STATE COORDINATOR’S REPORT - JIGGS CRESSY
It has been an incredible 6
months. There has been a ton of stuff
happening in the motorcycle rights
movement, both in the state &
nationally.
In February we passed SB85 a law
to repeal the handlebar height
restriction. It was a great victory,
with lots of teamwork from across the
board. That law goes into effect July
1st. so set them high and let them fly.
Last month I went to DC to lobby
our Congressional delegation on some
motorcycle issue. I focused on getting
the issue of stopping the funding for
motorcycle only checkpoints. There
are two bills federally to stop the
funding. The house bill is HR1861 &
the Senate bill is S127. As I discussed
in last month’s article I had meetings
with all 3 of our Congressmen about
this issue, along with others. Senator
Rounds agreed to sign on as a cosponsor of S127 within days of my
visit. Representative Noem took a
little longer. After a couple visits with
her aide & lots of emails & calls from
you, she signed on to be a co-sponsor
of HR1861. So we only have one
congressman left to work on.
Here is your homework. Call
Senator Thune’s office & ask him to
sign on as a co-sponsor to S127.
Below is the wording of the bill.
S.127
Stop
Motorcycle
Checkpoint Funding Act Prohibits
the Secretary of Transportation (DOT)
from providing a grant or any funds
to a state, county, town, township,
Indian tribe, municipality, or other
local government for any program to:
(1) check motorcycle helmet use, or
(2) create motorcycle checkpoints
that specifically target motorcycle
operators or motorcycle passengers.

Make the calls & be professional.
Have the bill number handy and make
sure to ask that Senator Thune sign
on as a cosponsor to S127.
In early June a funding bill called
the 2016 Transportation, Housing and
Urban Development (THUD)
appropriations bill was on the house
floor. One of the sections of this bill
would have allowed the Secretary of
Transportation to contact individual
states & lobby for regulatory changes
at the state level that the given state
may or may not desire. Basically it
would have repealed the lobby ban
that was put into place on the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration in 1998.
Three congressmen introduced an
amendment to strike that section
from the bill. Long story short the
amendment passed & the lobby ban is
still in effect. Representative Noem
did vote for the amendment, thanks
to all that made the calls to
encourage her to vote for the
amendment.
I think we are starting to turn the
corner with our federal congressional
delegation. Lets keep at it.
The basis of our political system is the
right of the people to make and to
alter their constitutions of

ABATE CHAPLAIN’S CORNER - AUGGIE & SUNSHINE MINZLAFF
James 1:19-20
"So then, my
beloved brethren, let every man be
swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to
anger, because human anger does
not produce the righteousness that
God desires.
The Rushmore Rally is over & we
hope everyone had a great time! But
now it is time to THINK. There are
bound to be disagreements about
who did or didn't do what - right,
wrong, or indifferent. Some do "stuff"
that wasn't their business and others
don't do "stuff" that they should have
done. Before we get upset or criticize,
we should THINK. From Allan Redpath
- we should ask ourselves the
questions - are my responses:
T - rue
H-elpful
I-nspiring
N-ecessary
K-ind
If we can't respond within these
guidelines, then perhaps it would be
best to remain silent. We all have
these situations in our lives but
sometimes it is better to keep
quiet. Accusations, hurtful remarks
and unnecessary comments ALWAYS
do more harm than good.
Think
before we speak is wise. We are all
human and usually do the best we
can, according to our understanding
of the instructions.
This is everyone's "busy season"
so I am not singling out the
Rushmore Rally. We all have many
events and we have expectations of
volunteers. Remember, though, they
are VOLUNTEERS! Where would we
be without them? Competent or
incompetent, they are our volunteers
and can be directed with encouraging
words. THINK about how patient our
LORD has been with us. We are all a
"work in progress" with lots of room
to grow.
Eph 4:15 "But speaking the truth
in love, may we grow up in all
things..."
The bottom line is - we all have a
lot of pressure at this time of
year. Let us all stop and: THINK
True
Helpful
Inspiring
Necessary
Kind
Let us be there for everyone whatever level of participation they
share!
Ride safe and ride often. See you
on the road.

