his afternoon, Missouri Governor, Mike Parson,

signed legislation that would modify the current helmet law in the “Show Me State.”

Freedom of Road Riders Legislative Coordinator Amy Allmon said, “Persistence actually pays off”. On Tuesday July 14th at 1:30pm Missouri Governor, Mike Parson, signed our helmet modification bill. Freedom of choice in Missouri!” The new law, which will go into effect August 28, 2020, allows motorcyclists to ride without helmets if they are 26 years of age or older and have medical insurance. When asked for a reaction, MRF Chairman of the board, Kirk “Hardtail” Willard had this to say, “The Motorcycle Riders Foundation celebrates today with the bikers of Missouri on their victory of freedom of choice. It’s incredible to realize the State Motorcyclist Rights Organizations have spent nearly four decades pursuing their freedom. Given today’s political environment this is truly rarified air. Ride Free Missouri.”

Congratulations to the Freedom of Road Riders, ABATE for Missouri and all those who never quit in the fight to let those who ride, decide!

Editor’s Note: Congrats ABATE of Missouri and Freedom of the Road Riders. Allowing motorcyclists the right to choose what safety equipment they use while riding is legislation NC CBA/ABATE has been working towards for a long time. It is a right thoroughly enjoyed and preserved by South Carolina riders. This right to choose in no way disparages the helmet. Join your local motorcyclist rights organization, and help in the fight to restore this right in NC.

n July 5th, the

folks from Joker Powersports

were out at Shadyside Dragway for the Harley Drag races and sponsored a fish fry fundraiser to help out with funeral expenses for Tim (Smitty) Smith, who had just recently passed away after having a heart attack. There was around $1000 raised that day. Along with the $800 raised at the Joker Powersports 2nd Annual Anniversary Party, that came up to $1800 raised to help out Smitty’s wife, Cindi (Chicken Wing) Smith pay for some of their expenses.

I know it’s hard to lose a loved one, but it brings some comfort knowing people care. My prayers go out for Cindi and the rest of his family during this time. Thanks to those who gave. Y’all ride safe out there and remember don’t hold a grudge and hold your loved ones close. Let them know you love them because there may not be a tomorrow.

God Bless ;)
