Request that the Bill (SB 92), gets out of committee, and gets to the floor for a vote.

Message from the Director:

JUNE

I would like to start this article with an apology to Diane Thompson for it's lateness.

On May, 5th., we held our annual Awareness Rally, to kick off May as "Motorcycle Awareness Month" in Ohio. The event was complicated by the arrival of President Obama, stripping us of our customary Police escort. I would like to thank the Delaware County Sheriff's Office for the outstanding job the Deputys did escorting us to the Franklin/Delaware County line. A huge thank you goes out to Lt. Evans, the motorcycle Deputy, who was actually on his day off, but who generously donated his time to help out. Thank you, Lt. Evans!!. There was a certain amount of trepidation because of the lack of escort from the Delaware Co. line to the Statehouse, but the circumstance dictated that we proceed, and to the credit and testimony of the riding abilities of those participating, to my knowledge, all made it safely to our destination. There was a certain amount of patience stretching, however,mostly all of it on the part of the cagers. All butt-heads were effectively dealt with. Thanks to Jim Elgin and all the State officers involved in the planning and execution of the ride. An impressive number of proclamations were obtained, and it was an excellent kick-off to the month. The After Rally event at Farrows was less than impressive. MAJOR BITCH: ever since we started having Farrows as our starting point, the after rally event has been held at the downtown Farrows location. This is not the bitch. My bitch is that Region 9 and Franklin County have been listed on the State flyers for the Awareness Rally as the hosts of the after rally part, but we have NEVER been asked to participate in any fashion in the planning of this event. Up until this year, this wasn't too much of a problem, however, this year, I heard some people were blaming the Region and Franklin Co. for the quality of the after rally. If my Region and Franklin County's toes are going to be held over the fire for an event we had nothing to do with, I WANT THE AFTER RALLY RALLY BACK!!! We used to do a damn good job of putting on an after rally event, and I will take my lumps for an event's quality, if my Region and County actually were responsible for the event. This is not a criticism of Farrows, just a plain fact, either include us, give it back, or we should be removed as the host on the State flyer.. This will be discussed at the May BOD meeting.

The April Pickaway County run had to be cancelled, due to inclement weather. Thanks to the very few who actually showed up, and thanks to Jeff for a valiant effort-ya just can't beat Mother Nature,especially when she's being a real mother.

The big magilla on the horizion is June Jam. It is rapidly approaching. Outside of being a great time, please don't forget that this year, there a a few new components, one of which is the awarding of the first half of the Double Draw, the Aeolus Retro Scooter. This will be drawn on June 23rd. The winning ticket for the scooter will be returned to the main draw, the 2012 HD Police Edition Electra Glide, and trailer. Two prize opportunities for one low $20 ticket. The HD will be awarded on August, 25th., at Margaritaville.The second new deal is the Ohio-Michigan Field Games Challange. I hope we can do a little better this year. There will be a new trophy involved, and I hope that it stays in Ohio. Please plan on attending the Jam, and please remember that Region 9 has some work details to cover, so if you can help out, please contact me. Please remember also, that if you do volunteer to work, you need to be in shape to do so. If you show up three sheets to the wind, we will not be able to utilize your talents and skills, so plan accordingly. Thank you, and see you there!

On a different tack, congratulations go out to our Brothers and Sisters in Michigan, for winning their freedom of choice after 35 years!!! Outstanding!! I am proud that in my own small way, I helped achieve this, but I am more proud of the freedom fighters in Michigan, for their perseverence, dedication, and commitment and ability to marshall the various segments of the motorcycling community to accomplish their goal. A great lesson!!

The Legion Riders from Post 490 have invited ABATE members to ride with them in the Whitehall Fourth Of July Parade. It would be a nice way to honor America and her Veterans, so I would ask you to keep this event in mind. More details will be in my next article and on the Region website as they become available.

It was nice to see Big Mike Conrad at the May meeting, coming so soon on the heels of his mishap. He is doing well, under the circumstances, hopefully his recovery continues without any complications. Please keep his passenger, Glenna in your thoughts as well, as she also recovers. It was also nice to see Jeff Kuhn, from Madison County at the meeting. Hang tough, bro!

