GOVERNMENT INTRUSION
Quiet Efforts To Restrict Your Freedoms
By Rob Dingman
I’ve been involved in government and politics in one way or another for more than two decades, but I still shake my head over the ability of the federal government to reach—or overreach—into our lives, and the power wielded by bureaucrats to make that happen.
As a motorcyclist, you’re probably aware of many examples, and three immediately come to mind for me, affecting street and off-highway riders. They involve ethanol in gasoline, which could damage motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle engines; the strict federal Wilderness land-use designation that bars off-highway vehicle riding; and health insurance discrimination against riders.
Concerning ethanol, let me make our position clear. The AMA doesn’t oppose ethanol in gasoline, but the AMA believes extensive testing needs to be done before E15—a new blend of gas coming on the market that is 15 percent ethanol—is approved for use in motorcycle and ATV engines.
The key for the AMA is that E15 must be proven safe for motorcycle and ATV engines. To the best of our knowledge, E15 isn’t approved for use in any original-equipment motorcycles or ATVs. In fact, its use can void many manufacturers’ warranties.
As of today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has only approved the use of E15 in model year 2001 and newer cars, lightduty trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles.
In that case, how is the federal government going to prevent motorcyclists from inadvertently putting E15 in their gas tanks or gas cans when getting gas at a ‘blender pump” with a single hose? (A blender pump dispenses different fuel blends through the same hose, so residual E15 could be left in a hose—some say as much as two-thirds of a gallon—when a motorcyclist fills up with another grade.)
Here’s where the EPA is overreaching.
Under EPA rules, you must buy at least four gallons of gas from that pump. Not one gallon. Not two gallons. Not even three gallons. Yes, the government is mandating you buy at least four gallons to dilute the residual E15 in the hose.
The simple solution, of course, is to use a different gas pump rather than a single-hose blender pump to get gas. What if that isn’t an option? Then, I guess, you’re hosed.
Regarding threats to off-highway riding, we’re finding that the federal government apparently is once again trying to usurp congressional authority to create Wilderness through administrative fiat.
Wilderness is one of the strictest forms of public land management. Nearly all forms of non-pedestrian recreation are illegal in Wilderness areas, including OHV riding. The AMA wholeheartedly supports appropriate Wilderness, which is defined in the federal Wilderness Act of 1964. The key for the AMA is that the land must meet the strict criteria contained in the law, have public support and congressional approval.
Few Wilderness areas proposed today meet the essential criteria. How is the federal government trying to keep you off your own public land without involving federal lawmakers? Simple.
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is trying to give bureaucrats in the federal Bureau of Land Management the power to manage public land as if Congress went through the public process to designate the land as Wilderness.
This is another example of the government reaching down into our lives without involving the people’s representatives in Congress.
Concerning health insurance discrimination against motorcyclists and ATV riders, the AMA position is very clear: We oppose it, period.
We thought we had that battle won after working hard to pass a federal law to end that kind of discrimination.
In 1996, Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that included language prohibiting employers from denying health-care coverage based on a worker participating in legal activities such as motorcycle and ATV riding.
But when federal bureaucrats wrote rules to implement the law, they reversed the intent of Congress.
The AMA has recently received a flood of emails from employees of a Pittsburgh company that is adopting a new health plan next year that won’t cover injuries sustained while riding a motorcycle.
This is an example of where federal bureaucrats have overreached, and the actions could be financially devastating to a motorcyclist who could get saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills.
We’re fighting to protect your right to ride and race, serving as a watchdog on Congress, and government agencies and bureaucrats. And that goes for racing as well as transportation and recreation.
Of course, the more members we have, the more political clout we have. That’s why I am asking you to bring a friend or family member into the AMA tent. Ask that rider to join the AMA to protect the future of riding. Or give an AMA membership as a gift.
Just go to www.americanmotorcyclist.com or call (800) AMAJOIN (262-5646).

THE PAST COMES ALIVE
AT AMA VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE DAYS
Every summer at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, motorcycling’s past comes alive at the country’s grandest celebration of classic bikes and the people who love them: AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days.
VINTAGE MOTORCYCLEDAYS
AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days delivers a full program of two-wheeled thrills that includes racing on asphalt and dirt, classic bike shows, indepth seminars, demo rides, a vendor row and caps it off with North America’s largest motorcycle swap meet. The rolling fields surrounding Mid-Ohio are packed with riders, racers, restorers and fans of all ages, riding motorcycles from all eras.
