Lewis County ABATE
Coordinator Report
May is Motorcycle Awareness Month. Like I always say every year. Every month is Motorcycle Awareness Month when you ride. For all you four wheelers out there. Please look twice at intersections and keep your cell phone out of your hands while driving. We lobby the legislature every year for laws that help make it safer for us to ride. The legislature doesn’t seem to see us as a priority when it comes to our safety. That’s my two and a half cents worth.
If you support ABATE and motorcycle rights. Come to one of our meetings. We meet at the Oakview Grange on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.
Now spring is here. Our Charter Party for members is this month. The Mt. St. Helens Memorial ride is on a Saturday this year, May 16th. Summer will soon follow. Summer means Spring Opener June 25th-28th. Our Kickback Campout is on August 14th-16th. Mark your calendars!
Plenty of rides happen on the weekends this time of year. Check out the EVENT page on our website for what is happening. Also keep an eye on our Facebook page for any rides that are happening. We plan to get out and have more Chapter rides this year.
Watch out for sand and gravel on the roads that are left over from winter. Always watch out for the driver not watching out for you. Be safe out there and take it easy.
Keep the rubber on the road!