Thanks to Jeff Bowersock and Michele Ray and Roger Wright for their assistance in obtaining proclamations for the Awareness Rally.

In last month's article, I mentioned New Hampshire introduction of legislation similar to California's, regarding EPA stickers on exhausts. I am able to report that NH backed off the EPA part, and is going to use the SAE standard instead, and is going to lower the decible levels as well, so good news there.

Condolences to J.R. Gantner on the loss of his father, and to the Legion Riders, on the loss of one of their riders (and a recent ABATE member), Richard Leary, "Dancer". They will be missed.

Thanks to new members-Jack and Mary Ardrey, and to our renewals: Smif and Jim Cox. Also thanks for your support:

Kathy Gantner-10 years

Crystal Young-7 years

Jan Russell-24 years

Chuck Russell-25 years

Sam Mortley-17 years

Well, thats about it for me, its getting late, I'm hungry, and tired, so once agais, Diane, sorry for the tardiness of this article, and I'm out!

MAY

As I am writing this, Pickaway County's Poker Run has not occured, so I will write about it in next month's article. I assume that I saw all of you there.

The May Awareness Rally will be on May 5th. You are probably reading this article prior to this, so once again I am asking all of you to join us at AD Farrows up on Route 36/37 in Sunbury, starting at 9:30. We will be leaving for the Statehouse at noon, under Police escort, where ceremonies will be held to kick off May as Motorcycle Awareness Month in Ohio. This is one of the most important events of the year, so please plan on attending. It is a rain or shine event, so be there, and bring a friend or two that are not ABATE members, if possible, to give them an idea of what we are all about. It would be nice to sign up many new members at this event. There will be an after rally event at Farrows downtown location, so see you there.

The next big thing on the agenda is June Jam. I know ALL of you have either pre-registered, or are going to attend. Please remember that this is a FUNDRAISER for the State, so even if you can't attend, please send in your money. Pre-registering gets you a $5 discount on your admission, so DO IT! The JJ committee has been hard at work to put on a quality event (Thanks, Goofy, Carla and the rest of the committee), so please reward their hard work with your attendance. The work schedule has been released, and Region 9 has the following responsibilities:

Special Draw ticket Sales-Friday and Saturday (need workers)

Product Trailer-Friday 3Pm to 5Pm (need one more worker)

Security-Friday 4Pm to 8PM (need two more workers)

Security-Saturday (backup, if needed) 4PM to 8PM four workers possibly needed)

Security-Sunday 12AM to 4AM (6 workers needed)

Gate-Friday 2Pm to 6PM (2 more workers needed)

Gate-Saturday 8PM to 12AM ( 4 workers needed)

Trash-have 6 people, may need a few more

The amount of work shifts is determined by the percentage of members in the Region to the overall number of members in the State. Region 9 has 14.6% of the members, so that is how our work shifts are determined. If you can give some of your time to help work at JJ, please contact me at phone # or email address at end of this article. Thank you, and thanks to those who have already volunteered.

Also, I would like to thank those from the Region who have taken out ads on the JJ T shirt. A comprehensive list will be published in the July article. There are still some slots in the Sport, Touring and Custom event advertising categories available. See me for details.

Don't forget the Ohio-Michigan Field Games Challange. Start practicing, I don't want the Michigan crew to go home with all our hardware again.

After the Jam, various other State Events such as Wauseon, AMA Vintage Days, Wetzel. and other events will demand our presence as an organization. There will also be smaller events here in the Region that we will be at, spreading the ABATE message, so see you there. We will be at some of the bike nights also.

I was reading the latest issue of the AMA magazine, when I came across an article about New Hampshire introducing legislation like the bill signed by Gov. Schwartzenegger in California, two years ago (thanks, Arnie!), requiring motorcycles built after 2013 to have an EPA sticker on the exhaust. This was predictible, and just goes to define one of the next big issues we will be dealing with as riders-NOISE. Stay tuned.

