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

just-completed 112th Congress.

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.
