PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The
American Motorcyclist Association, advocating for motorcyclists'
freedoms, honored four Illinois congressmen -- U.S. Reps. Randy

Hultgren, Kinzinger, Schock and Shimkus were singled out for the AMA Government
Relations Department "Supporter" award for their outstanding efforts to support
motorcyclists and motorcycling. The congressmen were praised for the actions
they took on a variety of issues ranging from responsible motorized recreation
to the freedoms enjoyed by street riders. "Thanks to the outstanding efforts
of Reps. Hultgren, Kinzinger, Schock and Shimkus during the 112th Congress, and
the efforts of others, motorcyclists continue to enjoy a variety of freedoms
related to their sport and pastime that were under attack," said Wayne Allard,
vice president for government relations for the American Motorcyclist
Association and a former U.S. senator and U.S. representative from Colorado.
"The representatives' constituents should be proud of them for their public
service and for their support of the American motorcyclist and the freedom those
Americans enjoy," Allard said.