Thanks to our newest members: William Davies and Angela Tutorow. and thanks to our renewals: Brian and Sue Nissley, Suzie Pickett, and Floyd and Karen Norman. In addition, thanks for your support:

Mike Conrad-4years

Terry Wright-6years

Sally Wright-6years

Tim Williams-5years

Jo Williams-5years

Davis Quickert-1year

Tom Bloomer-21years

Remember, you, the members are the lifeblood of this organization, I thank each and every one of you for your dedication to fighting for your rights as motorcyclists.

Riding season is finally here, so get your minds sharp, and your scoots tuned up, and get out there. Take some time to practice some slow speed moves, and braking techniques, and /or, take the advanced rider course to sharpen some of your skills, or break some of those bad habits.

MARCH

I would like to start out by thanking everyone who helped at the Cycle Fest booth. Your help was greatly appreciated. We passed out a considerable number of applications, garnered a re-newal, signed up a new member, and sold some products. All in all, the effort was well worth it. The next week, I travelled up to Cleveland to help at the IX Motorcycle Show. I spent an enjoyable day with TJ and his crew. Once again, more applications were passed out, more products sold, but the most important aspect was the chance to speak to large numbers of people, about the issues that all motorcyclists are facing. I feel that ABATE was well received at both shows. As I write this, The Easyriders Show is in three days, once again ABATE will be there getting the message out.

The State Seminar was held on Feb. 4, and an excellent day was presented to the attendees. Ninety people were there, with nineteen signing up the day of the seminar. One result of member input on the issues we should be be concentrating on, was a vote to introduce legislation to prohibit motorcycle only checkpoints in Ohio. We have been told that Ohio has no interest in establishing these checkpoints, but we want to be 100% assured of this fact. More details on this will be forthcoming. As far as the handlebar bill is concerned, the legislation will be to have the handlebars at the rider's shoulders. We could not get agreement on no restrictions, so we are going with the shoulder height aspect. The bill will be introduced by Rep. Cliff Rosenberger. Watch for any action alerts from Woody, about this legislation. The Row Bill must get out of committee before the summer. If no action is taken, the chances of getting it passed in the second half of the year do not look favorable. It is a re-election year, so nothing much will happen in the second half of the year, except for electioneering. We MUST contact Senator Patton, the Chair of the Transportation Committee and request that the Bill (SB 92), gets out of committee, and gets to the floor for a vote. His contact info is: http://www.ohiosenate.gov/tom-patton.html, and 614-466-8056. Please contact him and request movement on the third reading of the bill. I would like to thank Scott Wood (Woody), our Legislative Director and the Seminar committee, for the excellent program they presented to the attendees. Thanks to all who showed up, especially those of you from Region 9. The games held on Friday night raised money for the MOTM, and were fun as well. Thanks to Jinx and our Brothers and Sisters from Michigan, who I believe, provided the games, and attended as well. It is always interesting to get input from other states on how they are dealing with their issues, and also their perspective on other issues.

Speaking of Michigan, a Legislative Alert has been issued for all to contact Gov. Snyder, and ask him to support SB291, the adult choice for helmets bill. Contact info: Gov. Rick Snyder, PO Box 30013, Lansing, MI 48909. Phone:517-373-3400, or 517-335-7858 Constituent Services. Fax:517-335-6863, E-mail: Rick.Snyder@michigan.gov. CONTACT THE GOVERNOR IN WHATEVER FORM YOU WISH, and respectfully inform him that you are a motorcyclist who would like to visit his state,spend some of your hard earned tourist dollars there, and you would be more willing to do that if his state would enact freedom of adult choice on the helmet issue. LET'S HELP OUR BRETHERN IN MICHIGAN GET THEIR FREEDOM TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS ON HOW THEY WANT TO RIDE. DO IT!!

