Street, Off-Road And All-Terrain Vehicle Riders Unite To Fight For Their Rights In Indiana
No matter where you live or what you ride, threats to motorcycling are real. They include bike bans, land closures, motorcycle-only checkpoints, raids on funds that are supposed to be earmarked for motorcycle safety training, and health insurance policies that discriminate against motorcyclists.
ABATE (American Bikers Aimed Toward Education) of Indiana—a notfor-profit motorcyclist organization that focuses on safety, education and charity (ABATEofIndiana.org)—recognizes these threats, and recognizes that there is strength in numbers. The group has brought together street, off-road and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders to work together at the state and local levels to increase their political clout. Its leaders believe that this model of collaboration represents the future if riders want to keep their rights.
American Motorcyclist sat down with five members of ABATE of Indiana for a roundtable discussion to find out how the marriage between Indiana’s street and dirt riders came about, how it’s going and some of the biggest issues facing all riders today. Those who took part are street riders Jay Jackson and Gary Williams, ABATE of Indiana executive director and
operations director, respectively, dirt riders Roy Garrett and Al Pivonka, who were formerly with the organization D.I.R.T. (Discover Indiana Riding Trails), and street and dirt rider Dave “Frosty” Frost.
American Motorcyclist: What has kept street and dirt riders apart in the past, and why is it important for them to come together now?
Gary Williams: What we have run into—it’s more prominent on the off-road side but it applies to the on-road side too—is how much commonality they have that they don’t realize they have until they actually get to talking.
And there was a limited amount of interaction between on-road and off-road riders until we all got in the same room together and found out that our concerns are one and the same: education, safety, rights, all of these things.
And many little voices out there are just kind of a din, a background noise. But when you speak with one voice, then your concerns are much easier to get people to listen to.
Al Pivonka: I think nationwide it was really brought to light with the lead law. [The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, commonly known as the lead law, banned the making, importing, distributing or selling of any product intended for children 12
“It hit us: ‘This is silly. We should be working with the off-road riders.’”
- Jay Jackson
and under—including kids’ dirtbikes and ATVs—that contained more than a specified amount of lead in any accessible part.]
Williams: It’s kind of become the thing to ask: how many [riders] in a room started out on dirtbikes? And you see all these hands go up. Then they start talking about what they had. Then everybody’s talking about their experiences—the brotherhood grows.
Jay Jackson: I’m not really so sure that anything kept us apart—off-road vs. onroad. There was just no compelling driving force
to bring us together. I don’t think there was any true animosity that I’m aware of, even on the national front. There just wasn’t any cohesiveness.
AM: Why did the street-oriented ABATE of Indiana formally absorb the offroad group D.I.R.T. a couple years ago?
Jackson: We found a parcel of land consisting of about 400 acres in southern Indiana, about halfway between Bloomington and Bedford, with the intent of making that the home of our rally. While looking at that—the rally is one weekend a year—we wanted to know what we ought to do with it the rest of the time. And just like a ton of bricks it hit us: “This is silly. We ought to be working with the off-road riders.” It’s a segment of motorcycling we had sort of forgotten about. Fortunately, we’d never been adversaries or enemies, but we just hadn’t worked as closely together as we probably should have. With the advent of this new property, we wanted to create some trails. We hooked up with what was then D.I.R.T.— Discover Indiana Riding Trails— and the Hoosier Trail Riders. That was 2000 when we started coming together, and we’ve never really looked back. We reminded ourselves how much we liked each other and started working together on legislative activity.
Roy Garrett: Yes, because we’d needed off-road legislative work since 1972. They [the government] closed
state forests, state parks, any public land in Indiana was closed to riding in 1972. So we needed to do some legislative work and we’ve never been able to do it.
The off-road community wasn’t big enough on our own to get that done.
Jackson: They just weren’t organized in that way. And we had been working pretty aggressively on legislative activities since the early 1970s.
And actually, to give a plug to another event, part of this relationship came out of something we started about 1996—the Hoosier Motorcyclists Roundtable. It was our effort to bring together all aspects of motorcycling in the state of Indiana.
Selfishly, from ABATE of Indiana’s perspective, at that time what we really wanted to do was identify any potential conflicts. If the off-road riders, or threewheel riders or sidecar riders or whoever it is had a different thought, we didn’t want that to be unveiled on the floor of the General Assembly.
That sort of made the contact, and a couple years later we got the property and said, “Hey, can you guys help us out with this?” It’s called the Lawrence County Recreational Park.
Garrett: The reason they communicated with me so much was because I’d been involved with the Stoney Lonesome Motorcycle Club since 1972, and have been racing and establishing trails and all that. So I, as well as Gary DeLong who had been doing it with Hoosier Trail Riders, we knew what to do in the woods to get started establishing the trails.
Pivonka: D.I.R.T. now is just a name. It’s no longer an entity. We are one. It’s a “we” scenario. Basically we are ABATE members and we represent dirt riders.
AM: What were the advantages of joining together?
Williams: Al and I got to talking about their needs and their small size, and our lobbying experience. That’s when we actually started talking about formalizing the relationship.
Pivonka: Basically at that time both organizations were looking for ways to grow and the best way an organization can grow is to look outside itself.
And that theme has continued with our partnership with the ATV groups: off-road motorcyclists and ATVers working together
“The off-road community wasn’t big enough on our own to get that done.”
- Roy Garrett
within the state of Indiana to promote multiple facets—from charitable rides to competition to opening up the Hoosier Outdoor Experience—we work together closely with the ATV groups.
Jackson: It’s like street motorcyclists said a long time ago, when that little ol’ lady in the Buick pulls out of a county road in front of you, she doesn’t care if you’re riding a Honda or a Harley, you’re on a
Well, we don’t have one in Indiana. [Ohio riders] have the Wayne National Forest to trail ride in. We don’t have any of that. So that’s why we look to private properties.
At Stoney Lonesome, we own 280 acres, ABATE owns right at 400. It’s a nice big piece of property to trail ride on or have a race on or whatever, have a rally or adventure bike ride or a destination to go to. It’s a destination people ride to.
including riding a motorcycle.
So if we can get kids involved, one way to do that is through off-road. If we can get kids involved, they are, indeed, the next generation of motorcyclists, whether it’s on- or off-road. So the future of the industry and our lifestyle relies on that.
Garrett: We now have two state-owned properties. We’ve worked with the state, started probably in 1998 or ’99, through RTP [Recreational Trails Program] money that was coming to Indiana. They had to set up a governor’s advisory board, that was in the law, and we were part of that.
“It’s much clearer, much more precise, when you speak with a single loud voice rather than multiple smaller voices.”
- Al Pivonka
Redbird. I worked that all through those
Lynnville, Ind., and that’s called Interlake.
Redbird fees have been $10 per vehicle for many years. We ran the daily activities for five years, through ’08. The state has taken it over. State Parks is running it and they’re changing the fees. I would say they now, about 10 miles of single-track. We’ve probably got about 20 miles of ATV trails.
Interlake is about 3,500 acres. That’s a state facility. With RTP money, as you know, the state has to match 20 percent.
ATVs and motorcycle off-road vehicles, and they charge you $30 for three years
the money they built up to do the 20
Since the RTP funds come from nothing but off-road fuel tax and the other 20 percent came from off-road sticker funds, we [offhighway riders] paid for all of it. Not a bicyclist, not a hiker, not horse people, it was all paid for by [those who ride]

