YOUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS BEING STRIPPED AWAY.
From federally mandated vehicle "kill switches", supported by 57 Republicans and Democrats defeating Thomas Massie’s amendment, to Flock cameras tracking your car without a warrant, the surveillance state is invading our daily lives.

No due process. No warrants. Just constant monitoring and control.

Your right to travel freely without government intrusion MUST be protected. I’m fighting to stop this overreach in Louisiana, starting with our roads.

This week, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Administrator Jonathan Morrison sent a strong message to developers of driverless automated driving systems, warning that autonomous vehicles must be able to safely recognize and respond to emergency vehicles and first responders. The letter cites multiple incidents in which automated vehicles failed to react appropriately to flashing lights, traffic cones, emergency scenes, and first responders, calling the problem "unacceptable" and putting the industry on notice to address these safety concerns immediately.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) welcomes this proactive step. It demonstrates that NHTSA is willing to hold automated vehicle developers accountable before these technologies become more widespread on America's roads.

At the same time, the MRF continues to press for similar protections for motorcyclists. Just as automated driving systems must be able to safely interact with emergency vehicles, they must also reliably detect, recognize, and respond to motorcycles. Riders have long expressed concerns that automated vehicle technology may not consistently identify motorcycles in real-world traffic, creating unnecessary risks.

The MRF will continue working with Congress, NHTSA, and industry stakeholders to ensure that as automated driving technology advances, the safety of motorcyclists remains a top priority. Innovation should make our roads safer for everyone—including those who choose to ride.

We now have two Confederation of Clubs and Independent Riders locations.

One in Alexandria at the Family of Grace Church at 4200 South MacArthur Dr. Held every other month, on odd months on the last Sunday of that month.

And one at the Church in Lamar Dixon Expo Center at 9039 S St.Landry Ave Gonzalez, La.70737.
Held every two months on the first Sunday of that month.

You can go to either one it doesn't make a difference or go to both.

This is just to make it easier and more convenient for clubs and independences around the state to attend.

Getting involved in Motorcycle Rights Organizations isn’t just about today, it’s about protecting your freedom to ride Tomorrow.

Your Freedom Isn’t Automatic, freedom to ride what you want where you want with who you want and wear what you want and to customize your bike, where you can travel, can all be affected by laws and regulations.

Groups like the Louisiana Confederation of Clubs & Independents, Louisiana ABATE, National Coalition of Motorcyclists, Motorcycle Riders Foundation, National Council of Clubs and National Council of Informed Riders to monitor legislation and fight for rider's interests.

If we don’t step up, decisions about motorcycling will be made without our voice.

Laws are always Changing
from helmet laws to emissions regulations and insurance requirements, legislation can shift quickly.

Motorcycle rights organizations:

Track proposed laws.

Educate riders on what’s happening.

Speak directly to lawmakers.

Protect against unfair or unnecessary restrictions.

Protecting the Future of Riding
Motorcycles is more than transportation it’s culture, community, and freedom.

If we don’t participate,
Riding communities shrink, events and rallies lose support.

The voice of motorcyclists weakens.

Being active ensures that 10, 20, 30 years from now riding is still strong.

Unity Is Power
When riders stand divided, lawmakers see small groups.
When riders stand united, they see voter's. (Strength in numbers).

Your involvement helps make sure rules are fair and reasonable.

Ride Safe, Respects