As far as things Ohio, as you all know, June Jam is approching quickly. The June Jam T-shirt design contes has been extended to March 9, at midnight. ALL submissions must be either at the State Office, or in Goofy's in-box by that time and date. The March 14th. date in the Outspokin is incorrect, this would fall after the March Board of Directors Meeting, so the deadline is March 9, 2012. June Jam T-shirt advertising is available, please contact an Officer if you would like to advertise on the JJ T-shirt. JJ sponsorships are also available, once again, contact an Officer, or the State Office for details. If you are a vendor, or know of a vendor that might be interested in the Jam, please contact the State Office. Pre-registration forms are in the Outspokin. If you pre-register, you save $5 off the cost. Please remember that the Jam is first and foremost a FUNDRAISER for the State. If you cannot attend the Jam, please send in your money to support the Organization. Hopefully, everyone will attend, as it is a damn good time as well.

The Awareness Rally will be on May 5th. We will be meeting at AD Farrow on Rt. 37 in Sunbury, and parade down 71 to the Statehouse, to announce our presence on the highways, to the cages. Please plan on attending, and try to obtain proclamations from Municipalities declaring May as Motorcycle Awareness Month. Look for more details in the Outspokin and at meetings. See you there.

Preperations and plans are in motion for the MRF's Meeting of The Minds, 2013; which Ohio is hosting. This will put ABATE into the National and Global spotlight, and will be a monumental undertaking. We will need lots of volunteers, donations, money and dedication to put on this Seminar. Details and progress reports will be at County meetings, and in the Outspokin. Please keep informed, and be ready to respond when the time approches.

Events in the region are the Franklin County Daytona North Party, on March 17th, and the Pickaway County firefighters Run on April 21st. there are Flyers in the Outspokin if you need the scoop. Please support these and other ABATE events, as you can.

I would like to thank Region 9 for your generosity in supporting the buy a day program to fund the state office. We bought the most days last year, so THANK YOU from myself and the State Office.

At the State Seminar, it is customary to recognize members for their contributions and support of ABATE. This year, Michele Ray was chosen for one of two Treasurer's Awards, and Rick Jessee was recognized for the Region 9 award. In addition, Robin Pickens was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. Congratulations to Robin, Michele and Rick, and thank you for all your efforts and support. Region 9 rocks!!

FEBRUARY

By the time you read this, the new year has begun it's cycle, with the January meetings kicking off the festivities. The new Officers have joined the holdovers, and everybody is starting to feel their way through the business at hand. I am looking forward to both the county meetings and also the first Regional meeting. I have some ideas, and I am keen on getting input from the other Officers as well. The new year always brings a sense of both deja vu, and anticipation. It will be an interesting and challenging year, and we will meet it head-on.

As far as legislative matters are concerned, the January issue of the Outspokin gives a good statement of where we are with the issues, so I will not spend a lot of space discussing the status of the bills. Please read Woody's article and the other Officer articles. Once the issues clarify, we will let you know what and when things need to happen. Other items on the Federal level are covered in the MRF and AMA articles. Please read them as well. Our Legislative Officers will be presenting information at the county meetings, so please plan on getting more information there, as well. Also, go to the ABATE, AMA, and MRF websites to get all the info you need.

The Franklin County meeting will be held at Scotty's, 6224 E. Livingston Ave. (614-755-9407), on the first Sunday of the month, at noon. This will continue until April, when we will choose a summer meeting location, and we will meet at the Summer place starting in May.

ABATE will have a booth at CycleFest, Jan. 21 and 22. I need volunteers to help staff the booth, from 10-10 on Saturday, and 10-3 on Sunday. Saturday shifts will be 4 hours or so, Sunday will be 10-3. Please sign up at the January meeting. I appreciate the help. These shows are an opportunity to get the message out to people who may not be familiar with the issues facing motorcyclists, get to meet other riders, and in general have a good time, and get to see some nice motorcycles. Any chance ABATE gets to spread the message is to the benefit of all our rights. See you there.

On Feb. 4, the State Legislative Seminar will be held at the Embassy Suites Dublin, 5100 Upper Metro Place, Dublin, 614-790-9000. There is a special room rate, which includes a full breakfast, and a complimentary happy hour. The rooms are suites, and will sleep six. The seminar is a very well thought out, informative day, and I recommend every Officer attend, along with any non officer who would like to learn about the issues we face, and the tactics and ideas we can employ to deal with them. Michigan is having their seminar on Jan 14, and I am seriously thinking about attending, so I can get some ideas on how they are dealing with their particular set of of issues. Hopefully, if I go, I can steal a few things that pertain to us as well. A report on both these seminars will be in the March issue.

