COALITION OF INDEPENDENT RIDERS

"The most powerful weapon is the human soul on fire"
-Thomas Payne-

We understand that it takes more than members of motorcycle clubs and riding associations for the true voice of all motorcyclists

to be heard in the States capital’s across America.
The Coalition of Independent Riders (C.O.I.R.) unites independent riders with other motorcycle organizations when manpower and

boots on the ground are needed to address a “Call to Action” (CTA) that affects all of us in the motorcycling community. A ‘CTA’

can be legislative, judicial, or community outreach during times of disaster. Participation in a ‘CTA’ is not mandatory.
The C.O.I.R. is not a motorcycle club, motorcycle rights organization, or a motorcycle association the CO.I.R. is not membership

funded. There are no annual dues, or meetings to attend, we only ask you to participate in an occasional ‘CTA’ so our voices are

heard in unity.
The C.O.I.R. is a registration of independent riders from all walks and rides of the motorcycle community. Independent riders

registered with C.O.I.R. are men and women, independent cruisers, sport and dirt-bike riders, and even non-riders who understand

that protecting our Constitutional rights is everyone's responsibility. The time has arrived when all motorcyclists should come together

in solidarity to Defend the Constitution of the United States and protect our “Right to Ride”. Register as an independent rider with

C.O.I.R. and take you place in motorcycling history.

Attend US Defenders/C.O.I.R. training and Call-to-Action seminars and help organize and register other independent riders in your

area with C.O.I.R. Do your part to keep motorcycling a true expression of freedom!
I call on all of you to do your part, let your voice be heard, and support your Right to Ride.

Respectfully

"Questions & Answers"

Q. Do I need to belong to a motorcycle club or riding association to be a part of the C.O.I.R.?
A. No, the C.O.I.R. is not an organization but an affiliation of independent motorcyclists who are prepared to do their part in helping to keep motorcycling a true American expression of freedom.

Q. Is the C.O.I.R. a motorcycle rights organization or MRO?
A. No, the C.O.I.R. is not a MRO or a member "funded" type organization. However, some MRO's play a very important role in helping to identify and design the "Fight for our Rights" type campaigns that the C.O.I.R. support with manpower.

Q. What is a "Call-to-Action?"
A. When a MRO or a "rights" association needs support to help implement approved grass roots strategies such as letter writing to legislators, the C.O.I.R. will be called upon to assist with the manpower to help implement the "Action." The C.O.I.R., working in concert with M/Cs and riding associations and local offices of Emergency Management is also prepared to offer post disaster assistance to needy families and individuals if called upon to do so.

Q. Who are the US Defenders?
A. US Defenders are men and women from the Confederation of Clubs and the C.O.I.R. who volunteer to represent their different clubs and groups. The US Defenders receive training in grass roots strategies and then take that training back to their clubs and groups. Find out more about these dedicated men and women by attending a regional COC or NCOM meeting in your area.

Q. How does the Confederation of Clubs (COC) or the National Coalition of Motorcyclists (NCOM) and the Coalition of Independent Riders (C.O.I.R.) work together?
A. NCOM is the parent organization of all Regional COC's and COM's and working together with the CO.I.R. We can make a difference!
