Promote voter registration and to motivate members to speak up for their rights. Promote safety without infringing on individual rights and freedoms. Educate the public and Motorcycle Awareness and safety Issues.

ABATE’s Accomplishments:

ABATE was the driving force behind the changes in Florida’s Helmet Law. Florida Motorcyclist, over the age of 21 and who carry at least $10,000 medical insurance coverage now enjoy the Freedom to Choose whether to wear a helmet or not.

ABATE has developed & copyrighted “The Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Program” (MSAP). The program is presented to non-motorcyclists to educate them on how to safely share the road with motorcycles. It is taught in local schools & to civic organizations at no charge in the hope of reducing motorcycle accidents and deaths through education, not legislation.

ABATE had gained a positive and respected position in Tallahassee. Because of our Lobbyist and Legislative efforts, State Representatives are aware of ABATE members and our vigilant quest.

Hey Y’all and hope all is well, with plenty of wind therapy in this beautiful riding weather we’ve been

having! Got a few things this month. First, our 2nd Annual Chapter gun give away. With 2 guns in the

drawing, some lucky person will win a Smith & Wesson AR15, or a Ruger LCP II .380 Semi. There will

be 2 names drawn on May 12th, during our Skills on Wheels Motorcycle Rodeo. You need not be present

to win, as we will call the winners phone number upon drawing their name. All you need to do to win is

donate $10.00 for a ticket and chance to win one of these guns. All Chapter members, please get the

donations for the drawing tickets that you have, in at the next Chapter meeting April 15 at Boondocks.

Then get some more tickets to sell by May 12. Speaking of the Rodeo, this years is shaping up to be our

best yet (providing Mother Nature co-operates). Once again, we need all members to get the word out

(social media, Facebook, etc). Our Webmaster has it going on various sites (thanks Steve), and we also

have flyers to give out to bikers you know, and businesses that cater to motorcycles & bikers. We will

have plenty of flyers at the April meeting, and if you want more before then (along with more gun tickets

to sell), call me at 863-559-9550.

April means ABATE Elections process begins. At the next 3 Chapter meetings, we will do the following:

April – nominations for all Offices. May – those nominated will accept or decline. June – voting for those who accepted. More

discussion on this process at the next meeting before the Nominations.

Also, we had a great time March 24 at Harley Davidson of Lakeland grilling ‘dogs & burgers. Thanks to Roadmap & Crazy Rick for

manning the grill, and Lo helping out with the other necessities. In addition to keeping tips for the Chapter, we had our canopy set up for

Safety and Membership information (thanks Rusty and Ralph). This is a great way to get our message out to our fellow bikers about

what ABATE is about. And thanks to HD of Lakeland for a free cookout for bikers every weekend! Our next date to grill is Saturday,

April 28. More info on that from Roadmap in this Newsletter. That’s it for this month. See y’all April 15th at the Boondocks for our

Chapter Meeting. Thanks so much for Ginny providing for our meetings at The Boondocks. RIDE SAFE AND ENJOY

Products Still have a few chapter shirts (xl) and a few BLM (xxl) shirts for sale, see me at the next meeting if you want

one.

Safety I would like to thank Lakeland Harley-Davidson for allowing us the recent opportunity to do the cooking and

set up our safety booth at their swap meet.

The turnout was great and the weather couldn’t have been any better. Remember, the Saturday of the

Leesburg Bike-fest, they will have free hamburgers and hotdogs and our chapter will be cooking again, stop

by and show your support.

Safety tip of the month

If you haven’t notice there seems to be a new type of racing event going on. It’s the one where someone see’s

you coming down the highway as they are approaching an intersection and they speed up, run the stop sign,

turn the corner and pull out in front of you. Don’t enter, there’s no prize money, nor trophy, it’s just another

idiot with no regards for yours or anyone else’s life. I don’t think it’s their need to be first because if they

haven’t realized there’s always going to be someone somewhere ahead of them. I tend to think, they are afraid

you just might do the speed limit and obey other traffic laws, “and god forbid” they get stuck behind you. “Watch out”, they’re

everywhere!

Legislative

TOUGHER TEXTING LAW COULD STALL IN SENATE TALLAHASSEE --- The

Florida House is expected Thursday to approve a measure that would allow law-

enforcement officers to pull over people for texting while driving, but the brakes have

been applied in the Senate.

Senate sponsor Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, said Wednesday he continues to push for the

measure (SB 90), though Appropriations Chairman Rob Bradley has indicated the

proposal likely won’t appear in the Appropriations Committee before the legislative

session ends next week.

“All I can do is push as hard as I can on getting stuff done,” Perry said.

