What is Freedom Of Road Riders®

Freedom Of Road Riders® (FORR®) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting safety, brotherhood and freedom for all motorcyclists.

FORR® membership is made up of motorcyclists from all walks of life, who ride all types of motorcycles and with all sorts of interests.   Whether your interests center around legislative activities, motorcycle shows, charity events or motorcycle rallies; FORR® has something to offer you.

Members belong to one of the largest motor-cycling related organizations in the state of Missouri, with Local affiliates throughout the state.

FORR® is different from most motorcycle organizations in that persons who ride ANY motorcycle or who support our freedom to ride without riding themselves can join.  So regardless of whether you ride a Honda or Harley, a moped, dirt bike or an automobile, if you love motor-cycling or would like to support the right  to ride, you belong in Freedom Of Road Riders®.

Since its inception, Freedom Of Road Riders® has had an impact on motor cycling in Missouri.  Some of the issues FORR® has been involved in include:

    ü      The creation of a State Safety Program with FORR® training sites and instructors to help reduce motorcycle accidents.

    ü      The revision of Missouri's helmet law to remove the serious penalties and make them comparable to seat belt laws.

    ü      Efforts to repeal Missouri's helmet law.

    ü      Education of our legislators on issues pertaining to motorcyclists’ rights.
 

Why the Need for a Motorcyclist's Rights Organization?

                                                 
Motorcyclists, probably more than any other group, have become increasingly aware of the effect government regulations have on our daily lives.

With the recent trend of the Federal Government's turning responsibility for regulation over to the States, the need to have an impact of Missouri's legislative process to protect the rights of ALL motorcyclists has grown.  Some of the recent actions of State and local governments that infringe on the right of motorcyclists include:

    Ø      Requiring personal injury protection insurance coverage (for motorcyclists only).  This does not occur in Missouri at this time.

    Ø      Banning ALL motorcyclists from selected streets and roads.

    Ø      Outlawing certain types of motorcycles completely.

    Ø      Attempts to create "Global" standard of motorcycle manufacturers, which would outlaw any attempts to customize your motorcycle.

    Ø      Insurance regulations that allow discrimination against motorcyclists (health coverage, liability, uninsured/under-insured motorists).

Individually, motorcyclists may have a small impact on the legislative and regulatory actions described here, but collectively, motorcyclists who take part in an organized Motorcyclists Rights Organization have greater strength.  In Missouri, the organization that guards the rights of motorcyclists is Freedom Of Road Riders®.
