CHECK YOUR CARDS FOR YOUR RENEW DATE. 2 March 2013 “Let’s Ride Together” A message from our President... Greetings fellow ABATE members, I have heard some grumblings about how ABATE is a bunch of hypocrites because we promote safety but oppose helmet laws. I would like to take this time to clarify this point. Volume 39 Issue 3 Now comes the sticky part because that is all most people look at. We at ABATE are also Freedom Fighters in that we will fight tooth and nail to defend our right to choose. This not only includes the right to chose whether or not to wear a helmet but also have fought for the right to repair bill, loud exhaust and all things relating to motorcycle freedoms that we hold so dear. One most resent fights we have committed to is the Fight for safer highways by requesting Bee Apiaries be placed 660 from the center line of highways. This was the House Bill 1343. At this time, the Bill has been defeated. But that does not mean the bikers of ND are! Abate of ND promotes motorcycle safety, awareness and freedoms. Our stance on helmet issues have always been “educate don’t legislate”. This means we would rather support teaching safe riding skills which does include safe riding attire. But all the safety gear in the world won’t help if the rider doesn’t know how to ride safely. Besides just teaching safer riding skills we also try to educate the public to be aware of motorcycles. Being as how a motorcycle is smaller than a car and doesn’t have any protection in a crash we are at risk of being hit by unaware motorists. We will continue to collect data and reposition our request and continue our mission. Abate has also been criticized for partnering with alcohol distributors. This is a grave misunderstanding. Yes, ABATE does partner with alcohol distributors but we do it to promote the idea of responsible riding. Our State Rally is a camp out weekend where people can enjoy whatever beverage they choose and do it safely on the grounds without being on their motorcycle. It’s a camping event. If and when a ride is held with a bar stop included we make it a point to promote responsible riding. Bars are just as happy to sell water and soda plus they also will put out food and snacks. Freedom to chose is an individual right. JUST ARRIVED!!! 2003 Harley-Davidson Black Night Train 6,540 miles for $11,900.00 I hope this will clarify the subject for some people and if you as a member hear this sort of grumbling you will be able to educate them as to what ABATE truly stands for. 2007 Custom Chopper $11,750 Next I would like to thank the District Reps who came to the retreat weekend. We the BOD tried to give you some informative topics that we hope will help you in your endeavors as a State Rep. Please remember that if you have questions or need help with anything please contact us. 2007 Yamaha Midnight Venture $11,200 2006 H-D Street Bob $10,000 And last but not least please remember to support your local bike shows and district events. These are more than just a good time, the monies raised at these events are used to support many various charities across the state. What we don’t have today - we could have tomorrow! 2012 Honda Shadow 750 $7,500 2004 Electra Glide H-D w/ Lehman Trike ... $24,000 1999 H-D Softail Custom $7,800 ALWAYS GREAT Service ice ce and GREAT Parts Department tment 218-695-2082 200 Main Street, Oslo, MN streetisneatinc.com i So in review ABATE of ND supports.....

Main Street Mandan 4 March 2013 “Let’s Ride Together” Greetings fellow ABATE members Registrations for the North Dakota Motorcycle Safety Program will be available February 15th online @ www. ndmsp.com. Early classes will be available for the Experienced Riders Course “ERC” also for the Basic Rider Course “BRC” I would recommend signing up early as the office has received a lot of inquiries on classes. Remember CURRENT Abate members will receive a 50% discount for taking either class. This offer is only available for members that are current before registering for either class. Managing risk on a more modern approach is to acknowledge that it’s better to have adequate skills with excellent judgment and self-control than to have excellent skills and questionable judgment in managing risk. It is best of course, for a rider to possess excellent skills and excellent judgment. All of the NDMSP classes will help you fine tune your skills and judgments. We now have two Rider Coach Trainers which will allow us more time to travel to our other sites and work with all of your dedicated Rider Coaches from around the state. The North Dakota Motorcycle Safety Pro- Volume 39 Issue 3 gram will be hosting a Rider Coach Update at our State Office the third weekend in May. We will be conducting a Professional Development Workshop along with updated curriculum for the program. I’m proud to say we have some of the most dedicated and professional Rider Coaches in the country working for us and it is indeed a pleasure being associated with them. In closing I would like to thank you the members that constantly promote the North Dakota Motorcycle Safety Program and that our pledge to you is to continue and always strengthen our commitment to the education of the North Dakota motorcyclist.

