Bill would cap ethanol in nation's fuel supply Tell your representative to support H.R. 2540 today H.R. 2540, the bipartisan Food and Fuel Consumer Protection Act of 2019, introduced by U.S. Reps. Bill Flores (R-TX) and Peter Welch (D-VT), would cap the volume of ethanol blended into the nation's fuel supply at 9.7 percent of the total volume of gasoline. The American Motorcyclist Association supports this bill and other efforts to reform the Renewable Fuel Standard. This 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. The AMA, along with other partners on Capitol Hill dedicated to protecting consumers adversely affected by E15, is working to generate more support for this bill and others at a time when E15 is set to become more available throughout the country, thanks to rule changes by the Environmental Protection Agency that allow its sale year round. 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.

From the Exective Director Page Ed Shetter  ' (8-26-19)     Nationwide only 3 percent of Americans belong to a freedom fighting organization (explains the 3% and III% logos people wear). I recently ran into someone wearing a III% logo and asked him if new it’s history. He gave me a story about a group who are tired of the government and rambled on for about 15 minutes and never did say where it came from. I let him know. This reminded me of how important a job we do here in ABATE. Only 1 out of 33 1/3 people (it’s tough if you’re the 1/3 person) are willing to stand up and defend the rights and freedoms of all motorcyclists. .............( Read more....)

From the Legislative Page Kolman Fuzy   (10-6-19)     By the time you get this article, both the Federal and State Legislatures will be back in session. On the Fed side, the Profiling Resolution is currently up to 69 cosponsors, with three more to be added shortly.Also, the MRF has gained great traction with important offices, including members of the Congressional Black Caucus. This is important because the CBC has a large number of members on the Judiciary Committee, where the bill has been referred. We will be counting on our champions in Congress to continue to press for action on this issue, and we must be ready to take whatever action is called for to assist............. ( Read more )

From the Safety & Ed Page Mike Stock   (10-26-19)     With more than half the year gone, the older you get the faster time goes by, we seem to be riding better than we did last year. Last year at this time we had 81 fatalities and to date this year we have 66. Also there were 7 passenger fatalities, 10 out of state licenses and 5 three wheel motorcycle fatalities. What I desperately wish we could change but I have not found a way, 36 of our fatalities were our own fault. We are better riders than that, are we not?........ ( Read more )