MRF REPORT & LEGISLATIVE OFFICER REPORT - JOHN STEELE
As I write this article all the action
as far as motorcyclist’s rights are in
Washington, DC. NHTSA has issued a
“Notice of Proposed Rulemaking”
which concerns motorcycle safety
helmets. The reason for this proposed
rule making is a modify the existing
performance requirements of the
current standard by adding
construction requirements. The result
they want to achieve is make it
possible for LEOs to visually
determine whether a helmet meets
the performance standard. The MRF
opposes this proposed change
because it does not take into account
the rapid technological changes in this
area. Because the process of making
changes to the safety helmet
standard is so slow, it’s very likely
that new & improved construction
methods & material could actually
exceed the performance requirements
but fail to meet NHTSA’s construction
requirements. The MRF encourages all
riders & MROs to comment on the
proposed rule. The following ways can
be used to make your comments;

cycles. Senator Bitter from LA has proposed this bill.
He shared that he met with the legislators & senator at a
breakfast. He did have time to talk to Senator Thune & with
Rounds.
Staffers have been receptive to most of our
information. He does feel that we have made some progress
while he has been out there. The senate is in a flux trying to
get some major bills through & funding for military &
transportation bills. The highway bill likely will be extended.
Senator Thune’s staff seems to think that the bill we want
support on won’t pass as a single bill but would probably