I felt the speakers were great, from 2 EMT’S we got some great information on what to do at an accident scene, to learning from a lawyer about your rights in a traffic stop, to updates on what is going on in our state legislature and also what is happening at the federal level. Also there was plenty of food, fun and fellowship. The motorcycle safety classes should be up on the website by the time you all read this so if you know of anybody looking to sign up for one the sooner the better as classes do fill up fast especially at the beginning of the riding season. It is also a good time to ask new riders if they are interested in joining ABATE and explaining to them what our organization does and the benefits of belonging. The bike show season is starting and the Spirit Lake Riders show is the first show. Lance and I will have the booth set up so stop by and renew your membership and encourage your friends to join. One important point of belonging is it is our voice that can make a difference in getting new laws passed that we are in favor of. One is House Bill #1343 which pertains to the placement of bee hives along paved highways. If this law does get passed as initially written, bee hives could be placed no closer than 660 yards from the center line of a paved roadway. Anyone who has gotten stung while riding past hives can I am sure relate to the nuisance the bees cause and even while driving past with a vehicle how 20 or more bees can suddenly make a big mess on your windshield and obscure your view. I had talked with David Monson, about this issue last summer and he is one of the legislators who drew this bill up. So never think that if you talk to the right person your voice will not be heard. Well until next month which will definitely be getting close to riding season take care and try to attend your local ABATE socials being as we don’t like to go to meetings.

Here we are in February, cabin feverr month; well I don’t think so. There are events going on somewhere. Take February k F b 22nd, d it was the ABATE Annual BOD and District Rep Retreat at the State Office. Sorry I missed it. Always a good time to meet your friends, new and old. Also, on February 2nd was the Annual Polar Pig Splash and District #8 ABATE Chili Cook-off with 17 different chilies which collected about $735 and the Splash about $19,000 for Jamestown Regional Medical Center Hospice Program. This has been going on for 7 years. 16 people took the plank walk and then into the water in the snowy 13 degrees temp. Had a very good turn-out. Well so much for that. In this District #8, the Jamestown Bike Show is on March 9th and 10th at Quality Inn put on by Individuals and Iron Stallion. Will also have ABATE booth set up. Remember to pay your dues, sign up new members, attend events in your District and other Districts, because they may attend yours. Ok, wear Red on Fridays, support ABATE sponsors, clubs, members. Drive and don’t text or drink. The life you save may be your own. Larry & Nancy working the ABATE Chili Cook-off Contest. We had a great turn-out at the Polar Pig Plunge held Feb 2nd at Stutsman H/D. the paper said $19,000 was raised for Jamestown Hospice. Great Job!! ABATE also had a Chili Cook-off Contest that day too. Every dollar made went to Jamestown Hospice. This year we had 18 entries. For $5 you sampled all of them, and People’s Choice determined the winner. In 2 hours we raised $740! That is the largest amount to date. In the past 7 years donating to Jamestown Hospice, Abate has given $3,771! Outstanding! God Bless America and our troops. Al Martell District 9 Greetings Abate land, Well here it is, almost spring I hope. Do you have your scoot ready for the bike show? Tis the season beforee the breezin. Just come out like that, just happens. The Jamestown Annual Bike Show is March 9th & 10th @ Quality Inn. We will have an ABATE booth there so you can become a member or renew your membership. Also, you people that are wanting to take the rider classes, get on the ABATE website (www.abatend.com) or the www.ndmsp.com now and sign-up. It will fill up fast. The Rider Coaches will be here a week to 10 days in July probably so get on the schedule. If you have problems or you want to become a Rider Coach, call the office, or let me know. naw, scratch that, just call the office. 10 Laurie, George & Penny Holland, Hospice Coordinator, after check presentation. Thank you to all that have donated. Hospice is a great program, priceless service, and pray we don’t need it. The winners of the Chili Contest were: 1st place - Allan Sabinash w/19 votes (2nd yr in a row) must be some good stuff, and 2nd place - Laurie Hayes w/14 votes. Both received a plaque to hang on the wall and rub our noses in for a long long time. Personal note, It was Not a CHILI FEED, not a buffet, no free stuff. If you didn’t get enough to eat, go get a McDonalds, that’s not what it’s about. It’s Everyone giving a little to help many and having fun in the process. Almost all people understand the concept but a few never will. Hoping to do better next year, It’s a great cause. March 2013 “Let’s Ride Together” Like the old saying goes, I’m Short!! It’s time for someone else to pick-up this pen. It has been 18 great years, 2 of those were also on the BOD. Abate is a great family and like a family sometimes you need to leave the nest, take a quieter, less traveled path. Never gone, beside and I’m sure our trails will cross from time to time. ABATE needs new blood to grow, out with the old, in with the new ideas. It’s time to let Terber be teachers pet!! :) My path now will be focused on the NDPG. In 2014 we will hold the ND Patriot Guard Memorial and Honor run here at the Jamestown Civic Center. Dickinson has been a very good location, but now with the oil field traffic and room prices being so high, (if you can get them,) we are going to move it to Jamestown.

