Sooner State ABATE Sentinel - Volume 3 Issue 2
The Biker Community demands Justice regard-
ing the horrific May, 2015Waco Incident, where
9 were killed, with many arrested. Hundreds of
indictments are pending relative to organized
criminal activity. A number of non-indicted riders
are suing. Civil Rights Lawsuits regarding this
event(i.e. false arrests) must be filed by May 17.
NCOM continues to investigate in conjunction
with TXCOC&I. Attorneys will keep Bikers in-
formed on developments at the upcoming 2017
NCOM Convention in Reno NV. Go to www.txco-
cinews.com Texas’ Legislative Session two-year
progress includes passing SB754, the Motorcycle
Safety Fund Bill Implementation. Twenty percent
of renewal fees go to Motorcycle Safety/Share
the Road Programs. Unfortunately, SB449 also
passed, classifying “Autocycles” as Motorcycles
for registration purposes. This will continue to be
a thorny issue. Texas ABATE’s 2017 Goals high-
light: Addressing Motorcycle Profiling and educat-
ing riders of their rights; proactively emphasizing
federal noise ordinance attention; repealing the
Autocycle Registration Law and redefining Auto-
cycle Classification; and authoring new legisla-
tion dealing with malfunctioning Red Lights and
“Lane Splitting”. Check out www.texasabate.com
