Ride Straight

"Ride Straight" is a national awareness campaign intended to educate motorcyclists about the dangers of drinking and riding. Developed by the American Motorcyclist Association, in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the "Ride Straight" campaign features a series of posters specifically targeting motorcyclists, fact sheets, brochures and a comprehensive resource website www.RideStraight.com. The "Ride Straight" campaign will be augmented in Spring 2004 with the release of video and radio Public Service Announcements addressing the issue of impaired riding.

CMRA

The Connecticut Motorcycle Riders Association (CMRA) is a grass roots advocacy group that is membership based and recognized as a not-for-profit corporation. Its primary purpose is to protect and advance the interests of motorcyclists in the political process. Its agenda includes improving motorcycle safety through education, motorist awareness, the defeat or repeal of all motorcycle-related legislation that is unjustifiably restrictive and improving the public's perception of motorcycling. It employs a full-time professional lobbyist. All CMRA Officers, Trustees and workers are volunteers. It publishes a newsletter and offers a Dealer Discount program to its members.

The CMBA provides an outlet for Connecticut dealers and businesses involved in motorsports to get together on common ground and work for the good of their businesses and the overall sport.
