What Is this?
Why Should I Attend?

Forty years ago, a handful of bikers met in St. Louis, Missouri, for one reason: <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Unity.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">That <span data-preserver-spaces="true">meeting <span data-preserver-spaces="true">was called <span data-preserver-spaces="true">“the Meeting of the <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Minds” <span data-preserver-spaces="true">and <span data-preserver-spaces="true">it is still about unity. <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Today <span data-preserver-spaces="true">the <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Meeting <span data-preserver-spaces="true">of the Minds conference is also about training, tools, and freedom. It is about using unity, training, and tools to protect the future of motorcycling.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Meeting of the Minds is about tools to maximize the training. If you work on your motorcycle, you have more than two tools in your toolbox. The Meeting of the Minds is about giving you more tools.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Meeting of the Minds is about meeting motorcyclists who love motorcycles as much as you do. It is about thought-provoking presentations. It is about sixteen well-focused workshops that add direction and more tools to your toolbox. The Meeting of the Minds is about showing motorcyclists how to transform talk into positive action against our adversaries.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Attending the Meeting of the Minds is just as <span data-preserver-spaces="true">important <span data-preserver-spaces="true">to protecting your motorcycle and your rights as it was to building unity at that first <span data-preserver-spaces="true">“meeting of the minds.”

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The journey to protect motorcycling has transcended the single-issue one-lane road of mandatory helmet laws and moved onto a thoroughfare full of switchbacks, potholes, and unguarded intersections. Outlawing sports bikes was the first pothole we hit, and it was filled quickly by the actions orchestrated by the Motorcycle Riders Foundation and stopping the enabling legislation.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Autonomous vehicles killing motorcyclists, ethanol-15 killing motorcycle engines, end-of-life directives limiting how long motorcycles can legally be worked on by licensed shops and outlawing the internal combustion engine entirely are the switchbacks and potholes in the road we travel today. <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Those issues will not go away on their own.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Unity in the common ground of protecting the future of motorcycling. <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Unity, training, and using the tools to keep the adversaries of motorcycling <span data-preserver-spaces="true">at <span data-preserver-spaces="true">bay is what the Meeting of the Minds is all about. <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Meeting of the Minds is about enhancing and protecting freedom!

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Your attendance at the Meeting of the Minds is <span data-preserver-spaces="true">important<span data-preserver-spaces="true">.
