Local 28 Freedom Of Road Riders

05/17/2026

A strong motorcycle rights organization doesn’t run on its own — it takes dedicated members working together to protect the freedoms of all riders across Missouri.

Central Committee meetings play a vital role in keeping our organization moving forward. These meetings help guide operations, support locals, discuss legislative concerns, plan events, strengthen membership efforts, and ensure our mission continues to serve the motorcycle community.

Every discussion, every report, and every decision helps keep the voice of Missouri riders strong. When members come together with purpose and passion, we continue building a united organization that fights for motorcycle rights, education, awareness, and freedom on the road.

Thank you to everyone who dedicates their time and effort to keeping our mission alive. Together, we continue to protect the rights of today’s riders and future generations.
