ABATE of New York, Inc. AIMS & PURPOSES
Hello to all from the Ontario County Chapter. Spring is in the air here with some warm days. We hear bikes rumbling down the roads on those sunny days. Let's make sure to be careful out there. We are past our annual swap meet. It went well with vendors selling parts to jewelry, other groups, learn2ride. Thank you to those vendors and all that passed through the doors. Also a special thank you to the Inn on the Lake in Canandaigua for allowing us their venue again this year. One vendor was Bruce LePorte, president of the “Traveling Memorial Wall for Fallen Bikers” You will find more information about the wall at www.bikerwall.com. From our conversation with him we have learned he and his group has taken over what Scott and Bill started with the education and awareness program. We also learned there is a fifth panel in the works as of the writing here and Scott's name is on that panel. As I read through these four panels I could not help but feel the brotherhood and sisterhood being a biker means. What else is going on here? Looking to the Freedom Rally in May. We are working hard on our run for the summer. That will be Sunday June 12th. And we are making it different including a chicken BBQ. A motorcycle show with the Phelps Sauerkraut Festival, the first weekend in August, and a Memorial ride to mention a few. You will have to keep up on the website at http://abatenyontario.20m.com or look us up on facebook.
Be safe out there and we will see you on the road, from Ontario County Chapter

by Don Richer – State Legislative Coordinator
Schoharie Chapter would like to see if we can mention in
May newsletter that we are a newly formed chapter looking for members to grow so if there are any members at large in outlining counties or towns without a chapter we would be glad to have them come over with us. Also would like to thank Scott Ryan,John Tichy,Bob Boellner (prospector),chris werder,Andrew Liuzzi and Tammy ware for helping us get started.
Thanks Len Miller-Pres. Paul Maurice-
VP
Just a little FYI - Senator Funke has proposed Senate Bill S6748 as a draft of Creto/Kade's Law - and Assemblyman Bill Nojay is following up with Assembly Bill A9291 as a co-sponsor to Funke, Young, Amedore's S6748. We are making progress. As a side-note - the Senate Bill is being introduced to the District Attorney's Council - Statewide - to include ALL District Attorney's for precise charges, fines, sentencing. Two of us have been asked to stand-by for the tentative meeting on April 1st to present our position with consideration of the Senate Bill. As I said earlier - huge strides. As of our last meeting of New Yorkers Enacting Creto/Kade's Law Committee - we discussed AMA, MRF and ABATE of NY, Inc's support and recognition. Other than being given the opportunity to speak with some groups and garnering some support we have, as Creto/Kade's Law, fought this fight on our own. I asked ABATE of NY, Inc. to get on board because I believe in what we're fighting for and I thought it would be a great victory for ALL involved, like; NY'ers Enacting Creto/Kade's Law and ABATE and yes, even the AMA...but as of right now, when this becomes legislation - the ONLY group that will receive mention is NY'ers Enacting...and a thank you to those that believed in us and supported us.Andrew W.

Prevention and Injury MitigationPatricia A. TurnerResearch ScientistTexas A&M University College Station, TexasE-mail: [email protected]@gmail.comMobile: (979) 587-0307&Laura HigginsAssociate Research Scientist Texas A&M Transportation Institute
Abstract This paper presents findings from research conducted to identify existing and emergingIntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies for all vehicle types, includingmotorcycles, and examine the potential application of these technologies to improve motorcyclesafety. Findings are based on a review of the existing literature, including published studies andindustry-produced reports, and compiled according to the potential of the technology to 1)prevent motorcycle crashes (crash prevention), and 2) reduce motorcyclists’ injuries incurred in acrash (injury mitigation).
Introduction Numerous Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies have been developed and adapted to improve the safety of passenger vehicles. Some of these technologies have the potential to actively prevent crashes involving motorcycles or passively lessen the severity of injuries when a motorcycle is involved in a crash. Examples include electronic stability programs; collision warning and avoidance systems; and visibility enhancing systems, amongothers. Motorcycles pose a particular problem when it comes to the technical adaptation of certain ITS systems because of the dynamics of motorcycles differ from those based on a fourwheel platform. This paper presents findings from research conducted by the Texas A&M TransportationInstitute to identify existing and emerging ITS and other advanced technologies that can potentially improve motorcycle safety. Researcher reviewed and synthesized literature, including published studies and industry-produced report, and compiled findings based on the potential ofthe technology to 1) prevent motorcycle crashes (crash prevention), and 2) reduce motorcyclists’
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Technologies for Motorcycle Crash
...injuries incurred in a crash (injury mitigation). This research was conducted as part of the larger effort to develop the Texas Strategic Action Plan for Motorcycles, 2013-2018(http://tti.tamu.edu/documents/0-6712-P2.pdf). The authors thank the Texas Department ofTransportation for funding this research.