AROUND THE STATE WITH PHIL
It is the beginning of the month of June as I am starting
my July column. The weather has been pretty nice for
riding our motorcycles but we really do need some nice
rains down here on the farm.
Our local chapter,
Windriders ABATE, has been having some summer rides
on Thursdays to restaurants is our area. We usually
leave at about 5:30 in the evening & so far the food &
service has been great.
In last month’s column I forgot to mention that we again
had a successful IMPAC poker run on the same day as we
had our May State Meeting in Pierre. The weather was
cool & rainy in the morning but by the afternoon it really
was pretty nice in Pierre. There were not very many
bikes from outside of Pierre but we still had a nice group
at the State Capitol for a picture of SD ABATE members.
Auggie & Sunshine from CMA were there to greet us &
Auggie gave us a bike blessing prayer. The ABATE group
from Pierre (Oahe Chapter) had their own poker run &
some food that they served in the early evening. We did
manage to give $140 to the State IMPAC Fund from the
proceeds of the IMPAC Run. Norma & I did manage to
get back to Huron in time for our granddaughter Ellie’s
dance recital at the Huron High School Auditorium. She
was so cute in her dance outfit & she seemed to really
enjoy performing for a very large audience.
We again had a successful Wheel Jam at the State
Fairgrounds in Huron. Over 10,000 people attended the
3 day event.
The show included semis, cars &
motorcycles. Admission to get in was free but you did
have to pay for the food that the vendors were selling.
One of the food vendors that Norma & I really enjoy is
the lamb chislic. The owner, Kerry Kepplinger, from
Scotland, SD supplied us with great tasting chislic plus he
gave us a free bottle of ice cold water. On Friday night
they had the chili cook off & for $5.00 you could taste
everyone’s chili until you were full or the chili was gone.
On Saturday morning Norma was under the weather so I
went to Wheel Jam alone. I drove our 46 Ford in the
parade & also put it in the show & shine competition. I
couldn’t believe how many people were in downtown
Huron to watch the parade. The people really seemed to
be enjoying themselves watching all the vehicles go by. I
spent some time looking at all the semis. Some of the
paint jobs & chrome is hard to explain as you wonder how
they keep those trucks looking that good. Alas I didn’t
win any trophy but there were 48 trophies given away to
about 220 cars & motorcycles. So your chance was about
one in four of winning a trophy. On Sunday morning
Norma was feeling better & went with me to the last day
of Wheel Jam. We both worked with the bike show which
our local ABATE Chapter runs. The CMA people did a
great job of serving us a great tasting pancake & sausage
breakfast. We again entered our 46 Ford in the car show
& even with Norma’s hard work of cleaning & wiping off
the car we still didn’t win a trophy. But it was fun to see
all the other cars in the show. Later in the afternoon my
daughter, Amy, brought our grandson, Jake, to see all
the sights of the Wheel Jam. But about the only thing he
was interested in was riding in the Razor & showing
grandpa how & where all the controls are to run the
Razor. He is two years old & going on three & doesn’t
miss a thing. He will put on the light switch & then go
out in front of the Razor to see if they are actually on!
After that we had a pretty hard rain & wind come
through the fairgrounds. But, we did survive as we sat
in our car waiting for the rain to subside. All in all it was
a great weekend & even though we were tired after a
three day event we were glad to be a part of it.
It is about the middle of June & the last few days have
been on the miserable side for me. I completely lost my
voice, have a sore throat & cough. Yesterday I got a
shot in my lower back as that sounds better than where
the shot really was given. I have been coughing up
some of that nasty white & gooey stuff. How gross is
that? To make matters worse I am missing a big cancer
run in Wessington Springs. The weather is perfect & I
have seen some pictures & videos on Facebook with
people seeming to be having a lot more fun than I am
having. Next week Norma & I are driving our 46 Ford to
Minneapolis for the “Back to the Fifties” car show. It is
suppose to be one of the biggest car shows in the
country & I want to say I have been there at least one
time. I will let you know is next month’s column how it
all went.
Norma & I have been married almost eight years. I want
to let you know how we got together. I was on a
motorcycle poker run & Norma was in a car with her kids
& they were trying to figure out how to get rid of their
mother. So Schaun decided to put her on my bike since
he figured I was a pretty safe rider. They were supposed
to pick up their mom at one of the stops but they never
did. So I ended up taking her home that evening & that
is how our romance got started. When I decided to ask
for Norma’s hand in marriage I had two concerns. Since
we each had a German Shepard dog how would we deal
with that & where would we live. Norma had a log cabin
house & I lived on a farm. I asked Norma to marry me
on Christmas Day in front of all her kids. I was really
hoping that she would say yes or I would have really
been embarrassed. She decided to move in with me at
my farm & sold her house to her son. Our dogs got
along almost as well as we did! It has been a great ride
as we grow older together.
Dakotaland is having a poker run on July 11th which is
“Cruise for a Cause”. 100% of the proceeds will go to
your local volunteer fire departments. A lot of interesting
things will be going on during the day and evening. For
more information check out www.dakotalandfcu.com
There will also be poster flyer in the July Freedom Flyer.
I hope to see a lot of you at Sturgis and at the
Whitewood ABATE Social Hour on Thursday of rally
week. Have a great summer!
Until next Month

considering it wasn’t on our regular
1st Sat of the Month & was at
Pierpont Lake rather than the Eagles

I’d also like to thank Shane &

me all weekend. As well as Stitch,
Deadwood & Red for hanging out
after the meeting to help unroll a
couple thousand feet of wire. Todd
Eilers for the use of his Ditch Witch
trencher. Jeff Casanova & DSG for

supplies. Dirk Swanson & Swanson
Electric for taking calls on a weekend
& “Mentoring” us as well as taking
care of all inspections, permits etc.
The Lake is looking good & starting to

the voices in my head have been
talking about for years.
One last note & I’ll quit rambling.
Please help sell the Gun Raffle Tickets
& ads on our Flyers as well as
advanced tickets to the WHEEL INN.
We can’t continue to make
improvement if the $$ isn’t available.
We have not & will not borrow $$ to
make upgrades so donations is the
only way this can continue. We have
had 4 years of growth in attendance
& showed an actual profit last year for
the 1st time in about a decade so let
keep this ball rolling everyone!

