Yep. And if you join with automatic renewal, "champion" membership, you get free roadside assistance. I did the math, it was a better deal than getting thru AAA or other insurance.
--As Mr. Curtis Graves said recently, "Join the AMA." Since he's an attorney, we should do what he says.
By the way, former U.S. Senator Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) is the AMA's chief lobbyist.
I've never heard of motorcycle-only checkpoints being used in Colorado, but I oppose them in the other states, where we may someday be riding.

Subject: AMA Action Alert: Help End Federally Funded Motorcycle-only Checkpoints
Help End Federally Funded Motorcycle-only Checkpoints
Do you want your hard-earned tax dollars going to fund motorcycle-only checkpoints? If you answered no, you need to sign the American Motorcyclist Association's petition to end MOCs today!
The AMA opposes the checkpoints because they are unfair, costly and ineffective.
Join thousands of fellow riders in sending a message that MOCs must end! Follow this link: Sign the petition!, fill out the form at the bottom of the page and click the red "sign petition" button.
In addition to the privilege of being singled out and directed to a discriminatory checkpoint, you also have the pleasure of knowing that your hard-earned tax dollars are allowing this to occur!
Over $500,000 of funds dedicated to highway safety have been spent on motorcycle-only checkpoints – with more to come.
This money could have paid the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course fee for 10,000 potential motorcyclists, been used to combat distracted driving or been invested – with federal matching dollars – in the current comprehensive study to analyze the root causes of motorcycle crashes.
Instead, the money was wasted on frivolous, discriminatory MOCs.
Fed up? You can do something about it.
Help the motorcycling community fight these discriminatory checkpoints by signing the petition today!
To learn more about the fight to end MOCs please visit the American Motorcyclist Association's page here.
If you are not yet an AMA member, please join the AMA to help us fight MOCs. More members means more clout against our opponents, and your support will help us fight for your riding rights – on the road, trail, racetrack, and in the halls of government. To join, go to AmericanMotorcyclist.com/membership/join.
Please support legislation that ends federal funding for discriminatory, costly and ineffective motorcycle-only checkpoints.