CRASH PREVENTION The following technologies are intended to prevent run-off-road crashes, in which the vehicle driver or motorcycle rider departs a lane or roadway or the motorcycle overturns, withoutcolliding with an object or another vehicle. Electronic Stability Program-Passenger Vehicles Electronic Stability Control (ESC), also referred to as electronic stability program (ESP) or dynamic stability control (DSC), improves the safety of a vehicle's stability by detecting andreducing loss of traction. ESC allows for stability to be maintained when the vehicle runs into maneuvering that requires over-correction, under steering, or over steering. ESC is common in most passenger vehicles, but it is unknown whether the technology can be applied to motorcycles [1, 4]. Curve Speed WarningCurve-speed warning (CSW) technology warns the vehicle driver regarding anapproaching curve and its recommended speed using GPS and digital maps. Vehicles canperform additional warning actions if the actual speed through the curve exceeds therecommended speed. [2, 4].Benefit to Motorcycles: Riders would be alerted to decrease speed on an approachingcurve which can help to prevent a crash.

Lane Keeping and Departure Programs These programs use forward facing cameras to scan the roadway and determine if the vehicle is migrating toward the lane markings. All systems will vibrate the wheel to ensure thedriver is awake, while some will also lightly apply the brakes to keep the vehicle in line. These programs are currently active in passenger vehicles and are used in many car companies such asVolvo, Audi, and BMW. [3,4]. Benefit to Motorcycles: Collisions with motorcycles and other smaller vehicles could be avoided as the driver is kept from drifting into a lane and possibly causing the motorcycle to run off the road.

Roll StabilityRoll stability systems monitor the motorcycle’s speed and yaw rate (i.e., the rate at which the motorcycle is tilting away from vertical), and warn the rider if the motorcycle is in danger oftipping over [4]. Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)Adaptive Front Lighting is an emerging technology that uses the angle of the steering wheel and the speed of the vehicle to ensure that the headlight is illuminating the roadway in front of the driver. In motorcycles, the speed and angular velocity is calculated, signaling the headlight to rotate with the movement of the motorcycle [4].
Road Surface Condition Monitoring This emerging technology uses laser scanning linked to the ABS or speed limiting systems, which scans the road and alerts the driver of any potential hazard on the road’s surface. This system can be combined with information from roadside beacons or other sources of data [4].Braking SystemsAdvanced braking systems increase a driver or rider’s ability to stop quickly and safely without losing control of the vehicle or motorcycle. Anti-Lock Braking System Anti-lock braking system is an existing technology that monitors wheel speed and adjusts braking pressure evenly among wheels to ensure that the brakes do not lock when applied in an emergency situation (6). Benefit to Motorcycles: Riders are able to regain control of their motorcycles to prevent skidding or collision with an object. Brake AssistThis existing technology in passenger vehicles was developed to help prevent a collision, under sudden braking, by applying maximum pressure to the brakes (7). Benefit to Motorcycles: The combination of the brake assist and anti-lock brakes canprevent impact or the severity of motorcycle crashes. Braking motion is maintained.
Linked Braking Systems Linked Braking Systems is an existing motorcycle technology that applies pressure to both brakes simultaneously to ensure balance (4).
Collision Warning and Avoidance Systems Using radar, Collision Warning Systems monitor the forward roadway and warn the driver both audibly and visibly that they are nearing an object or vehicle in their lane. As the object gets closer, the warning becomes more intense (8).Pedestrian Detection System
This emerging technology, currently used in Volvo, uses radar sensors and data from an on-board camera, which allows the vehicle to automatically apply the brakes in order to reduce or mitigate the risk of hitting a pedestrian (9).Benefit to Motorcycles: Collisions with pedestrians and/or quick maneuvering of the motorcycle to avoid pedestrian causing spill out will be prevented.

