Monday, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) joined several other members of the Washington, D.C., motorcycling community to celebrate the annual “Ride to Work Day.” To kick off the event, members of Congress rode to the U.S. Capitol to cast votes on several pieces of legislation before joining a larger ride to Arlington National Cemetery, a sacred place for all Americans.

This is the third year the Congressional Motorcycle Caucus has hosted the event, and it is growing in popularity! This year, five members of Congress participated in the event, with four leading the ride to Arlington. We are most grateful to the United States Park Police, having established their Motor Unit in 1917, for escorting the ride. The MRF thanks Representatives Tim Walberg (MI), Troy Balderson (OH), Warren Davidson (OH), Donald Norcross (NJ), Derrick Van Orden (WI) and Maria Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) for their leadership and friendship.

Vice President Jay Jackson represented the MRF at the event. Jay traveled from Indiana to participate, demonstrating the MRF Board’s commitment to the motorcycling community.

The MRF joined with representatives from the American Motorcyclist Association, Backcountry Discovery Routes, Buell Motorcycles, Harley-Davidson Motor Company, and the Motorcycle Industry Council for this fantastic event. Working with like-minded motorcycle organizations is an important part of achieving our legislative goals.

In the words of Congressional Motorcycle Caucus Co-Chair Tim Walberg, “Today was a great day!” We at the MRF couldn’t agree more. Any day you can get on a motorcycle and ride with others who truly want to make things better for all riders is indeed a great day.

couldn’t do it without you. The day started out a little foggy & cool but, that quickly changed. Video in comments.

Two weeks ago, more than 200 motorcyclists roared into Washington, D.C., from every corner of this country. They put aside their daily lives to take the fight for motorcyclists’ rights straight up Capitol Hill and into the offices of 535 members of Congress!

They didn’t come to sightsee. They came to be heard. This was not about fancy dinners and photo-ops.

- It was about the future of motorcycling.
- It was about profiling.
- It was about the right to repair and modify their motorcycles.
- It was about bad fuel policy, reckless expansion of autonomous vehicles, and lawmakers who too often view bikers as expendable.
- It was about bikers speaking and Congress hearing us loud and clear.

If you missed Bikers Inside the Beltway, don’t make the mistake of missing what comes next. The fight is getting bigger. The stakes are getting higher. And the people sitting on the sidelines are not the ones shaping the future of motorcycling.

The MRF’s 42nd Annual Meeting of the Minds is coming to Milwaukee, September 24–27, 2026, and this is your call to get in the saddle and become part of the movement.

Here are five reasons to stop watching and start participating. Here are five reasons to make your reservations now.

1. Ride for Your Rights: This isn’t just another road trip - it’s a declaration. Every mile to Milwaukee is a statement that bikers will not quietly surrender their freedoms, culture, or way of life.
2. Help Set the 2027 Legislative Priorities: Don’t complain later about decisions made without you. Be in the room where the strategy is built and the battles are chosen.
3. Stand with the Largest Motorcyclists’ Rights Movement in the Nation: Thousands of bikers. One united voice. Real grassroots muscle. This is how legislation gets stopped, changed, or passed.
4. Sixteen information-packed workshops: Get the tools to hit back, enhance your knowledge, and strengthen your SMRO. Stay ahead of the attacks on your right to ride.
5. Arm Yourself with Legal Knowledge: Rights ignored become rights lost. Learn from legal experts how to protect yourself, your motorcycle, and your SMRO from growing legal threats.

The sidelines are already crowded with people willing to complain but unwilling to act. Don’t be one of them. When riders engage, nobody else will make the decisions for us.

Grab the bars, it’s KSU and time to head into Milwaukee, ready to fight for the future of motorcycling.

Time is running out, lock in your room reservations. See you in Milwaukee.

Memorial Day

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) is forever grateful to our brothers and sisters lost defending the freedoms we cherish. Let us all take a moment to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We at the MRF wish you and yours a safe and happy Memorial Day.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” – Ronald Reagan
