
help guide our Organization to educate ALL motorists and promote, protect and preserve motorcycling and motorcycle rights
in our state and our nation.
Please vote for JBIRD. Thank you, WAVE, Wave, wave
Hello all,
This is Coop. I just wanted to let you know that I would like to run for the Board of Directors again. I have really enjoyed my
time on the board so far, and I feel that I do bring some knowledge and skills to the board. I also know that I am one of the
youngest on the board, and we as an organization need to try to keep going after the younger people to get them active with
ABATE. I have also been teaching the motorcycle saftey course for ABATE for 6 years now, and plan to continue with that
until I can’t do it anymore. So please vote for me at the State Rally.
Mike “Coop” Cooper
Hi ABATE members my name is Randy Love. I have been on the board for two years and would like to run again this year.

grow, thanks for the support in the past and look forward to the future serving you.
Randy Love
Hello everyone, I have been an ABATE member for 30 years and have been on the board for 20+ years. I believe
in what ABATE is doing towards eduction and if elected will continue to serve and work as and where needed.

Hello Fellow ABATE Members,
I am Kim Brandner and I am currently on your board of directors and also serve you as the District 10 Representative for a few years. I would love to serve you for another term on the Board. I am married to my bride Threna and
I have 2 daughters (Mikaela 20 and Hannah 13) from my previous marriage. I have been riding scoots since I was a
little kid and I live the lifestyle. I am a founding member of American Breed MC. I currently ride a 2005 HD
Ultra Classic with a trike kit due to some health issues and am looking forward to getting better and back on 2
wheels. I work as a financial advisor for New York Life and Brandner Financial Services and live in Mandan.
I would appreciate your vote for another term on your ABATE of ND Board of Directors at our State Rally at
