A coalition of motorcycle groups lobbied for increased funding for Georgia's motorcycle training program and they were rewarded when Gov. Zell Miller signed into law the 1993-94 state budget which increases funding for the Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program almost 70% or $170,000. The good news comes at a time when many state motorcycle training programs are fighting to maintain their current levels of funding or, in some cases, their very existence. In the tredit where credit is due department, the following organizations made up the ad hoc group of Georgia motorcycles who lobbied successfully for the increased funding: ABATE of Georgia, BMW M/C Owners Group, Ga. M/C Dealers Assn., Harley Owner's Group, Honda Rider's Club of America, Southeastern Road Riding Assn., BMW Riders Assn, Christian Motorcyclists Assn., Gold Wing Road Riders Assn., Honda Sport Touring Assn., Safety First Foundation and Women on Wheels. While Georgia motorcyclists are celebrating, their counterparts in the Free State are also, although in a more subdued manner because they've had to accept a compromise in their battle to save the Maryland motorcycle safety program. Although- that effort wasn't enough to save the program from all the consequences of an elimination plan, motorcyclists were successful in keeping it alive. MaTyland lawmakers have approved a measure to revive the state's rider education program, funded entirely by extra fees on street-riding motorcyclists. The move to save the program began shortly after the AMA alerted motorcyclists to the dangers of a controversial budget proposal engineered by state Delegate Timothy Maloney. That proposal, written into law last year, would have dismantled the program and stolen the money motorcyclists paid to support it. In an effort to save the program from Maloney's plan, several bills were presented by other legislators. However, Maloney refused to give up all the terms of his plan. As a result, the money riders previously paid into the program has been left unprotected, and Maloney's plan claimed it. But on the key issue of reinstating the program, motorcyclists won a complete victory, thanks largely to the efforts of a group called Coalition Advocating Rider Education for Maryland. Under the terms of the rescue measure, the safety
