STATE COORDINATOR’S REPORT - JIGGS CRESSY
Every month before I write my
column, I go back and look at
what I wrote the same month in
years past. I found this part from
one in 2011.
I just got back from the annual
Motorcycle Riders Foundations
(MRF) conference, Meeting of the
Minds, in Detroit MI. It was a
great conference. I learned a lot,
touched base with old friends,
met some new ones, but most of
all I recharged my motorcycle
rights battery.
You heard me right. I, like most
of
you
have
an
internal
motorcycle rights battery. And it
gets run down from time to time.
The daily grind of everyday stuff
(emails, phone calls, writing
columns, attending meetings, and
hammering out details of the next
upcoming event) takes their toll
and drains the battery. And, the
best way I have found to recharge
my battery is to hang around with
other
people
who
are
as
passionate
about
motorcycle
rights as me.
There is nothing better for my
soul than to sit in a room with a
couple hundred bikers who feel
the same way about a particular
subject as I do. To listen to them
discuss the same issues, to listen
to them talk about their solutions
to those same problem and to
soak up their knowledge, and to
share a little bit of yours is a
great charging for my motorcycle
rights battery.
get your room reserved.

How is your JOY?
By CMA National President
John Ogden Sr.
“As the Father hath loved me, so
have I loved you: continue ye in my
love. If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in my love; even as I
have
kept
my
Father's
commandments, and abide in his
love. These things have I spoken unto
you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full” (John
15:9-11, KJV).
As we meet people from all walks of
life and all nationalities, there is a key
ingredient that we all look for -- joy.
Jesus shares this thought in these
Scriptures. The condition of true joy is
contained in our relationship with
Jesus Christ. He encourages us to
continue in His love and to abide in
that love.
within us. Allowing Christ to take
residence in our heart and the abiding
faith to always look to Him will bring
this joy. Joy is not an outside job;
but, an inside job. As you walk
through the struggles of life, I would
like to remind you and encourage you
to always allow the Prince of Peace to
reign in your life and you in Him,
which produces supernatural joy.
As we go through life, we struggle
with the things of this world. There
are days when we feel good about our
relationships and the things we have
accomplished, and there are days
when we don’t feel so good. The
condition of the joy of Christ is one Ride safe and ride often.
where we continue to abide in Him.
In His service,
This relationship is not based on good
or bad days; it is based on a Auggie and Sunshine
commitment to follow Him on the
good days as well as the bad days.
We know we can have peace in the
midst of a storm. Our joy is not based
on the circumstances around us;
rather, on the condition of our heart

Newsletter Editor’s Report: Invoices for some
flyers are being handed out that were not paid at
this point. The newsletter is looking great. The
deadline is the month before on the 15th.
Committee Reports:
Promotions committee: We have not done much
with this committee yet, but Jiggs did start a new
way of communication with members. It is called
Remind101, which allows him to send as a mass
text. This is a great fast way to get information out.
MRF Rep. Report: John Steele is not present
today, but Jiggs shared some information. The
transportation bill’s latest extension expires this
month. The Senate passed a 6 year bill but only
provided funding for 3 years, so the House killed
the bill. The House passed their version of the bill,
and it does not include everything that the MRF
wants. It does stop motorcycle only checkpoints,
but also requires a study on motorcycle accidents,
but does not deal with Ethanol. At this point, we do
not know what will happen. With the only funding
coming for this bill from gas taxes, and more
energy efficient cars, the cost for these is going to
move to the state level. The NTSA lobby ban is in
both bills.
Secretary’s Report: Thank you to Susan for taking

Norm a & I had a great & safe t rip t o California & back
recent ly. We drove 4675 m iles, averaged 20.5 m pg,
averaged 45 m ph & drov e for 103 hours.
We left on
Sept em ber 3 rd & t urned sout h at Highway 83 & drov e int o
Nebraska. We were following a grain hauling sem i & all of
a sudden it looked like t he t railer was on fire. I t t ook m e a
couple of seconds t o realize t hat t he br akes wer e locked up
on t he sem i t railer as he w as passing a car wit h a hill
com ing our way. The sem i finally got back on his side & j ust
at t hat t im e a pickup cam e our way as he had t o t ak e t he
dit ch t o avoid hit t ing t he sem i. That excit em ent w as a lot
m ore t hat we needed. We also m et a large group of about
40 m ot orcycle riders going nort hbound at a fast pace &
were about one bike lengt h apart . I t didn’t seem t hat t hey
were riding very safely as an accident could have been like
a dom ino effect if one t he bikes had gone down. Personally
I usually t ry t o plan on having a way out if som et hing bad
occurs & leave m yself som e living room bet ween m e & t he

t ruck t ires recaps on t he r oad. They can be dangerous t o
aut os & especially dangerous t o m ot orcyclist s. As m uch as
I hat e feder al m andat es t here should be a law against using
recaps on t rucks. I was an over t he road driver in t he early
80’s & did experience losing a r ecap. Aft er t hat I never
used t hem again. I t is against t he law t o use r ecaps on
your st eering t ires & t her e has t o be a reason for t hat ! We
spent t he night in Ft . Morgan, CO & had som e great
Chinese food & we bot h enj oyed t he pu pu plat t er . ( one of

On Sept em ber 5 t h we drove 514 m iles & spent t he ev ening
in Phoenix, AZ. Most of t he area in which we drove w as
over 5000 feet in elevat ion which m eant you did see a lot of

t he aft ernoon we did som e swim m ing in Chuck’s pool &
generally spent t he rest of t he aft ernoon being lazy. We

always boggles m y m ind how m any cars ar e parked near &

one of t he last st eel sail boat s ever built . We want ed t o eat

largest flee m ark et I have ever seen which had t ent s &
people selling t heir wares as far as t he eye could see. We
couldn’t find a place t o par k & finally found a place t o eat
called The Brigant ine Le Mesa. I had one of t he best
salads I have ever eat en. I wish I could rem em ber all t he
good st uff in it . We at e our lunch in a very decor at ive

driving in t he foot hills & drove t hrough Julian which is
suppose t o be t he pie capit al of t he world. To m ake
m at t ers worse we didn’t even buy a pie t here. That
evening we had what I w ould call m y favorit e Mexican
food which is a Carna Asada Burrit o & som e rolled t acos.
The m eat is m arinat ed in som e secret sauce & right at t his

2) My cur rent Job is t aking 60- 70 hrs a

t hat ’s 1 reason for m y probable decision.
3) My healt h isn’t get t ing any bet t er but

4) For t he 1st t im e I can r em em ber we

5) I have neglect ed m y house & propert y
even m or e t han nor m al for t he past few

Mort gage Co happy so I eit her need t o
spend m any Thousands of dollars on

would be feasible except for t he Medical

Even m ore work hrs needed, or a v ery