motorcycles and ATVs only.
Jackson: We acquired it, started developing it for ATV. We have about 40 miles of trails, single-track and ATV. We thought it best for everyone involved that it have its own identity.
If it was strictly the rally grounds, we thought it might not be as palatable because we are proud of the fact that this is a destination, and we’ve got families coming in from other states. We have a class A campground with water and electrical hookups, shower house, dump station, all that fancy stuff where they can come in, spend the weekend, camp, ride all day, have a fire and roast some weenies at night, and do it all again the next day.
Williams: Our vision is to use the Lawrence County Recreational Park as a showcase of how to do things right and how to interact, the educational side of it.
And the best thing was when the ATV and motorcycle people figured out that they can coexist and work together and they’re working on trail work, signage and laying out trails.
Trail Riders of America—TRA—is the active ATV group.
Pivonka: And they are ABATE members as well.
Williams: And they’ve taken a real ownership of the ATV trails and park and working with us as a group within the group.
Pivonka: The relationship began when TRA wanted to host the Miracle Trail Ride—the proceeds go to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis—on the Lawrence County Recreational Park property. The first year running that event raised about $5,000. The second year, it grew to $20,000.
And we continue to work with them not only on the trail ride but also other avenues, not only education but exposure as well as at the Hoosier Outdoor Experience.
Williams: It’s also host to the DirtBike School in Indiana, and an ATV training site.
We’re looking at putting together

