Borrowed Freedom

  • Most riders never think about the people who secured the freedoms they enjoy.

    • The rider who challenged profiling legislation.
    • The advocate who spent days and weeks attending legislative hearings.
    • The volunteer who testified before a committee.
    • The SMRO leaders who built organizations capable of fighting back.

    Yet every rider benefits from their work.

    The freedoms we enjoy today were not guaranteed -- they were earned.

    And every generation of riders inherits those freedoms from the generation that came before.

    The question is whether we intend to pass them on.

    Or simply consume them.

    Meeting of the Minds is where riders come together to ensure that motorcycling's future is stronger than its present.

    Not because someone else will do it.

    Because someone must.

    Meeting of the Minds - September 24-27, 2026 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

    What we inherited, we must protect.
