Over the weekend of September 23-26, your Idaho Coalion for Motorcycle Safety board members Chuc Coulter, Brooke Hanso
Lane Triple, and Secretary Kim Young aended the Motorcycle Riders Foundaon Meeng of the Minds conference in Peoria, IL. Ot
Idahoans aending included Dave Cazel from ABATE of North Idaho (State MRF Rep.), Wayne Wierson (MRF Member Rep to the boar
and Jeremiah Parent (Idahos second Young Acvist Scholarship winner).
Idahoans took part in polical strategy sessions, presentaons on the Defenders Program, Riders Educaon, constuo
rights during a trac stop, and others. Wayne gave his Share the Road presentaon. Jeremiah was grilled by the aendees as a part
the Young Acvist panel. He did a great job and represented Idaho well.
A highlight of the conference was Slider Gilmores presentaon of his new project called Blue Haired Ladies, Road Alligators a
Tar Snakes; What Every Street Smart Rider Should Know. This was a fabulous presentaon about all of the things we face on the road ev
me we venture out. We need to take care of all the things we can control and be prepared for the things that we cant.
Aer a break in Sliders presentaon, MRF vice-president Jay Jackson awarded the ICMS and Idaho the Ron Shepard Saf
Award. This award was given in recognion for our eorts to improve the safety of the motorcyclists of Idaho. In the last couple of years w
have completed a video about motorcycling for the use of youth driver training, worked with our partners to get the motorist awaren
message out through the use of billboards and digital reader boards, the post card campaign, awareness rallies, right straight campaig
and much other work. At the banquet the ICMS was also given an award for our support of MRF board member, Chuc Coulter.
These naonal awards and a Young Acvist Scholarship, given to a relavely small SMRO is a testament to the dedicaon a
hard work done by the motorcyclists of Idaho.

MRF MOTM 2010By
Jeremiah "Sheepdog" Parent, Boise, Idaho
My SMRO, Idaho Coalition for Motorcycle
Safety (ICMS), nominated me for the Youth
Activists Scholarship (YAS). I was honored
to be a recipient of YAS and I was able to
attend the Meeting of The Minds in Peoria,
Illinois.
At Meeting of the Minds I met some of
the nations leading motorcyclist rights
activists and motivating educators like Kirk
"Hardtail" Willard, "Slider" Gillmore and
many more. I cannot remember the names
of everyone I met, but they all have made
an impact on me and they all have deserve
my admiration. I was inspired speaking
with them, hearing of their passion and
devotion and their motivation to help keep
motorcyclists as free as possible. One day, I
hope I can be able to continue that passion,devotion, and dedication and continue to
free more of our fellow brothers and sisters
from restrictive laws restraining us within
our happy place.
On Friday, the Youth Activists were
announced. We gave a speech to introduce
ourselves to the audience like what kind of
bike we ride, which is a 03 1200 Sportster
Custom XL. After introductions there was
an open forum where the audience asked
many questions. At times, I felt grilled by
the audience and other times I felt supportedand my input respected. There were times in
which during the grilling I was impressed
by the answers that my fellow Young
Activists Lorie Butler & Katie Gross were
able to come up with that I didnt. The last
question was what the SMROs and MROs
can do to make it easier for younger riders
to get involved. My response was that I
have no issues with my SMRO. ICMS has
been very supportive and encouraging of
myself and many others. Their doing what it
takes. When it comes to bringing in younger
riders, older riders need to not be bias. Take
the initiative and bring it to our attention, a
beverage and new age rock music always
helps. Just dont overwhelm or look down
upon us if you dont get the reaction you
want, well need time to really process the
whole picture.
On Saturday "Slider" Gilmore hosted a
general session Blue Haired Old Ladies,
Road Alligators and Tar Snakes; What Every
Street Smart Rider Should Know." Some
of the session was a refresher, but I found
it very entertaining and educating. One
thing that was surprising to learn was that a
crash victim could go into hypothermia due
to blood loss even in the summer. This is
something that I never considered, especially
in the heat of the summer. I always carry a
rst aid kit in my saddle bags, after learning
this I now carry a space blanket as well.
There were many breakout sessions and
it was hard to choose which to attend. I
attended Share the Road and Your Rights
During a Trafc Stop. "Share The Road"
was by far the session that rocked me to the
core. The pain of loss that Wayne Wierson
put out for all the world to see almost
brought tears to my eyes. I always assumed
the worst possible outcome that could occur
for me on the road would to be taken out
by a motorist, I now doubt that. To have
to have to witness your brothers brutallymurdered in one swipe of vehicle and to be
the only one to have survived could possibly
be worse than death itself. I'm not a very
religious man myself but I pray to god I
never have to experience rst hand what
Wayne has and does.
I have lots of experience working hand in
hand with law enforcement so I decided to
attend "Your Rights During a Trafc Stop".
I came to realize that there are attorneys
within the motorcycle community that are
so committed to motorcyclists rights thatthey do pro bono cases for motorcyclist in
certain circumstances.
I've always felt more at home with bikers than
"normal" people. I can connect with bikers
on a level that none other can be. Relaxing
with a drink and talking with everyone at
the conference I've come to reafrm that
there is a universal understanding within
the brotherhood of bikers. They dont care
what you ride, what color it is, or how
badly it runs. Its the fact that you ride, its
your passion, and that you do everythingthat you can to fully enjoy as much of it as
you can. Sure they might mess with you a
little bit for running with the big boys on
a little Rebel 250, but nonetheless its the
fact that you ride that matters. There is an
acceptance. Bikers are my family, my fellow
brothers and sisters, they are my own kind.
I want to thank the MRF and ICMS for this
opportunity to attend Meeting of the Minds.
I plan to carry on the tradition of protecting
the rights of our fellow motorcyclists.

A Texans Appreciaon for Idaho HospitalityReprint from a run report submied to The Warrior
While on the road late this summer, I had the honor and pleasure of experiencing the Friendship Run in the biker friendly town
Orono, Idaho. The townsfolk there are down home good-as-gold and really treat you like family. The run was sponsored by Idahos thr
bikers rights organizaons. They are: ABATE of Idaho, the Idaho Coalion for Motorcycle Safety (ICMS), and the ABATE of North Idaho. I
impressive how those three ne organizaons put together that run year aer year and work with each other to keep Idaho free. Idaho
kind of like Texas: its a big state and theyre hundreds of miles away from each other. ABATE of Idaho is largely around Pocatello and t
southeast, ABATE of North Idaho is several chapters in the northern panhandle, and ICMS has members throughout the state, organizing
the polical and judicial acons in their capital (Boise) that have kept Idaho free for more than 20 years.
At the Friendship Run, there were bike games, food donated and prepared by ABATE of Nothern Idaho members, vendors, a poker waone day and a poker run the next, karaoke Friday nite, door prizes, dancing with a live concert by Road Houz on Saturday night, outstand
CMA services by Pastor Ernie too early Sunday morning, a motorcycle parade and visit to the local senior cizens home.
My righteous bros and sisters in Idaho remind me of bikers in Texas and other places I lived. ABATE of Idaho and ABATE of North Idaho a
just like the ABATE Confederaon of Texas and the US Defenders combined, always ready to ght for bikers rights. And ICMS is like TMR
TMRA2, BOLT and MMA all rolled up into one, leading the ght for our biker rights. The Republic of Texas salutes the three ne organizao
of bikers in Idaho, keeping it free and real.
There is Freedom in the Wind.