Perry said “legitimate” concerns have been expressed by Bradley and others that the bill could potentially be

abused, but those negatives shouldn’t outweigh the intent, which is to reduce distracted driving and crashes.

The House proposal (HB 33), which was positioned Wednesday for a vote, would make texting while driving a

“primary” traffic offense, allowing officers to pull over motorists for texting. It is currently a “secondary” offense,

Page 7: ABATE of Florida, Inc. Polk County Chapter The Iron Presspolk.abateflorida.com/Newsletters/2018/ABATE 2018 APRIL1.pdf · Polk County Chapter for use in this letter becomes property

which means police can only write tickets for texting while driving when they stop motorists for other reasons,

such as speeding.

The bill would allow motorists to make phone calls on electronic devices. Also, the devices could be used for

such things as getting directions.

The idea of making texting while driving a primary offense has been around for years. But it gained momentum

during this year’s legislative session when House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, came out in

support. Gov. Rick Scott has also voiced opposition to texting and driving.

Some lawmakers, however, have raised concerns that the bill could increase the chances that minorities will be

racially profiled.

Rep. Al Jacquet, D-Lantana, asked House sponsors Wednesday if they have they considered “unintended

consequences.”

“This particular bill that you are running, giving officers another reason to pull folks over, regardless of whether

they actually committed a current traffic infraction --- as far as failing to maintain a lane, speeding, running a red

light, their tag is correct --- this gives them another reason to pull people over,” Jacquet said.

To try to address concerns about racial profiling, the House and Senate versions would require law-enforcement

officers to record the race and ethnicity of each person pulled over for texting while driving.

Rep. Jackie Toledo, a Tampa Republican who is a primary sponsor, said recording the information is intended to

allow people to track if racial profiling is occurring.

“If that problem does occur, it depends upon whether it’s isolated to one city or county, and then we’ll talk to that

sheriff or police chief and get that problem rectified,” Toledo said. “But texting and driving doesn’t discriminate.

Everyone does it.”

Toledo added that law-enforcement officers will be trained to discern if motorists are texting or using cell phones

or other handheld device for such things as phone calls.

“We’ve spoken extensively with law enforcement,” added co-sponsor Emily Slosberg, D-Boca Raton. “There is a

big difference between a driver who makes a few clicks on a phone or dials a few numbers than going down the

road with a cellphone in their hands, typing a novel, not looking anywhere at the road, but right down at their

phone.”

FROM THE AMA House and Senate legislation would restrict availability of unsafe fuel for motorcycles

Urge your representative and senators to cosponsor these bills

U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) introduced the "Growing Renewable Energy

through Existing and New Environmentally Responsible Fuels Act" (the GREENER Act) in the U.S. House (H.R.

5212) and Senate (S. 2519). The American Motorcyclist Association supports these bills. The legislation would

cap mandated ethanol content in the nation's fuel supply at 9.7 percent and require the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency to prioritize the use of cellulosic biofuel ahead of other biofuels when determining volumes

below blend wall levels. In other words, the bill would stop the federal government from forcing E15 fuel (15

percent ethanol by volume) into the market. Capping the ethanol mandate helps ensure the availability of safe

fuels, such as E10, and a continuing place in the market for ethanol-free gasoline (E0) for older motorcycles.

None of the estimated 22 million motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles in use in the United States is certified by the

EPA to operate on fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol. Inadvertent use of E15 in vehicles not designed

for

its use can damage fuel system and engine components and void manufacturer's warranties. Tell your

representative to support H.R. 5212 and your senators to support S. 2519.

TAKE ACTION !!! This is why ABATE exists! To protect the welfare and rights for motorcyclists!! Make a

quick phone call to our US Senators (Nelson and Rubio) and tell them you want their support for S. 2510. Look

up your US Congressional Representative in the back of this newsletter and call their office. You will get an aide

or voice mail, and politely tell them you are with ABATE of Florida, and would like their support for H.R. 5212.

More ethanol in gas is not good for motorcycle & ATVs engines!!! Be a part of the solution to this issue!!! A

phone call is a fast way to help, and you can also send an e-mail to!! SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Motorcyclist

profiling is the target of A.B. 2972, co-authored by Assemblymember Anna Caballero (D- Salinas) and Speaker

Pro-Tem Kevin Mullin (D-San Mateo). The bill would prohibit law enforcement officers from stopping

motorcyclists based on "the fact that a person rides a motorcycle or wears motorcycle or motorcycle club-related

clothing, ... without any individualized suspicion." The AMA supports this bill, which is in keeping with the

organization's position statement on motorcyclist profiling.

