CALLING ALL BIKERS
October 7, 2006, a COBB member & firefighter “Robin Stanley Burton Jenkins” was hit and killed by an SUV driver on Osceola Parkway in Kissimmee. The driver claimed the sun was in his eyes and didn’t see him. After hitting him, he said that he thought his transmission was acting up and continued to run completely over him and the motorcycle dragging them for nearly 2 blocks. The driver got off scot free for this act of vehicular homicide while his family ended up with virtually nothing. Fair? ? ?
We have several other members surviving crashes where the motorist claimed they didn’t see them. Now the lawmakers are trying to pass a law that all bikers must carry PIP insurance that will virtually give a motorist the green light to run any of us over and not be responsible for a dime of medical expenses. FAIR ? ? ?
It’s time for us to stand up and be heard. Abate is doing a great job fighting for biker rights & lobbying our lawmakers. We believe it’s time to educate the public. The game plan is simple and we are asking everyone with a motorcycle to join us Saturday afternoon, May 19th for a history making ride. THE GAME PLAN & THEME:
“DO YOU SEE ME NOW?”

Yes, we will back up traffic in all directions by legally traveling 45 mph on this escorted ride of several thousand bikes. No doubt we’ll have coverage by all the media and hopefully raise the awareness of bikers on the road by the general public.
Donations Gladly accepted.
