Black Motorcycle Club History & More!
In early 2002 the fledgling operation known as Tombstone Hearse Co. publicized its intent to provide an alternative to the standard motorcar hearse of today. From Delaware to Arizona Tombstone Hearse can be the preferred transportation for a bikers funeral.
Conceived with the idea of consistently providing a better than first-class product that has no equal, Tombstone Hearse Co. has continued with this objective to be the best at what we do. We have continued pursuing this objective through our years because it’s just as important to us today as it was from the beginning. This goal has gained Tombstone Hearse Co. an outstanding reputation in the death care industry as a manufacturer that delivers a quality that exceeds our customer’s expectations.

Support federal legislation to prohibit the funding of discriminatory motorcycle-only checkpoints
Urge your Representative to support today!
Furthermore, the AMA understands that the York County sheriff’s office and the Kennebunkport police departments in the state of Maine conducted motorcycle-only checkpoints (MOCs) the weekend of June 10-13. In a previous alert, the AMA informed the motorcycling community that the Arlington County Police Department of the Commonwealth of Virginia implemented a MOC during Rolling Thunder on May 28. For more information on this, click here. Beginning with the state of New York in 2009 and then the state of Georgia’s use of MOCs and now Maine and Virginia, the AMA has been out front on this discriminatory issue from the beginning. Regarding the state of Georgia, it was the only state to receive a grant in the amount of $70,000 from a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) program to create MOCs. The grant will be used to conduct one or more roadside motorcycle-only checks in accordance with what was outlined in the Request for Applications. The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) will oversee the day-to-day operation of the program. The program in question is the Motorcycle Law Enforcement Demonstrations Grant (DTNH22-10-R-00386). Although the grant has been closed to new applicants as of August 13, 2010, you can view the grant notice here. In addition to the Motorcycle Law Enforcement Demonstrations Grant, other NHTSA funds are being spent on these MOCs. On October 26, 2010, the AMA sent a letter to Georgia’s former Governor Sonny Perdue requesting he suspend the implementation of the grant until questions raised by the motorcycling community are addressed. The former governor did not respond to AMA’s letter. Therefore, the AMA sent another letter, dated February 15, 2011, to Georgia’s newly-elected Governor Nathan Deal. To see AMA’s letter, click here. The AMA cautioned riders traveling through the state of Georgia that the GSP may mobilize the MOC during Daytona Bike Week. On March 9, the GSP did just that on I-95. To view a video of the MOC in operation, click here. On the federal side, U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and some of his colleagues sent a letter, dated September 30, 2010, to the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. The congressional letter urged LaHood to suspend the grant program that would expand the highly criticized practice of creating motorcycle-only checkpoints by law enforcement agencies. The AMA strongly supports this important letter. To see the congressional letter, click here. On March 3, 2011, Rep. Sensenbrenner introduced H.R. 904. This bill would prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from providing grants or any funds to states or local governments to be used for any program to create MOCs. On May 25, 2011, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and 12 of his colleagues sent a letter to the leadership of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in support of including H.R. 904 in the Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill. To view the letter, click here. The AMA has formally questioned the discriminatory practice of this program, administered by the NHTSA. The AMA sent a letter to Administrator Strickland on August 9, 2010, urging him to suspend the grant program until questions have been addressed. To view AMA’s letter, click here. To view Administrator Strickland’s response, click here. While law enforcement officials may defend the program as a safety measure, there is no substantive proof of its effectiveness. The practice, first modeled in the state of New York, has drawn the ire of thousands of motorcyclists nationally. The AMA believes that the best way for NHTSA, states and local jurisdictions to reduce motorcycle crashes is to employ proven strategies, such as rider education and motorcycle awareness programs that decrease the likelihood of crashes from occurring in the first place. These strategies must be research-based. H.R. 904 is critical to ending the discriminatory practice of MOCs. The motorcycling community needs you to contact your U.S. Representative now to ask them to cosponsor H.R. 904 to end funding for MOCs. Just follow the “Take Action” option to send a pre-written e-mail directly to your Representative. Be sure to forward this to your motorcycling friends! The AMA needs motorcyclists to unite against MOCs.

Re: NHTSA Motorcycle Law Enforcement Demonstrations Grant
Dear Honorable Governor Deal:
I am writing to voice my concerns over the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Motorcycle Law Enforcement Demonstrations Grant Program and ask for your assistance in disrupting the program in Georgia. The program blatantly discriminates against motorcyclists and fails to address motorcycle safety.
The NHTSA recently announced a grant program to supposedly address Motorcycle Safety issues. The recipient of the money for the demo project was the Georgia Department of Public Safety. The Georgia State Patrol is conducting a series of roadside motorcycle safety checks in accordance with what was outlined in the Request for Applications. The amount of NHTSA funding is $70,000.00. The motorcycle check points do not address nor decrease motorcycle accidents and instead “profiles” motorcyclists and discriminates against citizens based on their mode on transportation and clothing.
Motorcycle Safety is an important and growing issue in Georgia. Over the past several months Georgia has lost several motorcyclists to inattentive and distracted drivers. The Motorcycle Only Check Points do not address the issues that are killing our motorcyclists. A strong research based motorcycle safety awareness program is needed to ensure our safety and reduce crashes not police check points that target the victims of crashes.
Members of the US Congress recently urged US Transportation Secretary LaHood to suspend the grant program and to concentrate on crash causation and education programs. I am asking for your help in suspending the demo program in Georgia.
I am one of 800,000 registered motorcyclists in Georgia and am counting on your help to redirect and redefine motorcycle safety in Georgia.
Thank you for time and consideration. If you have any questions or need further clarification please contact Linda Allen, Legislative Director, ABATE of Georgia, Inc. at 770-949-3426.