On the event scene, March 17 will be the Franklin County Daytona North Party. This will be at the Granville Street Tavern, 248 Granville St. in Gahanna (614-414-0020). At this writing, the entertainment is not known. Info will be in the Outspokin, and at the meeting. In April, Pickaway County will have their Firefighter's Run, on the 21st. This will be at Woody's Place, 2575 N. Court St.in Circleville. Please see the Flyer in the Outspokins for info.

Also, June Jam is fast approaching, June 22-24. There is a pre-registration form in the Outspokin, which gets $5 off the price of admission. This is THE fundraising event for the STATE, so please send in your money, even if you can't attend, but I hope that EVERYONE will clear the dates, and attend. Who knows, you might just have some fun. A challenge has been issued to Michigan in the field games, this year. They wiped our asses last year, so this year, hopefully we will field a team that can take them on. The reward will be bragging rights and possession of a trophy, which is in the works. Once I find out what the events in the field games are, a statewide call for participants will be issued. Let's kick some Michigan ass this year!!

Please try to support as many ABATE event as you can, both in and out of your region. Get out and meet some of the neighboring regions, and support some of the STATE events as well.

As I read my article in the January Outspokin (which really looked good-excellent job, Diane Thompson), I was somewhat appalled by it's length. I write these articles on my email, so I don't know how they translate into print. I try to give as much pertinent information as I can, which makes them slightly lengthy. Thats it for now.

JANUARY

Well, 2012 is just around the corner. As we start another year, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and a safe New Year. Since I really don't know exactly when you will be reading this, I will leave it in the past tense. If you get this between Christmas and New Year, please carry the sentiment forward.

The new year brings some changes to both the Franklin County and Regional Officer rosters. In Franklin County, Roger Wright takes over as Coordinator from Rick Jessee. Sally Carroll replaces Jackie Luckhaupt as Secretary, JR Gantner assumes the county Legislative position, and Mike Conrad is your new Sargent at Arms. On the Regional level, Kim Chafin is the new Regional Secretary, Brian Nisseley is the new Sargent at Arms, and Tony Losego is the new Technology Officer. Robin Pickens will be your new Products Person. Returning as Regional Officers will be Michele Ray as Treasurer, Bo Essig as Assistant Regional Director and myself as Region Director. Thanks to all the new Officers, and a special thank you to the departing Officers for their dedication, time and effort. It was a pleasure working with all of you, and I am looking forward to getting the new Officers integrated, and 2012 up and running.

Before I get into some of the things for 2012, I need to wrap up some old business. The Franklin County Toy Run was another great event. There were a lot of people who put a lot of time and effort to make it that sucess. A huge thank you from me to all those of you who worked so tirelessly. There is a huge list of people who I need to mention specifically, Starting with the co-chairs of the event, Robin Pickens and Tom Bloomer. Moving on down the list in no particular order: JR and Kathy Gantner, Don and Jackie Luckhaupt, Bruce and Kim Chafin, Mark Snyder, Monica Leach, Brian and Sue Nissley, Karen and Floyd Norman Rick Jessee, Joe Pickens. Terry Buzzard, Big O(Santa), Randy Paul,and Tony Losego. Another special thank you to the Gahanna American Legion and the VFW Honor Guard for presenting the Colors. One more thank you to the auctioneers, Hillbilly Jan and Pat Brobeck. With everyone's help, we raised over $6000 (plus the toys) for the Firefighters 4 Kids Toy Drive. I would like to thank those who donated auction items and food items, and everyone who participated in the run. We lucked out on the weather and there were over 400 motorcycles in the parade to the fire station. If you know any non-ABATE members, please convey our gratitude for their participation. To any individuals who I may have failed to name, please do not be offended, but if I were to name everyone, I would still be writing this into 2012. You know who you are, and what you contributed to the sucess of the event. Having said that, I do need to single out Jeff Bowersock for donating $200 for food, and Brian and Sue Nissely for their donation of $535, also for food purchase. Tom Bloomer also donated money for buying food. Thanks for your generosity.