Frost:
races there. I’ve seen a couple of the races there, and they were great.
AM: What are some of the biggest issues facing riders?
Jackson:
On-road, off-road, it’s there. It’s awkward. People are very strongly opinionated on either side and it’s very hard to find common ground for most of them. It’s going to continue to be an issue.
Garrett: Motorcycle Club, my home club near Columbus, Ind., we sound check. We have for the last four years. We got our sound meter from the AMA because we have neighbors. So we instituted the 99 dB limit so we wouldn’t be offending our neighbors.
Pivonka: address the sound issue, that’s another educational aspect of ABATE: To educate the clubs and racers about the sound issue.
Jackson: at in Indiana and probably a lot of the other states are also concerned with—and [one] the feds are tossing around like a hot potato—is the definition of a motorcycle. We’ve got the proliferation of all these new units right now. We’ve all pretty much embraced the Can-Am Spyder as a member of the motorcycle family—it’s got

wise, exposure was down, a reduction in fatalities alone doesn’t mean that much. What we would like to look at is the rate, the ratio in the reduction of fatalities vs.
Williams: One of our jobs as part of our educational side is to make people more aware of the importance of training like we do on the on-road side.
But with a lot of these moped-type units, it’s double jeopardy. We’re getting tagged with fatalities and crashes and all the damage yet were not getting credit for any registrations. So until they get a grip

Jackson: At the property, the Lawrence County Recreational Park, we hope to turn it into an off-road camp. The first day might be preliminary stuff like the DirtBike School, the second day get into some TREAD Lightly! stuff, then actually go out and have some on-trail experiences, and maybe turn it into a three-day camp.
We’ve heard of a program out in California where they take kids and expose them to off-road motorcycling. The understanding was if they wanted to stay in the program they had to keep their noses clean. I don’t know that we’re really looking at troubled youth with this, but there are some correlations, I think.
Frost: Dirtbikes kept me out of trouble when I was a kid.
Williams: In the back of the truck out there we have one of our [Honda]

out there with no training is just a recipe for disaster. So having access to training, affordable access to training, is very important to the continuation and future of our
And as we know, the economy where it is, state budgets have been looking for ways to cut and that’s been an issue in a lot of states.
I would like to see, on the dirt side, more training. I would like to see us develop a training system where we could bring a lot of kids certain days to train. You’ve been to the Rites of Spring [dual-sport motorcycle ride in Michigan]. You’ve seen how the CCC [Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan] does that. They have a minimum of five or six trainers there that day and they train those kids so they can use the public trails. We need to train our kids just to give them the skills just to be able to ride the trails and learn to ride their motorcycles. We can start at any level, but I’d like to see the state of Indiana—us—develop that type of a rally where we could have enough instructors to do the training.
CRF50s. We attend the Hoosier Outdoor Experience, which the DNR [Department of Natural Resources] puts on, and we take our fleet of CRF50s and work with Trail Riders of America too, and they give rides in side-by-sides and we have an area set up for little kids up to 12 years old, 80 pounds, to experience a motorcycle in a controlled environment.
They get suited up, get on, take a few laps around. We teach how to go, and go slow. We don’t teach them to ride but we give them the experience.
And also that’s one of our best motorcycle awareness campaigns—if we can get the little kids to get Mom and Dad to be aware of motorcyclists.
AM: What should riders do to help protect their right to ride?
Garrett: The best thing we can do is learn to stay on the trails. You’ve got to stay on the trails and be quiet, respect the land as well as the neighbors and other people’s rights.
Pivonka: Learn to get along.
Garrett: Learn trail etiquette.
Frost: Join a local club or an organization. That’s the only way your voice will be heard.
