PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
RIMA President, Paul Bond continues to recover from some medical issues that requires some time away. In the interest of personal privacy, we will not get into the details but can report that he is making steady improvements and getting better day by day. We hope you will join us as we continue to pray for his full recovery and be back at the helm of this organization sooner rather than later.
Now that the weather has turned in our favor for riding this Fall, We can look forward to the warm days and cool nights. Soon the leaves will be changing, and the colors will be fantastic this year. Enjoy the ride and of course watch out for the condition of the roads and the leaf peepers not looking out for us.
In October RIMA presents our Annual TOY RUN. The date for the Run is October 18, 2026. Assembly at West Bay Community Action Center, 487 Jefferson Blvd. Warwick RI, kick stands up at 11:30 AM Sharp. Destination will be Kingston Bowl 6125 Post Road, North Kingston RI, open from 12 PM until 4PM, exclusively for riders with toys and toy donors. Thanks to the generosity of our motorcycle community here in Rhode Island. Let’s have another outstanding turnout for the Children for Christmas again this year.
As this election season ramps up and the mudslinging from all parties gets dirtier and dirtier, RIMA remains committed to a nonpartisan motorcycle focused effort and look forward to working with any elected officials that are willing to work with us. Over the last several years RIMA has had a very good relationship with the leaders and legislators of the State Senate and House, as well as with Governor McKee and his office and look forward to the same in the near future. It is important to note that the landscape has and will continue to change. House Speaker Shekarchi, was a great friend and advocate for freedom of choice, as was Senate President Ruggeiro before his unfortunate passing. With New leadership comes uncertainty, but also great opportunity. Please choose wisely.
Without RIMA there would not be a unified voice for motorcycle riders at the State House. Thank you to all of our members past and present for your support. Together we make a difference for safety education and legislation in R.I. We look forward to another 50 years of success. Our success depends on you JOIN RIMA TODAY help us help you.
Our next RIMA meeting will be on 09/15/2026 @ 7pm. 9 Lincoln Ave. Coventry RI.
Ride safe Ride Free.
Bud,