National and Regional News
WASHINGTON, D.C. –Preventing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from regulating the conversion of street bikes and other motor vehicles into competition-only machines is the intent of recently introduced, bi-partisan legislation: the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016. H.R. 4715 (RPM Act) would create and clarify an exemption from a proposed EPA regulation for motor vehicles use solely for competition. The AMA wants language that specifically exempts competition motorcycles from EPA regulation. The RPM Act states that it was the clear intent of Congress in passing and amending the Clean Air Act that vehicles manufactured for, modified for or used in organized motorized racing events would not be included in the Clean Air Act’s definition of a “motor vehicle.” The AMA is coordinating its efforts with the Specialty Equipment Market Association and other racing sanctioning bodies to block the EPA’s proposed regulation of competition-only vehicles, including motorcycles. SEMA represents vehicle aftermarket manufacturers, marketers and distributors. Motorsports competition involves tens of thousands of participants and vehicle owners each year, both amateur and professional. The AMA sanctions more than 1,700 competition events each year.WASHINGTON, D.C. The Clear Creek National Recreation Area and Conservation Act, which would establish a national recreation area in California and reopen about 240 miles of off-highway-vehicle riding trails, was reported out of the House Committee on Natural Resources Committee on March 16 and now goes before the House for consideration. Sponsored by U.S. Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.), H.R. 1838 would allow off-road vehicles to return to the 75,000-acre Clear Creek Management Area southeast of Hollister, Calif., and establish the 21,000-acre Joaquin Rocks Wilderness area, a compromise proposal that has bipartisan support among California's congressional delegation. Clear Creek was closed to motorized vehicles by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in 2008.
The Renewable Fuel Standard volume requirements,...announced in November by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency increase the risk of inadvertent misfueling for motorcyclists and all-terrain-vehicle owners by mandating the widespread availability of higher-ethanol fuel blends, such as E15 (15 percent ethanol by volume). The practical effect of the EPA’s action is that ethanol production will exceed the “blend wall.” That means more E15 and less E10 and E0 (fuel with no ethanol) on the market. Data from the federal Energy Information Administration shows demand for E0 rose from 3.4 percent in 2012 to nearly 7 percent in 2014. Consumers want E0 for their motorcycles, ATVs, boats, lawn mowers and other equipment, because it does not pose the risk of engine and fuel system damage. Despite the increased demand, the EPA rule reduced the amount of E0 from 9.2 billion gallons to just 130 million in 2016. Most importantly, the rule mentions the likelihood of misfueling only once. The rule states: “…in June of 2011, the EPA finalized regulations to prevent misfueling of vehicles, engines, and equipment not covered by the partial waiver decisions.” This is the same misfueling mitigation plan that initially mandated a four-gallon minimum fuel purchase to address the concerns raised by the AMA. Following our complaints, the regulation eventually was revised in 2013 to the current plan, yet it is still easily misunderstood, misapplied or ignored by state governments and producers, distributors and vendors. Indeed, the EPA has made it illegal for motorcyclists and ATV users to use E15 fuel, and yet seems to have little interest in the misfueling issue. It appears that the EPA does not consider the concerns of motorcyclists and ATV owners, despite knowing that none of the estimated 22 million motorcycles and ATVs in use in the United States is approved to use E15 or higher ethanol blends.

16 Protect Yourself: Ethanol Is Killing Your Carburetor
submited by Pete Campanella It is generally accepted in the engine industry that Ethanol is bad, but what does bad really mean? Most enthusiasts have heard of the storage issues related to Ethanol blended fuels, but what is the best course of action concerning these issues? Do Ethanol additives help the problem? Recently, even the mainstream media has picked up on this growing problem such as this article that was recently posted on FoxNews.com. Let’s address each of the issues one by one, and present some viable options for dealing with these issues. FoxNews Ethanol Image Ethanol is hygroscopic. No, that is not some foot fungus. It means that Ethanol likes water. That is a great quality when you order on scotch on the rocks. However, water makes for a pretty lousy fuel. During periods of extended storage, Ethanol tends to draw in atmospheric moisture which can lead to a build-up of water in your fuel cell or container. Because the density of water is greater than gasoline, the Ethanol/Water mixture separates from the gasoline and settles to the bottom of the fuel cell. Industry refers to this as Phase Separation, and because the pick-up is located on the bottom of the fuel cell, the first thing sucked up when you try to crank the engine is the Ethanol/Water mixture. Not only will this cause your lawn mower not to start in the Spring, it will also pump a corrosive cocktail through your engine, and since some of that water/Ethanol cocktail ends up in your crankcase, your motor oil is not very happy either. Speaking of corrosion, many people do not realize that Ethanol is not transported in the pipelines with gasoline. The ethanol is added later just prior to delivery to your local gas station. You see, ethanol is very corrosive, so the pipeline companies don’t want the Ethanol eating the pipelines. Which leads us to our next issue, fuel system corrosion. While modern fuel injection engines feature materials compatible with Ethanol, Carburetors are made from alloys of Zinc and Aluminum, both of which are susceptible to corrosive properties of Ethanol. Many carburetor rebuilders have reported seeing “white” deposits inside the Carburetors, and detailed laboratory analysis confirmed that these deposits are result of corrosion from Ethanol blended fuels. The greater the ethanol concentration the worse the problem, and periods of extended storage only worsen the problem. In fact the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory warns against the use of Zinc or Aluminum with Ethanol. Additives designed to help prevent Phase Separation generally contain Alcohol which can make the corrosion problem worse.
