PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
3/01/2025
In January the Legislative session started on 1/07/2025 at the State House. RIMA was there there to greet our Legislators. To see our friends and to welcome the new Legislators that will be starting this year.
We will be following all bills that may affect Bikers here in Rhode Island. Ready to respond as needed both for good bills that will help us. Or to oppose
Bills that will negatively affect us also.
Rima had a Bill introduced by Rep. David Bennett. The Bill is for Lane Filtering to allow the motorcycle to slowly move between cars for safety.
The Bill had 10 sponsors and a lot of positive feedback from committee when I testified for the bill. Held for further study along with all other bills for now.
As we move closer to our riding season extra caution should be your priority for safety. Roads are still bad and cars are not looking for us.
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 03/18/2025 @ 7pm.
At Road Rangers Club House 9 Lincoln Ave. Coventry RI..
Ride safe Ride Free.
