PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

We at RIMA want to thank everyone that helped with the Toys For Tots Motorcycle Run, Especially the RI Coalition of Clubs who give there
expertise and time to make the run a success. Thank you to all who attended and brought toys for the children for this Christmas season.
As we all look forward to the holiday season here in Rhode Island Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before you know it. Our riding season
is coming to a close shortly when the snow starts to fly and the temperature drops. Those of us that still ride during the cold have to bundle up
and watch for ice. Drivers of cars will not think that motorcycles will be out when the cold hits, we need to be extra aware of this fact.
Without RIMA there would not be a unified voice for motorcycle riders at the State House. Thank you to all of our members past and present for your support. Together we make a difference for safety, education and legislation in R.I. We look forward to another 50 years of success. Our success depends on you JOIN or renew membership with RIMA TODAY help us help you.
Our next RIMA meeting will be on 11/18/2025 @ 7pm.
9 Lincoln Ave. Coventry RI..
We wish everyone a happy and healthy Holiday Season Thanksgiving and Christmas especially this year when it is needed most.
Ride safe Ride Free.