If the Ethanol was not bad enough, the water that comes along for the ride just adds to the corrosion problem. The moisture that passes through the fuel system and ends up in the crankcase can lead to rust inside the engine, and water depletes to additives in your motor oil that are designed to prevent rust and wear – a very negative 2 for 1 deal. The negatives effects from Ethanol on your fuel system don’t end at corrosion. Because Ethanol is an alcohol, ethanol dries out the rubber components in your fuel system. This leads to cracking and brittle fuel lines, floats, seals and diaphragms. Obviously, leaky fuel lines are a safety hazard. These material compatibility issues are even worse for small engines. The Carburetors on a typical small engine, like your 2 stroke leaf blower, use a diaphragm style fuel pump. The ethanol in the fuel causes the diaphragm to harden. The fuel pump stops working, and now your leaf blower won’t run. So what do you do if using an ethanol free fuel is not viable option? First, when switching to a high Ethanol content fuel, the fuel lines, fuel cell and other rubberized components must be replaced with materials that are compatible with high ethanol content fuels. All modern (since 2007) cars feature these upgraded materials that are compatible with Ethanol blended fuels (that is one of the special parts in a flex fuel vehicle).Carb-Defender-multi bottle_Web The other step to take regards storage. The best way to prevent phase separation is NOT adding another bottle of fuel stabilizer into your tank. A fuel additive with a corrosion inhibitor for your carburetor is all you need. The best way to prevent phase separation is by making sure the fuel cell is full when you put your vehicle, lawn mower or boat away in storage. With less “room to breathe” the fuel cell will not absorb enough moisture to cause phase separation. If the fuel cell can’t be stored full, the run it dry before putting it away for Winter storage. The fastest route to phase separation is a partially full tank of ethanol blended fuel allowed to breathe in atmospheric moisture. Even if you follow all of these guidelines, Ethanol has one last curveball to throw at you – Vapor Pressure. Ethanol affects the nature of how gasoline evaporates, and that changes how the fuel system must be tuned. Because the ethanol content in pump fuels varies, the effect on vapor pressure varies, which means the performance qualities of the fuel varies from tank to tank. Obviously, the best course of action is to use an Ethanol free fuel. However, these fuels are hard to find in metropolitan areas due to clean air regulations, and these fuels cost more. Fortunately, the worst side effects of ethanol can be dealt with by using the correct materials in the fuel system, taking care to use a corrosion inhibitor additive if you have a carburetor, and making sure the tank is full when you put away your vehicle, lawn mower or boat for the Winter.

Bill promotes wider availability of unsafe E15 fuel
Tell your representative to oppose!
On March 22, U.S. Rep. David Loebsack (D-Iowa) introduced H.R. 4673, the Renewable Fuel Utilization, Expansion, and Leadership Act” or the “REFUEL Act.” The bill would provide federal grants to purchase and install new or existing infrastructure (i.e., pumps, storage tanks, internal tank lining, piping, and electric vehicle chargers). The infrastructure must be used in the “process of dispensing fuel containing covered renewable or alternative energy.” The bill contradicts the will of Congress, which prohibited funding for special ethanol blender pumps in the FARM bill. Despite congressional intent to stop blender pumps from being subsidized, this bill follows U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s end-around efforts to use other programs to fund blender pumps. These pumps would be a key component in helping to expand the availability of E15 fuel, a blend of gasoline that includes up to 15 percent ethanol by volume. None of the estimated 22 million motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles in use in the United States is certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate on fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol. Inadvertent use of E15 in vehicles not designed for its use can damage fuel system and engine components and void manufacturer’s warranties. Tell your representative to oppose H.R. 4673. Send a prewritten message by clicking the “Take Action” link. Take Action! Now more than ever, it is crucial that you and your riding friends become members of the AMA to help protect our riding freedoms. More members mean more clout against the opponents of motorcycling. That support will help fight for your rights – on the road, trail and racetrack and in the halls of government. If you are a motorcycle rider, join the AMA at americanmotorcyclist.com/membership/join
Visit a park free during National Parks WeekNational Parks Week starts April 16th
During National Parks Week – which begins Saturday and runs through April 24 – every U.S. National Park is offering free admission! The American Motorcyclist Association knows that our National Parks are a very popular street-riding destination for our members and other motorcyclists, and we wanted to be sure you are aware of this great opportunity. Several other fee-free days are scheduled in 2016 for the National Park Service and other federal agencies, including lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management that allow off-highway vehicles in designated areas. These days provide a great chance to explore public lands all over the country and we encourage our members to make the most of them! Fee-free days: U.S. Forest Service: June 11, Sept. 24, Nov. 11 National Park Service: Aug. 25-28, Sept. 24, Nov. 11 Bureau of Land Management: Sept. 24, Nov. 11 U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: Sept. 24, Oct. 9, Nov. 11-13 Every April, the AMA celebrates the riding season as AMA Go Ride! Month. This is our reminder (as if you needed one) that motorcycling is the best way to go to work, go to town, go to the country or — in other words — go see America. How will you participate in AMA Go Ride! Month? There are several opportunities for a chance to win, including sharing photos on social media, engaging with the AMA in various ways or simply entering a drawing. Details are announced each week in a press release and shared at both https://www.facebook.com/AmericanMotorcyclist and on Twitter @ama_riding.

