STATE COORDINATOR’S REPORT - JIGGS CRESSY
Every month before I write my
column, I go back and look at
what I wrote the same month in
years past. I found this part from
one in 2011.
I just got back from the annual
Motorcycle Riders Foundations
(MRF) conference, Meeting of the
Minds, in Detroit MI. It was a
great conference. I learned a lot,
touched base with old friends,
met some new ones, but most of
all I recharged my motorcycle
rights battery.
You heard me right. I, like most
of
you
have
an
internal
motorcycle rights battery. And it
gets run down from time to time.
The daily grind of everyday stuff
(emails, phone calls, writing
columns, attending meetings, and
hammering out details of the next
upcoming event) takes their toll
and drains the battery. And, the
best way I have found to recharge
my battery is to hang around with
other
people
who
are
as
passionate
about
motorcycle
rights as me.
There is nothing better for my
soul than to sit in a room with a
couple hundred bikers who feel
the same way about a particular
subject as I do. To listen to them
discuss the same issues, to listen
to them talk about their solutions
to those same problem and to
soak up their knowledge, and to
share a little bit of yours is a
great charging for my motorcycle
rights battery.
get your room reserved.

How is your JOY?
By CMA National President
John Ogden Sr.
“As the Father hath loved me, so
have I loved you: continue ye in my
love. If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in my love; even as I
have
kept
my
Father's
commandments, and abide in his
love. These things have I spoken unto
you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full” (John
15:9-11, KJV).
As we meet people from all walks of
life and all nationalities, there is a key
ingredient that we all look for -- joy.
Jesus shares this thought in these
Scriptures. The condition of true joy is
contained in our relationship with
Jesus Christ. He encourages us to
continue in His love and to abide in
that love.
within us. Allowing Christ to take
residence in our heart and the abiding
faith to always look to Him will bring
this joy. Joy is not an outside job;
but, an inside job. As you walk
through the struggles of life, I would
like to remind you and encourage you
to always allow the Prince of Peace to
reign in your life and you in Him,
which produces supernatural joy.
As we go through life, we struggle
with the things of this world. There
are days when we feel good about our
relationships and the things we have
accomplished, and there are days
when we don’t feel so good. The
condition of the joy of Christ is one Ride safe and ride often.
where we continue to abide in Him.
In His service,
This relationship is not based on good
or bad days; it is based on a Auggie and Sunshine
commitment to follow Him on the
good days as well as the bad days.
We know we can have peace in the
midst of a storm. Our joy is not based
on the circumstances around us;
rather, on the condition of our heart

Newsletter Editor’s Report: Invoices for some

this point. The newsletter is looking great. The

Committee Reports:
Promotions committee: We have not done much
with this committee yet, but Jiggs did start a new
way of communication with members. It is called
Remind101, which allows him to send as a mass
text. This is a great fast way to get information out.
MRF Rep. Report: John Steele is not present
today, but Jiggs shared some information. The
transportation bill’s latest extension expires this
month. The Senate passed a 6 year bill but only
provided funding for 3 years, so the House killed
the bill. The House passed their version of the bill,
and it does not include everything that the MRF
wants. It does stop motorcycle only checkpoints,
but also requires a study on motorcycle accidents,
but does not deal with Ethanol. At this point, we do
not know what will happen. With the only funding
coming for this bill from gas taxes, and more
energy efficient cars, the cost for these is going to
move to the state level. The NTSA lobby ban is in
both bills.
Secretary’s Report: Thank you to Susan for taking

m om ent I am get t ing hungry j ust t hinking about how good
it t ast ed. They are m ade in a sm all t aco shop & t hat is
probably one t he few places you can get t hem . You don’t
see a lot of m ot orcycles on t he freew ays. I have visit ed
wit h bikers from t he San Diego ar ea & t hey really don’t
put on any m ore m iles t han we do ev en t hough t hey can
ride all year around.
I will continue t he st ory on our t rip in t he Decem ber
Freedom Flyer. As it is Oct ober we have had som e great
riding t he last few days as t he t em per at ure has been in
t he 80’s. Today ( Oct . 11 t h ) at about 4: 00 I could see a
dark cloud of dust com ing t owards Huron. The wind speed
went from alm ost not hing t o 50m ph in j ust a few seconds.
Everyt hing t hat wasn’t t ied down w as m oving across t he
st reet s. When Nor m a & I were get t ing close t o hom e we
could sm ell what seem ed t o be wood burning. I lat er found
out t hat a lot of fires were burning & som e caused by
com bines t hat st art ed on fire. They said t hat alm ost all t he
fire engines bet ween Pierre & Huron wer e on t he m ove.
The harvest of corn is now in full swing & pheasant
hunt ing st art s next w eek end. Ther e will be a lot of
m ovem ent on t he count ry r oads so I hope everyone will be
driving carefully & give t hose farm m achines a lot of r oom .
Wit hout t he far m ers we would all get pret t y hungry. Have
a great fall & enj oy t he all t he great colors t he good Lord

5) I have neglect ed m y house & propert y

Mort gage Co happy so I eit her need t o

Even m ore work hrs needed, or a v ery
