Idaho (ICMS) Awarded at Meeting of the Minds

by Lane Triplett
Over the weekend of September 23-26, your Idaho Coalition for Motorcycle Safety board members Chuc Coulter, Brooke Hanson,
Lane Triplett, and Secretary Kim Young attended the Motorcycle Riders Foundation “Meeting of the Minds” conference in Peoria, IL. Other
Idahoans attending included Dave Cazel from ABATE of North Idaho (State MRF Rep.), Wayne Wierson (MRF Member Rep to the board),
and Jeremiah Parent (Idaho’s second Young Activist Scholarship winner).
Idahoans took part in political strategy sessions, presentations on the “Defender’s Program”, Rider’s Education, constitutional
rights during a traffic stop, and others. Wayne gave his “Share the Road” presentation. Jeremiah was grilled by the attendees as a part of
the “Young Activist” panel. He did a great job and represented Idaho well.
A highlight of the conference was Slider Gilmore’s presentation of his new project called “Blue Haired Ladies, Road Alligators and
Tar Snakes; What Every Street Smart Rider Should Know”. This was a fabulous presentation about all of the things we face on the road every
time we venture out. We need to take care of all the things we can control and be prepared for the things that we can’t.
After a break in Slider’s presentation, MRF vice-president Jay Jackson awarded the ICMS and Idaho the “Ron Shepard Safety
Award”. This award was given in recognition for our efforts to improve the safety of the motorcyclists of Idaho. In the last couple of years we
have completed a video about motorcycling for the use of youth driver training, worked with our partners to get the motorist awareness
message out through the use of billboards and digital reader boards, the post card campaign, awareness rallies, right straight campaigns,
and much other work. At the banquet the ICMS was also given an award for our support of MRF board member, Chuc Coulter.
These national awards and a “Young Activist Scholarship”, given to a relatively small SMRO is a testament to the dedication and
hard work done by the motorcyclists of Idaho.

You spoke, the ICMS listened! The questions on the candidate

survey were created from ICMS member concerns. The ICMS
serves you, representing the collective voices of motorcyclists in
the entire state of Idaho. Since 1985 ICMS has served as your
legislative liaison and watchdog by protecting your rights to ride
free in Idaho.

IT’S YOUR FREEDOM AT STAKE
In order to help bikers be more informed, the Idaho Coalition for Motorcycle Safety circulated a questionnaire to those who would seek to represent you in
government. Read over the questions that relate to bikers to find out more about these candidates for office.
It’s true that many of the responses are more than a bit guarded, but many of them do disclose where they may be coming from. Commitment may have
been more enlightening, but these also tell us who those are that may need some educating on our issues.
ABATE of North Idaho also did a similar survey of those candidates in the northern part of the state, Districts 1 through 8.
Read those results on P 9

**********************
Studies continue to show how cell phone use and texting while driving is similar to DUI and yet drivers continue to drive distracted.
Question 1: Would you support making hand held cell phone use and texting while driving unlawful?

Question 2: In the alternative, would you support making texting while driving unlawful?

Idaho continues to experience motor vehicle accidents or crashes as a result of violations of rights of way. Some drivers seem to be unaware
of rules of the road, i.e. rights of way, or choose to ignore them. Some seem to do this almost with impunity. Some street and highway users
are more vulnerable and at risk than others, such as pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists.
Question 3: Would you support a bill making the violations of right of way of vulnerable users unlawful, and to include liability
and sanctions to include remedial driver education?

In the past, it appears that most legislators have felt that the majority of their constituents do not favor a mandatory motorcycle helmet law
covering all motorcyclists in Idaho.
Question 4: Would you support a mandatory motorcycle helmet law in Idaho covering all motorcyclists?

Motorists are at risk from vehicles hauling loads and spilling some of their load. The risk is even greater for some highway users, such as
bicyclists and motorcyclists.
Question 5: Would you support a bill requiring that all loads be covered to prevent spilling?

Question 6: In the alternative, would you support such a bill that requires loads to be covered to prevent spilling but excludes
forest products and/or agriculture?

 A Texan’s Appreciation for Idaho Hospitality
Reprint from a run report submitted to The Warrior
While on the road late this summer, I had the honor and pleasure of experiencing the Friendship Run in the biker friendly town of
Orofino, Idaho. The townsfolk there are down home good-as-gold and really treat you like family. The run was sponsored by Idaho’s three
bikers’ rights organizations. They are: ABATE of Idaho, the Idaho Coalition for Motorcycle Safety (ICMS), and the ABATE of North Idaho. It’s
impressive how those three fine organizations put together that run year after year and work with each other to keep Idaho free. Idaho’s
kind of like Texas: it’s a big state and they’re hundreds of miles away from each other. ABATE of Idaho is largely around Pocatello and the
southeast, ABATE of North Idaho is several chapters in the northern panhandle, and ICMS has members throughout the state, organizing all
the political and judicial actions in their capital (Boise) that have kept Idaho free for more than 20 years.
At the Friendship Run, there were bike games, food donated and prepared by ABATE of Nothern Idaho members, vendors, a poker walk
one day and a poker run the next, karaoke Friday nite, door prizes, dancing with a live concert by Road Houz on Saturday night, outstanding
CMA services by Pastor Ernie too early Sunday morning, a motorcycle parade and visit to the local senior citizens home.
My righteous bros and sisters in Idaho remind me of bikers in Texas and other places I lived. ABATE of Idaho and ABATE of North Idaho are
just like the ABATE Confederation of Texas and the US Defenders combined, always ready to fight for bikers’ rights. And ICMS is like TMRA,
TMRA2, BOLT and MMA all rolled up into one, leading the fight for our biker rights. The Republic of Texas salutes the three fine organizations
of bikers in Idaho, keeping it free and real.

There is Freedom in the Wind.