Those of you who may have seen the TV coverage of the event(yes, there actually was some), may have been dismayed to see the event described by Channel 4, as a "Busted Knuckle Event", on both the six and eleven o'clock newscasts. This was an error by the TV Station. Someone screwed up Busted Knuckle's donation of a trailer full of toys at the event, to branding it as Busted Knuckle's event. This was TOTALLY the fault of Channel 4, and not Mark Snyder, or Busted Knuckle. When the mistake was brought to their attention, and trust me, it was REALLY brought to their attention, they immediately took steps on the Sunday newscasts, with a retraction and a correction. They even inserted part of a follow-up interview with Robin Pickens, during the six and eleven newscasts. Once again, this was a TV Station error, and one, that by using a little grass-roots telephoning, we were able to get rectified.

Moving on to 2012, ABATE will have a booth at Cycle Fest, January 21/22. I need some volunteers to help man the booth on that Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, from 10 to 10, and Sunday from 10 to 3. On Saturday, we will try to keep it to four hour shifts, and on Sunday, it will be a five hour deal. Please contact me to sign up, or do so at the January meeting.

In February, on the fourth, The State Safety, Education and Legislative Seminar will be held. There is information in the December Outspokin, on page 17. Please consider attending. These seminars are very informative and if you are a new officer, it will be benefical to you. This Seminar is not just for officers, any member will learn some new things, get a handle on the issues facing our SMRO, statewide, nationwide, and globally, and you will get recharged in the process. So see you there!!

March brings us to the Franklin County Daytona North Party, which will co-incide with St. Patricks Day, which we will all know celebrates the driving of the snakes out of Ireland, by Harley riding motorcyclists, led by St."Chopper" Patrick???. Watch the Outspokin for further details as to location and entertainment. Also, more info will be available at monthly meetings.

As far as meetings are concerned, Franklin County is reverting to the old format of Winter and Summer meeting places. Starting in January, meetings will be held at Scottys Tavern, 6224 E. Livingston Ave.(Brice and Livingston), 614-755-9407. We will continue to meet through April, when a Summer meeting place will be voted upon. The May meeting will start the Summer Cycle. Hopefully, this change will make it a little easier to keep track of the meeting locations and eliminate some confusion.

A few things on my agenda in 2012 are the revival of some of the dormant counties in the Region, making an inroad in establishing the Driver's Ed program in the Region, and increasing the overall membership of ABATE. We will be having a membership contest. We have the ability to track who signs up new members, or renewals, so we can keep track of those numbers. Once we have our first Regional Board meeting, details will be forthcoming on this. Also, starting in January, I want everyone to carry a membership application in your pocket or purse. If I ask you if you have one, and you don't-you owe me a beer. Also, start keeping apps in your saddlebags and your glove compartment, you never know when you can sign up a new member.

I would like to see more participation in the Points Program in the Region. There is info on this in the Outspokin, or get in touch with me, and I'll lay it out for you.

June Jam is less than 180 days out. Pre-registration forms are in the Outspokin. Send in your dough-make sure you go. Pregristration gets you $5 bucks off the admission price. Also, advertising will be sold on the back of the JJ shirt. See me for info.

Please keep in mind that ABATE of Ohio, Inc. is hosting the MRF Meeting of the Minds in 2013.. Planning for this is already in progress. This will require a vast amount of effort on everyone's part.

As usual, information on all things ABATE is available in the Outspokin, on the State Website(www.ABATE.com), and on the Region 9 website, which will be resurrected by our new Technology officer. Also, plenty of info is available at the monthly meetings, so see you there.

I would like to thank the following members for their years of support for Abate:

Tim and Patti Horetski - 8 years

Tom Kelley - 9 years

Becky Brecht - 1 year

Jim Hughlet-1 year

John Jarrett - 5 years

Glenn Craig - 20 years
