MOTORCYCLE/POWERSPORTS MEMBERS WORKING TOGETHER FOR A STRONGER INDUSTRY BY GEORGE MULLIN NHADA DIRECTOR, SOUHEGAN VALLEY MOTORSPORTS The discussions centered on current legislation, updates from our regulatory partners and strategies for workforce development. We appreciate everyone who attended and contributed to making this event both productive and successful. We are eager to continue these discussions and further our connections at the upcoming NHADA events. NH RIDES DAY On May 4, 2024, NHADA Motorcycle/Powersports members connected with New Hampshire’s rider community. Enthusiasts from all over the state joined us for “NH Rides Day” at Manchester Community College to kick off the riding season. The NH Motorcycle Task Force worked together to host this event in early May in recognition of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Safe roadways are a cornerstone mission of NHADA and protecting on and off-road motorcyclists begins with rider awareness. TOWN HALL MEETING Earlier this year, Souhegan Valley Motorsports participated in the Motorcycle and Powersports Town Hall, hosted in the NHADA seminar room. It was encouraging to see the room filled with industry members actively engaged in meaningful discussions. We were privileged to have representatives from NH Fish & Game and the DNCR Trails Bureau join us. A special acknowledgment to Executive Director Scott Mason, Captain Michael Eastman and Trails Chief Craig Rennie for their contributions. 12
