MRF/Lucas Oil Bike Sweepstakes Winners Announced

At the close of a very successful 23rd Anniversary of the Motorcycle
Riders Foundation (MRF) Meeting of the Minds in Cedar Rapids, Iowa the
highly anticipated drawing for the donated MRF Lucas Oil sweepstakes
custom bike was held September 22nd.

The winners are MRF and ABATE of Colorado members Jim and Renee Clark of
Colorado.  They were not present, however the large contingent in
attendance from ABATE of Colorado represented them well.  Pictures of this
group as well as a photograph of the winners receiving the keys and the
bike will be available on our website (www.mrf.org) shortly and in the
upcoming issue of the MRF Reports. The very entertaining call to the
winners recorded live to inform Jim and Renee of their new addition can be
heard on www.inbradio.com in the first week of October.

During a call the next day between MRF President Kirk "Hardtail" Willard
and Jim Clark in order to arrange pickup, Hardtail jokingly asked Jim if
he thought he could handle the 140HP fire breathing S & S powered custom
pro street bike and Jim replied by stating he was sure he could since it
would be parked next to his 190HP drag racing bike.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation would like to once again thank the
following people and companies who played a major role in this
sweepstakes: The Lucas Family and Lucas Oils, Lucas Cycles and the build
team led by Master Builder James Crain, Easyriders and V-Twin magazines
and Bike Shows, Michael "Balls" Farabaugh of Michael Farabaugh Studios and
Lucas Oils, DRM Framelock, the MRF Lucas bike transportation team, and to
John Pierce, Deb Butitta, Marc Falsetti, Miles France, Eric Hampton, and
Sarah Muckenhoupt of the MRF for all their hard work to pull this off.

And lastly we would like to thank all of our MRF members, our MRF State
Representatives, and to all of our State Motorcycle Rights Organization
partners who embraced and promoted this program so well. In recognition of
your efforts we are pleased to announce that today our membership stands
at an all time high.
