What Are You Getting Dad for Father's Day? - Motorcycle & Powersports News

Father’s Day shopping in motorcycling families is an exciting time, as children peruse the wide array of gift choices for one special rider. This year, Father’s Day is June 15.

Whether Dad likes chrome or leathers or the latest technology, dozens of options are available for motorcyclists today. And motorcycling fathers are pretty easy to please. If it’s moto-related, it’s hard to go wrong.

"One great option for the true motorcycling father is a membership in the American Motorcyclist Association," said Rob Dingman, AMA president and CEO. "It makes dads a part of a national team dedicated to protecting and promoting motorcyclists and the motorcycling lifestyle. And if there’s one thing dads understand, it’s teamwork."

The AMA tackles threats to motorcycling and riders at the local, state, national and international level, on the street, on the trails and on the track.

To buy Dad an AMA Champion membership for Father’s Day, call (800) 262-5646. It’s just $49 a year and includes AMA Roadside Assistance at no additional cost.

The boards of the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) voted unanimously to appoint Scott Schloegel as acting president and CEO of the associations. Diana Sanchez was appointed acting chief operating officer.

Schloegel and Sanchez, whose appointments are effective immediately, will also continue to serve in their current roles as senior vice president of government relations and vice president of operations respectively. The interim leadership was selected to ensure a seamless transition as the associations’ search committee continues to conduct a comprehensive review of the position of president and CEO, and a subsequent search to replace outgoing President and CEO Erik Pritchard.
