How Did SMARTER Start?This association was started by a group of people who ride a wide variety of brands and styles of bikes and who have common interests in the value of research, education, and skill training related to proficient motorcycle riding and risk-reduction measures. We strive to wear high-quality, motorcycle-specific riding gear. We are NOT a single model or brand social organization (like Gold Wing Road Riders or BMW Owners Association). NOR are we a biker-rights/freedom advocacy group like ABATE. Many of us do, however, belong to other motorcyclist organizations like these because they represent our interests in other areas of motorcycling. Currently, the voice heard from most often as representing motorcyclists is the voice of ABATE or similar organizations. SMARTER believes other voices need to be heard. In Michigan, the state in which SMARTER is incorporated, ABATE represents less than 1% of the 495,000 licensed motorcyclists. Other states are similar.
