Freedom of Road Riders, its Locals, Districts and members are comprised of people from all
walks of life and ages that share a common passion and love for the motorcycle lifestyle, no
matter what make & model they ride.

In the mid 1960's, state governments across the country were enacting motorcycle policies on
Qualifications, Licensing, and Restrictions regarding the use and operation of motorcycles. By
the late 1970's prosecution of these restrictions on Personal Freedoms by became rampant.

Influenced by the insurance and medical lobbies, elected officials were progressively enacting
'For Your Own Good' laws against motorcyclists, including forced compliance of various articles
of protective gear and riding apparel. A clear disregard of our right to the pursuit of Life, Liberty,
Happiness, and the American Dream.

Recognizing that some of these enactment’s were totalitarian in nature, and a selective form of
discrimination against a lifestyle, it was feared that soon the federal government might step in and
our riding future could be jeopardized. Groups of enthusiasts and riders began forming
Motorcycle Rights Organizations or MROs across the country to take a stand against these
totalitarian enactment’s at the state level.

They soon realized the only way to compete with the powerful, money-backed lobbies on an even
and level playing field, was to develop and promote a solid 'Grass Roots' Movement. Education,
and political activism are powerful tools against an ever increasing push to control our lifestyle.
In 1981, Freedom of Road Riders became Missouri's MRO, and the movement to contain these
types of enactment’s and recover our lost freedoms continues today.

Although the federal government has maintained and agreed that these enactment’s are now the
business of individual state governments. Federal lawmakers influence state legislators by
threatening to withhold needed Federal Highway funds if the state doesn’t comply with the
Federal sentiment toward the American motorcyclist.

Again, influenced by the insurance companies and medical trauma staff lobbies, legislators
continue seeking legislation that 'protects motorcyclists from themselves.' Today MROs are in
every state in the United States and across Europe. Freedom of Road Riders members have gone
on to help develop new programs that help motorcyclists both on state and federal levels,
including the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) in Washington, D.C.

We would like to encourage our new members to take full advantage of all the opportunities and
programs Freedom of Road Riders offers. Your participation will not only help you to achieve a
better understanding of Legislation that could help or hinder your continued love for the
motorcycle lifestyle, it will strengthen FORR's efforts to monitor and inform you of legislation
involving Safety, Education, and Laws that could affect you as a rider.

Two weeks ago, more than 200 motorcyclists roared into Washington, D.C., from every corner of this country. They put aside their daily lives to take the fight for motorcyclists’ rights straight up Capitol Hill and into the offices of 535 members of Congress!

They didn’t come to sightsee. They came to be heard. This was not about fancy dinners and photo-ops.

- It was about the future of motorcycling.
- It was about profiling.
- It was about the right to repair and modify their motorcycles.
- It was about bad fuel policy, reckless expansion of autonomous vehicles, and lawmakers who too often view bikers as expendable.
- It was about bikers speaking and Congress hearing us loud and clear.

If you missed Bikers Inside the Beltway, don’t make the mistake of missing what comes next. The fight is getting bigger. The stakes are getting higher. And the people sitting on the sidelines are not the ones shaping the future of motorcycling.

The MRF’s 42nd Annual Meeting of the Minds is coming to Milwaukee, September 24–27, 2026, and this is your call to get in the saddle and become part of the movement.

Here are five reasons to stop watching and start participating. Here are five reasons to make your reservations now.

1. Ride for Your Rights: This isn’t just another road trip - it’s a declaration. Every mile to Milwaukee is a statement that bikers will not quietly surrender their freedoms, culture, or way of life.
2. Help Set the 2027 Legislative Priorities: Don’t complain later about decisions made without you. Be in the room where the strategy is built and the battles are chosen.
3. Stand with the Largest Motorcyclists’ Rights Movement in the Nation: Thousands of bikers. One united voice. Real grassroots muscle. This is how legislation gets stopped, changed, or passed.
4. Sixteen information-packed workshops: Get the tools to hit back, enhance your knowledge, and strengthen your SMRO. Stay ahead of the attacks on your right to ride.
5. Arm Yourself with Legal Knowledge: Rights ignored become rights lost. Learn from legal experts how to protect yourself, your motorcycle, and your SMRO from growing legal threats.

The sidelines are already crowded with people willing to complain but unwilling to act. Don’t be one of them. When riders engage, nobody else will make the decisions for us.

Grab the bars, it’s KSU and time to head into Milwaukee, ready to fight for the future of motorcycling.

Time is running out, lock in your room reservations. See you in Milwaukee.