SOUTHEAST CHAPTER NEWS.
I found this on Facebook. Saint
Croix Valley Riders is a Motorcycle
Rights Organization who support
ABATE in a big way. This group has
a large membership on the
Minnesota/Wisconsin boarder. I
have met many of their members at
different functions over the years
and am always amazed at their
vitality in support of motorcyclist
rights. This article is by the vice
prez of SCVR.
Advice from the Vice by Randy
Holland
Here we sit and another summer is
in full swing, people everywhere
going here and there, their lives
filled with work, friends, and family
functions, and the very occasional
day to unwind. Seems like the same
story repeated again and again,
year after year but with one small
detail. There are fewer and fewer of
the days off with even less of the
people we used to share them with.
It has only been 22 hours since our
election meeting on Sunday where
we spent a large portion of our time
speaking out about how we need to
be safer riders out there on the
open road. It has also been only 22
min. into Mondays workday since I
received a call stating we lost 3
more of us to motorcycle crashes.
This is something we cannot ignore
nor can we just leave it up to
someone else to take care of. Every
one of these "statistics" is a friend,
father, mother, sister, brother to
somebody in this world. This
summer there will be people who
roll over in bed looking for their
loved ones who won't be there, or
walking by an empty room where
someone should be waking up to
start a new day. When do we stop
making "statistics" out of our lives?
When do we stop using numbers
and start using names and faces?
These are real people with real
families. I think of them.....and so
should you. The bulk of what this
organization stands for revolves
around safety and rider training for
our members, we know it and most
of us use it, and it has worked to
keep us from being a "statistic".
Why stop at just ourselves? This
cycle of friends, families and
funerals has to end. If you have
read this I hope it has struck a
chord with you. Remember the
people we have lost already and
think of the people we can help.
Just being a member now is not
enough. If you value the people
around you then use your
membership as a tool. Get involved
and get them involved as well. Put
yourself out there and make a
difference. Life is too short and too
precious to throw away. Stop
worrying about the small petty
issues and start making a
difference. When somebody asks
you what the Saint Croix Valley
Riders stands for, you should be
able to say I am part of something
special, a group that looks out for
all of us. I am part of the solution,
and you should be as well. This has
and always should be our call to
action without hesitation. It amazes
me how much time and effort is
expended on meaningless social
topics while our own brothers and
sisters continue to die needlessly.
The Saint Croix Valley Riders is not
a social club. We all joined to be a
part of a group to make a
difference. Individuals are easily
overlooked, but a large group of
determined people can be a moving
force that can make that difference.
Let’s stop these statistics in their
tracks, these are our own people
we are fighting for.

Special Guest: Sioux
Falls
City
Councilman Kenny Anderson, Jr. was a
guest speaker at our meeting. The main
topic of discussion was the focus on loud
pipes by the Sioux Falls Police. The main
issue is the street racing occurring on 57th
Street in Sioux Falls. There have been many
noise complaints & a some serious accidents
in the area.
Sioux Falls police will be setting up
testing stations for all interested parties to
test their pipes. There will be no tickets
issued.
The mayor, council & police do not want
to start a negative action on the Sioux Falls
biking community. The biking community is
extensive & support the community.
If there are issues, he urges to keep the
lines of communication open. The City
Council will work on issues that arise.
Currently, the ordinance states any tests
louder than 80db, will receive a ticket.
Research will be done to see what other
cities ordinances are & look into stock
Harleys already testing above the 80db
limit. It was brought to Kenny's attention
that the Sioux Falls Police bikes break this
ordinance as well.
One of the committees of the City
Council will take a look at this policy.
FREEDOM FLYER
Testimonies may be asked for. They will
look at changing this policy to be more in
line with what is out on the streets. Testing
procedures will also be reviewed.
The issue with the sensitivity of the stop
light triggers is also being addressed. When
a change is being made to the intersection,
more sensitive sensors are being installed.
Much thanks to Councilman Anderson for
taking time to speak with us! We look
forward to working with you on this issue &
getting information available to all in the
motorcycle community.
Dave's advise: In the city limits, keep
things toned down until we get more
information on how this ordinance will be
enforced.
When Councilman Anderson was leaving
the room, someone brought up an issue of
big trucks leaving gravel on West 12th
street. This issue was taken care of by 11am
the next day. Thanks Kenny!
