  • A New Alabama MAC Chapter?

    At the meeting this weekend in Blue Springs, I mentioned my desire to start a local chapter of the MAC an organization that originated in Louisiana that promotes safety and awareness of motorcycles. There was a good discussion of this and how it could becoe an initiative of the BMW MOAL. I mentioned I would post some information about this so that all could learn about it. Stay tuned for more information as we go. If you would be interested in supporting this effort, please let me know!

    MAC stands for Motorcycle Awareness Campaign. MAC is a 501 (C)3 organization that seeks individual annual memberships of $15 each as well as corporate and state sponsorships. These funds are used to further motorcycle rider education and purchase billboard, radio and TV advertising with the goal of educating the motoring public on how to operate around motorcycles. All the monies raised locally stay with the local chapter and are put to work!

    This program is now seven years old and has made great strides for safety in LA. MAC has even gotten personalized license plates made available for bikes and cars in LA with all the money going toward the effort. MAC is a structured program with definate goals, a great track record and has made a difference in motorcycle safety.

    My hope is that our club would adopt this program as an initiative so that we can make a real difference for riders. Again, stay tuned for more information. Please visit the MAC website www.macorg.com for more information. Let me know what you think and how you might like to help!

        This sounds like a great idea Vance. With you starting it here in Alabama, I guess we can call you MAC Daddy!
