THE ABATE UPDATE
MRF Friends and Supporters-
Today I sat in a congressional hearing that considered the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports
Act (or ‘RPM’ Act).
As you all know, the RPM Act is critical legislation that became necessary after the EPA attempted
to sneak in language that would make it illegal for you to make modifications to your motorcycle even if
it is for the purposes of racing. Though the Agency withdrew the language, even today they still maintain
they have the authority to enforce this.
We MUST get this legislation passed which would ensure our right to modify our motorcycles as we
see fit and ensure the EPA can’t fine us for doing what WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE.
This legislation is broadly supported by both Republicans AND Democrats. The only thing it needs
now is a chance at a vote.
PLEASE CLICK/SHARE/SEND/POST the following link that will take you to a pre-drafted letter to
your elected officials asking them to consider the RPM Act for a vote.
Let’s not just be SAY-ERS, let’s be DO-ERS!