George Quigley bugspitt1@hotmail.com Volume 39 Issue 3 District 9 Burleigh, Emmons, McLean, Sheridan Hello fellow ABATE members. PLEASE NOTE: Our next get together - March 19th 7:00 PM at The Colonial in Mandan. According to Punxsutawney Phil, the King of the Groundhogs we will be having an early spring. With that in mind it is time to start planning your ol’ scoot’s escape from storage. You know, the usual – fresh gas if you didn’t add fuel stabilizer last fall, charge the battery, check the lights, check all of the controls function correctly and make sure they aren’t froze up, make sure the tires are up to snuff and change the air in your tires from storage air to riding air. If you need help with the last one I am sure your local tire shop would be glad to do it for you, just ask them. If you really want to get ready for riding you can spit shine your bike and put it in one or two of the many upcoming bike shows. I would like to send out a thank you to some people. To Sid and Amy Jo for having me on MOJO 107.5 to do a plug for the ABATE District 9/10 Tips & Balls Tournament and Chili contest. I did better than I thought I would. Also, Thank you to the crew at the ABATE office for putting on an excellent District Rep –BOD seminar. It was very informative. Coming up in May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The ABATE along with NSC offers these tips for motorists and motorcyclists: Motorists: • Allow greater following distance behind a motorcycle. • Be extra cautious in intersections. Most crashes occur when a motorist fails to see a motorcyclist and turns left in front of a motorcycle. • Give a motorcycle the full lane width – never try to share a lane. Dang! That endorsment is gonna cost me! Big Time! 667-2033 www.scooter-shak.com 2014 Memorial Hwy - Mandan This is Nate, my driver, my mechanic and my buddy! Motorcyclists: Got a problem with yer scoot, give Nate a call! • Use turn signals for every turn or lane change. Tell him his little buddy Braxton sent cha’! • Avoid riding in poor weather conditions. • Position motorcycle in lane where you will be out of a motorist’s blind spot.