Animal Detection Animal Detection, currently used in Volvo, uses the same radar and camera technology combination as the pedestrian detection system to determine if the vehicle is in line to strike an object. An audible warning will be displayed, and then the brakes will automatically be applied (10).
Driver Assistance and Monitoring These technologies include advanced displays, speed warnings, and limiters, driver/rider monitoring to prevent crashes caused by alcohol impairment or drowsiness, and systems to prevent riding by unlicensed riders.
Advanced Driver AssistThis emerging technology, currently used in Yamaha ASV-2s, will “employ a range of telematics and vehicle control systems to reduce driver workload and error” (4). Benefit to Motorcycles: Advanced driver assist systems provide riders with more information to counteract behaviors that may lead to crashes.Benefit to Motorcycles: Advanced driver assist systems provide riders with moreinformation to counteract behaviors that may lead to crashes.
Alcohol Detection/Interlock Alcohol Detection, also known as Interlock, is an active technology currently used in passenger vehicles that requires drivers to blow into a device in order to start their vehicle. If no alcohol is detected on their breath, then the vehicle will start, but drivers will be required to blow into the device periodically on their trip (11).
Driver Status Monitoring This emerging technology uses facial detection software, which monitors and analyzes facial features of the driver to ensure driver alertness (12).Electronic Licenses or Smart Cards Electronic Licenses are an emerging technology currently used in Honda products that prevents unlicensed riding and ensures all operators have the proper safety training. Electronic licenses would require ‘smart cards’ to be placed into the ignition to operate the motorcycle. Thiswould also allow the ability to monitor drivers who are inexperienced or deemed “at-risk” (4).
Helmet Mounted Displays Helmet Mounted Displays is an emerging technology that projects information from the instruments to a display inside the operator’s helmet, reducing the need to fully take their eyesoff the road and look at their panel (13).Rearview Displays Rearview displays are an emerging technology, currently present in Honda ASV-3s and Yamaha ASV-2s, which uses backward facing cameras (mounted on the helmet or vehicle) toproject real time images of the road environment behind the motorcycle to increase visibility over traditional rear-view mirrors (4). Speed Alert/Limiting Systems Speed Alert Systems is an existing technology that warns drivers when they haveexceeded the posted speed limit, or exceed the maximum limit set by the motorcycle operator, in order to minimize the role that excessive speed plays in motorcycle crashes (14).Speed Alert/Limiting Systems Speed Alert Systems is an existing technology that warns drivers when they have exceeded the posted speed limit, or exceed the maximum limit set by the motorcycle operator, inorder to minimize the role that excessive speed plays in motorcycle crashes (14).CRASH INJURY MITIGATION These following technologies are intended to reduce injuries when a crash occurs, and/or to bring emergency responders to the site of a crash more quickly.Airbag System The Airbag System is an existing technology such as those used in Yamaha ASV-2s and the Honda motorcycle airbag introduced on the 2006 Gold Wing that will deploy an airbag in the case of impact at a certain intensity level and can assist in keeping the rider from being thrown (4).Airbag Vest An Airbag Vest is an existing technology that is worn by the rider to protect the front and back of the body if thrown off the motorcycle (15). Automated Crash Notification System This system is an emerging technology actively being utilized in many car companies, such as Lexus and Toyota, that uses sensors, airbag deployment, and other cues to automaticallynotify emergency personnel of a crash; ensuring help can arrive more quickly while simultaneously collecting crash severity data (16).
