The 2024 Motorcycle Riders Foundation Roadshow got off to an early start this month as President Kirk “Hardtail” Willard met with ABATE of Florida. Hardtail shared the MRF legislative agenda including our work on Right to Repair, Autonomous Vehicles and Preservation of the Internal Combustion Engine. As part of the meeting, ABATE of Florida selected a new MRF Florida State Representative!
Expanding the MRF’s reach into Florida is critical to advancing our goals in Washington, D.C. The population of Florida has earned it twenty-eight (28) members in the U.S. House of Representatives, the third highest representation of any state. It also boasts over 600,000 registered motorcycles, ranking it third in the nation on that list as well.
Beyond its size, Florida has become a critical state in several political battles in this country. The willingness of Florida's bikers to support the efforts of the MRF is a huge political win for all bikers. Thank you to ABATE of Florida for allowing the MRF to share the issues we are actively addressing. We anticipate building a strong and growing relationship.
While Florida was the kickoff of the upcoming roadshow, it will not stop there. MRF Board Member calendars are already filling up with events for the start of 2024. Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wisconsin are just a few places where you will see the MRF popping up. In the words of Willie Nelson, “On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again!”
