“Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the true American heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedoms, including the ability to enjoy life on two wheels,” says AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “Motorcyclists throughout the country appreciate the sacrifice of our fallen service members and their loved ones for our nation.”
In addition to Memorial Day, May also is Motorcycle Awareness Month, which is the nationwide effort to increase the awareness of motorcycles on the open road and advocate for measures that improve the safety of riders on our nation’s roads and highways. While the country remembers our fallen veterans throughout the weekend, the AMA urges all motorists to remain vigilant as Americans travel to memorial services, cookouts, parks and many beautiful destinations our country has to offer.
“With the increased activity on our nation’s roadways that comes with Memorial Day weekend, we urge all motorists to use extra caution this weekend,” concludes Dingman.
