Thanks Steve for setting up this tribute to our friend Mikey. Mikey was a member of our Ann Arbor American Hog Chapter. I think he was there when I joined in 1994. He was a great guy and he will be missed by many. We had been on trips with Mikey and we always had good times. We are so sad about the way his life was cut short by a drunk driver.

Do I understand correctly that you are an Abate member as I am also. I have been an officer in Hog, Abate and AMA. You guys have more luck riding free there as we have a dictator for a governor who twice now has vetoed our helmet modification bill.

Thanks again

Thanks for stopping by and keeping an eye on things. Someone needed to make sure that this case did not fall out of view and I am honored to do that.

I am a member of Abate of Wisconsin www.abatewis.org which has had a big effect on motorcycle rights and education here. We have been working hard on motorcycle right of way violations which claim many lives every year.

Thanks

Steve
