FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Jeff Hennie, MRF Vice-President of Government Relations jeff@mrf.org (e-mail)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently held its quarterly motorcycle safety network meeting, and as always the MRF was in attendance. This meeting was like most of its kind in the past. All of the relevant government agencies had representation, as did Harley-Davidson, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), the American Motorcycle Association (AMA), the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), and the National Association of State Motorcycle Safety Administrators (SMSA).
Vicky Sanfelipo from Wisconsin was granted a portion of the MRF's time during the meeting to present about Accident Scene Management Inc. ASMI prepares first responders in motorcycle-specific procedures. Many emergency response agents have little or no training with regard to motorcycles, which we all agree has its own set of characteristics from any other type of vehicle mishap, and more education for our first responders is key.
From MRF E Mail New, Motorcycle Riders Foundation… The Motorcycle Riders Foundation, incorporated in 1987, is a membership-based, national motorcyclists' rights organization headquartered in Washington, DC. The first motorcyclists' rights organization to establish a full-time presence in Washington, DC, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation is the only Washington voice devoted exclusively to the street rider. The MRF established MRFPAC in the early 1990s to advocate the election of candidates who would champion the cause of rider safety and rider freedom.
