Greetings Region 3A!

 

We held our monthly meeting June 7th, at the Windmill. The meeting started things off with the Pledge, MOS and welcoming of members/guests. In Communications, the next three meetings are on 07/12/26, 08/02/26, & 09/13/26. Reminder, the July meeting will be the 2nd Sunday to allow for the 4th of July, along with the September meeting due to Labor Day. The Regional Election will be at the September meeting. Nominations should be made at the July meeting so the information can be available in the August newsletter. The only position elected in the Region is for the Regional Representative for 3A. All other officers are appointed. Products, products are available at https://www.abatewis.org/shop.

​

Safety/Share The Road. In Safety, numbers were given on motorcycle crashes reported in Wisconsin up to the meeting date, along with fatalities. At that point statistically they are done for the year comparatively, but we are just getting into peak riding season. Please do your part to help keep the numbers low. Ride your ride and within your abilities. Share The Road, any leads or suggestions on where to hold a class, please contact Cat.

​

In Legislative, with the Senate and House out of session, there is not much to report about. It is an election year in Wisconsin, and with all of the 250th celebrations going on around the area, there is a good chance you will see candidates out “Politicking” around our Region. Please do the research on the candidates to see what their views are on motorcycling. Don’t forget to vote on August 11, 2026 (Primary) and on November 3, 2026 (General election).

​

Onto Membership. Do you attend events outside the motorcycle community? These gatherings are valuable opportunities to educate the public about issues such as fuel choice, internal combustion engines, the decline of small repair shops, and the right to repair. Many attendees, and even some motorcyclists, may not realize how these issues affect their everyday lives. In Treasury, Rachel reviewed the May report, giving the amount of money in and out. In Old Business, just a reminder to keep track of the arrival of your newsletter.

​

In New Business, We talked about the details on the 23rd Annual Buck Kittredge Ride to Remember. This year we also honored the memory of our friend and member Patrick Murphy (1952-2025). The Ride started at South Chase Saloon in South Chase, went onto Brookside Cemetery, The Garage in Oconto, Legends Trailside in Suring, and ended at The Corner Pocket in Oconto Falls. We would like to thank all of the establishments for their kind donations, their staff, and support of the ride. Another thanks goes out to all of the participants of the ride, along with everybody who helped along the way to help make this another successful ride. We will be using this event as our once-a-year donation to another cause, going to the Oconto County Veterans’ Memorial in Oconto, WI.

​

Calendar of Events, we have finished our schedule of events for the year. Please support the Triple C Riders’ River Cities Charity Ride on 07/11/26 starting at Applejacks in Marinette. Registration is from 9-10:30 am with the ride leaving at 11 am.

Good and Welfare, hopefully everyone had a great Summer Hummer! Happy 250th Anniversary to the United States of America!
