Keith R. Ball, the Boss of Bikernet.com, was recently recognized by the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) and given the 2014 Award of Excellence in Communication to the Aftermarket. He has been a member of the organization since the inception of Bikernet.com, 19 years ago.

The MRF, incorporated in 1987, is membership-based national motorcyclists’ rights organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. Ball’s contribution towards the MRF cause has been through constant communication to the V-Twin industry and engaged riding enthusiasts through his highly respected Bikernet.com, the industry’s first comprehensive online community serving American Bikers and the V-twin industry. His constant updates and calls for action from the industry and enthusiasts has helped stop bad regulations and laws impeding biker freedom.

Ball said, “The MRF does a helluva job. If we, as American bikers don’t take a stand, we’ll get run over. With everyone’s help, the MRF message is heard and ultimately we keep riding. My efforts are a small price to pay for my riding freedom, but I appreciate this recognition from the MRF, and encourage everyone to participate in protecting rider’s rights.”
