March Message from the President

All of the sudden we notice the days are getting longer, the weather is starting to get milder and the itch to ride is on. Everyone will make the decision of when to hit the roads based on their comfort and skill level despite May being the traditional official welcome back to the roadways month. Things to always keep in mind though are how this time of year can affect your safety which includes:
  • temperature of the roads affect your tires and their traction
  • what is under that puddle of water, could very well be ice and just watch for ice in general
  • gravel....everywhere there will be gravel
  • vehicle drivers won't be used to seeing you yet
There are more tips but these 4 should be at the forefront of your mind when you are out riding in those early days.

With that said, our official kick off to the riding season and 5th annual campaign launch will be held on Sunday May 3 this year in both Edmonton and Calgary. We will be posting more details regarding both events in the coming weeks through social media and our website. It will be our first year that we hold this event in Calgary as well and we couldn't be more excited to do so!

This month we are excited to partake in the Chili Cook-Off that Heritage Harley Davidson is putting on between 11:00 and 3:00! Come on down on March 21 and get your fill of chili in the competition! We will have AMSS swag available as well!

Thank you all for your continued support. Please remember to #RideSmart, #RideSafe and #ThinkBike and help us reduce motorcycle related injuries and fatalities!
