PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
4/26/2024
Now that we are all out and about with the good weather I hope to see everyone more often. The road construction
everywhere makes riding a bit of a challenge at times and unsafe to say the least. Be extra careful in order to get home safe
and in one piece.
RIMA will Honor our Veterans again this year on Memorial Day with our ride from Warwick to the Veterans Cemetery
in Exeter RI. Check our Event calendar for the details of time and starting point.
The legislative Calendar at the Statehouse has been quite full this year with bills that RIMA has been following and
testifying on. Thanks to Cam Bigelow our secretary for following all bills and sending in our testimony as needed for the Bills
that help us keep our freedoms here in RI. Look for his weekly updates on our face book page to stay current.
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 next Rima meeting is Tuesday 5/21/2024 at 7pm.