This year, on July 20-22, two of motorcycling’s most iconic genres were showcased: the British café-racer motorcycles and Italian metal-bodied scooters made popular by the self-described Rockers and Mods of the 1960s. It was one of the best AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days in memory, with excellent weather and expansive crowds packing the Mid-Ohio grounds.
Here, you’ll find a snapshot of the weekend. For a larger sample, see the gallery at www.americanmotorcyclist.com. For it all, see it in person next year. Trust us, you’ll be glad you did!

Left Annika, Ty and Ryland Jividen, from Marion, Ohio, came to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days as three generations to camp and enjoy the vintage motorcycle scene. (Grandpa was out riding when this photo was taken.)
Right George Fleiner, from Bellview, Ohio, used to shoot motocross as far back as the 1970s. Today, he’s more interested in the camaraderie he enjoys with old friends at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days and finding cool stuff in the swap meet.
Far right The best way to shop for old bike stuff is from the seat of an old bike.
Left The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame tent was ground zero for multiple bike shows during the weekend.
Far bottom AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer and noted designer Craig Vetter—whose contributions to motorcycling include the iconic Windjammer fairings and the Triumph X-75 Hurricane—was the grand marshal for this year. Vetter wowed the crowds with engaging talks and even brought his high-profile motorcycle fuel-economy contest to the event.
Below Ken and Lori Quesenberry from Delaware won second place for British Motorcycles (1970-79) in the Hall of Fame bike show with this 1974 Norton Commando.
Above, left to right In keeping with the event’s Rockers and Mods theme, Mike Seate— founder of Café Racer magazine (www.caferacermag.com) and star of the “Café Racer” television show (www.caferacertv.com) on Velocity—headed up the café contingent, and put together a great bike display. Sales were brisk. The band Highway 13 rocked.
Clockwise from below left Colleen McColgand and Geoff Myles brought their 1974 Honda CB125S and 1976 Honda CB550F from Stowe, Vt., to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days. Emcee Griff Allen interviews Alan Smith, who rode this streamliner from California’s Bay Area to compete in the Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge. Bill Crookston (right) has been attending AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days since 1999, and this year this 1966 BMW R69 restored by his dad Ronald (left) got second in the Ride ’Em, Don’t Hide ’Em bike show.
Above James Berry and wife, Debra, from North Carolina have been coming to the event for 12 years. James has been roadracing since the 1970s and loves to scratch his competitive itch with vintage racing today.
Above You don’t need a modern motorcycle to go fast. Team Pentovarna rider Derick Kemper demonstrates on this vintage Penton in the Vintage 201-250cc A class. Kemper’s teammate, Adam Giddings, was the AMA Off-Road Vintage Grand Champion.
Left Doc Batsleer, from Smyrna Beach, Fla., was an iron man roadracer at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, competing in Pre-War, Class C Hand Shift and Vintage 50s. Here he is with his 1934 Indian Bonneville Sport Scout. He has been an AMA member since 1962.
Clockwise from far top left Jason (left) and Matt Holbrook, and AMA members and brothers, come to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days each year to catch up. Eight-year AMA member Cope Beckert, 13, from Zanesville, Ohio, won his hare scrambles race then borrowed a friend’s bike to compete in the motocross. Bryant Gripp and his wife, Paulette, from Nashville, Tenn., each raced a 1988 Honda Hawk in the Gen X Superbike LW class.
Below, left to right Andy Nardone, who raced a 1972 Yamaha 360 in the vintage motocross, came with his family from Toronto, Canada. A new addition this year, the AMA Classic Field Meet drew in several riders, young and old.
Left AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer and last year’s event grand marshal Jeff Fredette returned to take care of unfinished business this year, and he did. By scoring the most points in expert-level vintage hare scrambles, motocross and trials competition, Fredette was named the 2012 AMA Senior Off-Road Vintage Grand Champion.
Clockwise from above The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club, the featured Classic Club at 2012 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, is represented in this photo by (left to right) club member Ray Bayless, club Director Peter Slatcoff and club President Tom Kolenko. Dallas, Texas’ Ryan Ambrose, who competed on vintage Triumphs, was the 2012 AMA Track Racing Vintage Grand Champion. Katherine Becker from Ypsilanti, Mich., has been coming to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days for five years. She rides a 2008 Ural Tourist.
