DAIMLER'S FOLLY
THE DAIMLER'S FOLLY IS TMRA’S OFFICIAL MONTHLY PUBLICATION AND A GREAT SOURCE OF INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THE STATE OF TEXAS. CHARTERED CLUBS LIST THEIR EVENTS ON THE ASSOCIATION’S CALENDAR. THERE ARE ARTICLES ON SAFETY, LEGISLATIVE MATTERS THAT AFFECT THE MOTORCYCLING COMMUNITY AND OTHER INTERESTING ARTICLES ALL SUBMITTED BY TMRA MEMBERS.

INSURANCE
MEMBERS OF TMRA ARE OFFERED A $2,000 ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT INSURANCE POLICY AT NO COST. ADDITIONAL COVERAGE IS AVAILABLE. SOME INSURANCE COMPANIES MAY OFFER TMRA MEMBERS A DISCOUNT ON MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE.

SAFETY
IN 1975, TMRA HAD RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING INSTRUCTORS AND INSTRUCTION ON MOTORCYCLE SAFETY. TODAY, THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY MOTORCYCLE SAFETY UNIT OVERSEES INSTRUCTION PROGRAMS. SAFETY IS STILL A LARGE CONCERN FOR TMRA AND WE ENCOURAGE EVERY RIDER TO TAKE A SAFETY COURSE. MOST MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURERS AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE AMERICAN MOTORCYCLIST ASSOCIATION (AMA), AND THE MOTORCYCLE SAFETY FOUNDATION, PARTICIPATE IN THESE PROGRAMS.

LEGISLATION
SINCE ITS BEGINNING, TMRA HAS WORKED WITH THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS AND THE LEGISLATURE ON MATTERS CONCERNING ALL PHASES OF MOTORCYCLING. TODAY TMRA CONTINUES THIS EFFORT IN COOPERATION WITH OTHER MOTORCYCLE RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS TO PROTECT OUR RIGHT TO RIDE.