HONOLULU - All motorcyclists, their passengers and all bicyclists would have to wear helmets if H.B. 1749

passes. The bill was cosponsored by eight legislators. Current state law requires riders and passengers younger

than 18 to wear helmets. CARSON CITY, Nev. - A.B. 261, which took effect this year, closes a loophole that

allowed adults to continue to obtain learner permits, rather than move on to a full motorcycle endorsement on

their driver's licenses. Under the new law, the permit expires after six months and may be renewed no more than

once. Also, the applicant may not reapply for another permit for five years.

Industry News MILWAUKEE - Harley-Davidson plans to launch its first production electric motorcycle in 2019.

"The EV market is in its infancy today and we believe it will drive excitement into our sport globally in both

traditional and nontraditional spaces," Harley Davidson CEO Matt Levatich told analysts and investors. The

company's Project LiveWire prototype toured the country in 2014 and 2015 to give the public a glimpse of the

company's direction with electric motorcycles. MILWAUKEE - Harley-Davidson rejected pleas from Missouri

lawmakers to reconsider plans to close the manufacturer's plan in Kansas City. U.S. Sens. Roy Blunt and Claire

McCaskill sent a letter to Harley CEO Matt Levatich, along with U.S. Reps. Sam Graves and Emanuel Cleaver,

pointing out that Harley received a "considerable incentive package" from the state, Kansas City and Platte

County to build the plant in 1996. The letter claims the incentives totaled $6.4-million. Harley responded that the

plant closing is based on market factors. Harley announced in January that work done in Kansas City will be

moved to its York, Pa., plant. About 800 workers will lose their jobs when the Missouri plant closes in the fall of

2019. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Curtiss Motorcycles is poised to release its first bike since the company's

rebranding and the first Curtiss to be introduced in more than 100 years. Dubbed "Warhawk," the design is a nod

to Glenn Curtiss, the inventor of the first American V-twin motorcycle. Only 35 units are being produced,

highlighted by an aluminum frame, an air-cooled 2200cc V-twin and a five-speed stacked gearbox with clear

covers. The projected retail price is $105,000. The Curtiss is the first bike produced since the former Confederate

Motors Inc. bought the brand and changed the company name in 2017. International News VICTORIA, Australia

- Motorcyclists plan a May 18 ride to protest the installation of wire rope barriers along Victoria's roadways. The

Independent Riders Group is organizing the protest. Group spokesman Damien Codognotto said the Victoria

government plans to spend $4 billion on wire rope barriers between 2015 and 2020, "yet admits WRB posts pose

a deadly threat to riders." The Victorian Country Fire Authority also said the barriers block

access to crashes and bushfires.

That’s it for this month. RIDE SAFE AND ENJOY

Webmaster Hi Polk County,

For those who have not heard, Kevin Hartley passed away at 6:00 am on Friday, March

16th. He was a former member and officer of the Polk County Chapter. He had been

suffering from a muscular disease for the last couple of years. We laid him to rest on

Friday, March 23rd. We had a motorcycle escort to the cemetery of 26 bikes. On Thursday,

March 22nd I met his daughter at Kevin's house to help her start his motorcycle. As he had

been ill, the bike hasn't ran in quite a while. I got it running and his active duty US Army

Soldier daughter Jaz Hartley was able to ride Kevin's bike. I'm sure Kevin was looking

down smiling...

ABATE came to Florida in the mid 1970’s. At that time it was a

group of individual and unaffiliated chapters. In 1979, ABATE of Florida, Inc. was formed by the individual chapters.

This union was the basis for today’s organization. Throughout the years, ABATE of Florida, Inc. has strived to be an

effective political force for the rights of motorcyclists in Florida. We have also attempted to keep up to date on all

legislation on a federal level and have tried to input our concerns to our federal officials.

ABATE of Florida, Inc. has hired a professional lobbyist to aid us in our fight for freedom of choice. Our lobbyist

has also been instructed to keep a close watch on all State or National legislation that would affect all motorcyclists.

Please note any political information in the chapter newsletter is for your educational

All members are encouraged to submit articles, photos, and other materials that

Wow! Daytona BIKE Week has come and gone. We camped for 10 nights. It was an awesome time.

We saw old friends and made new ones. The weather was normal like always for bike week. In 10

days we got rain, wind, cold, warm and a couple of great days to ride. People sometimes ask me “why

do you go every year, it’s the same thing every year “. I say hallelujah yes, it is! Even with the changes

that do come, it’s still bike week. We get to get out there, and to renew old relationships and make

new ones; these are my people and I love to be around them. Our Heavenly Father is kind of like bike

week… even with the changes in our lives; He remains the same yesterday, today and forever. (John

3:16-17) God’s son, Jesus came to pay our sin debt, to save us, and He did it because He loves us!

Then, now and forever, His love for us never changes.