Thanks to the Killdeer crew for making it down to the meeting! We had a good discussion on some upcoming events and rides. Decided to hold a benefit fun run for the North Dakota Injured Military Wild Life Project (similiar to Project Wounded Warrior) on May 18th, 2013. Discussed the upcoming ride season and the group decided to hold a monthly ride beginning in June through September and possibly October. Monthly rides are scheduled for June 23th, July 21st, August 18th, and September 15th. We also picked a date for our annual picnic at Turtle Park and that is scheduled for September 22nd. Each monthly ride will depart from Frankies at 10:00 am so mark these rides on your calendars! Discussion was held concerning weekly rides as well. It was decided that weekly rides will be held for those that are interested every Sunday (starting May 26th) departing from Simonsons on Villard Street at 1:00 pm. Will keep everyone posted about the rides as the season gets closer. Can’t wait to get on the road again and it seems like spring is taking forever to get here. I know it won’t be much longer until we hit the road again so now is the time to start checking your bike out and make sure it is road worthy. Our next meeting is scheduled for March 8th at 7:00 pm at TATU BBQ. Hope to see everyone there! Jerry/Bugutz jmayer09@hotmail.com wojahnmachine@ndsupernet.com Check out the ABATE Challenge Coins!

United States Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS), and David Vitter (R-LA), have introduced legislation that would invalidate the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from approving introduction into commerce gasoline which contains greater than 10-volume-percent ethanol. The EPA admits it did not test the 15% ethanol blends on motorcycles or small displacement engines. The Motorcycle Industry Council has gone on record saying that the higher blend will be damaging to motorcycle engines. In November 2012, AAA urged the Obama administration to halt the sale of E15 because of possible engine damage. AAA said it found in a survey a strong likelihood of consumer confusion and the potential for voided warranties and vehicle damage. Senator Vitter had this to say “It is irresponsible for EPA to allow E15 without sufficient testing and technical analysis.

Washington DC is back at work and the Motorcycle Riders Foundation is no exception. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation reports; Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the lone Republican in President Barack Obama’s Cabinet, is leaving the administration. Two separate lobby trips have been made on behalf of ABATE and the MRF. ABATE of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have both made visits to the nation’s capitol so far this year. Many others have their trips booked for the busy winter and spring lobby season. The departure of LaHood is the latest of several changes in Obama’s administration since the President won re-election in November. Secretary of State, Treasury, Defense, Interior and Labor have all been recently vacated. Possible LaHood replacements include Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Jim Oberstar, a former Democratic Congressman from Minnesota and chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. LaHood, 67, was named Transportation Secretary in January 2009. Before that, he served seven terms in the U.S. House as a representative from Illinois. The MRF has always enjoyed a healthy, positive, working relationship with Mr. LaHood both during his term in the House and now as he served the White House. The main issues of concern to the MRF before Congress are, ending the motorcycle only roadside checkpoints the use of high ethanol blended fuels that have been approved for use by the public but have not been tested on motorcycles. Also on the radar is stopping outside agencies from wandering into motorcycle safety as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have recently done. The MRF also had a solid presence at ABATE of Pennsylvania’s Leadership and Legislation seminar this year. MRF President, Kirk “Hardtail” Willard stole the show at the opening evening’s panel discussion which was aired on Pennsylvania public access. If you have not started planning your lobby trip to DC and need help doing so please contact the MRF DC office staff for assistance.

Advocates was founded in 1989 by the heads of a number of major property and casualty insurance companies and several prominent consumer and safety leaders. The group has goals for highway safety laws needed in each state. When it comes to motorcycle laws it is predictably an all-rider helmet law for every state. ND is grouped with 30 other states and received a “yellow” rating described as moderately positive performance. Please join and support the MRF.

This year’s Convention is expected to be our biggest and best ever, and will feature seminars and presentations by such well known speakers as former South Dakota State Representative Jim Putnam Some of the seminars and presentations will cover such topics as anti-profiling bill, Veterans Affairs’, your rights as a Veteran, Women in Motorcycling, World of Sport Bikes, and many more Due to the enormous interest being generated in this year’s NCOM Convention, we encourage you to PRE-REGISTER your organization’s representatives for the Convention and Awards Banquet to ensure space availability, and save time upon arrival. We at the NCOM would also like to request each motorcycle group attending to bring an item to be auctioned at the Silver Spoke Awards Banquet to benefit the Freedom Fund.

The auction will be held after the Silver Spoke Awards Banquet on Saturday evening. You can either turn in your auction item(s) at the time you register for the Convention, or bring it with you to the banquet. Your generous contribution will be duly noted, and we thank you in advance for your support!
