Forwarded Email from the President of the Piasa ABATE Chapter Regarding Grafton and the River Road

Hello Piasa, (My ABATE Chapter)

It's Hoop (President)! Word has it that the I.S.P. And Jersey County
are going at it again. The River road and around Grafton, IL are
being targeting again this year. Especially during Memorial Day and
throughout our riding season.

So be Safe this year.....

But if for some reason, you do get stopped, please let me know. We
are keeping track of the number of motorcycles being stopped and for
what reasons.

Please send me documentation with the following information:

1. Occurrence time

2. Occurrence date

3. Occurrence place (IE, county, city, and state)

4. Officers name and badge number.

Our main goal is to see if motorcycles are being profiled. If you
hear of any other bikers being stopped that are not ABATE members
please give them my e-mail and have them drop me a line also.

My e-mail is: hoop1945@yahoo. com

Please put in the subject line ticketed.... .

I thought that this was worth sending to all who may ride Illinois
roads. They are looking at add-ons, pipes, noise. If you go, have
your paperwork in order. Above all, Be Polite.

We also are doing a Boycott of Grafton. Meaning, if you are running
the River road through the town of Grafton, IL, please just ride through the
town. We want to let them know that if we aren't welcome, neither is
our money. No loud pipes, No erratic behavior, Just ride through.

Thanks, Crazy
