Aid to Injured Motorcyclist/National Council of Motorcyclist (A.I.M/NCOM) www.aimncom.com
A.I.M/NCOM is a nationwide legal services with affiliated law office in every state and Canadian Province to serve the legal needs of the motorcycling community ( All The Lawyers Are Motorcyclist who better to have fighting for your rights).  A.I.M. is dedicated towards informing all motorcyclists of their legal rights and help protect and enforce those rights.  
 
A.I.M is 100% Free to all motorcyclist, and there are currently 2 Million A.I.M. Members throughout North America.

This organization is sponsored, completely financed by the Law Offices of Ricard M. Lester(Founder and a Motorcyclist) and is designed to give more complete medical and legal protection to motorcyclists throughout the USA and Canada when involved in an accident.  If your are involved in an accident, your A.I.M ID card instructs emergency medical personnel to call the toll free 1-800 ON-A-BIKE Emergency Hotline and the 24 hour A.I.M. operator will relay your critical medical information and will then immediately notify the emergency contact listed on your membership form.

A.I.M. Also provides the following Free Services:
Lifetime Emergency Membership I.D. Card
24-hour Hotline for all emergency medical personnel
Emergency accident notification
24-hour Free Legal Consultation for all accidents throughout North America
Immediate investigation of all accidents
24-hour Criminal Defense phone consultation

In addition to providing medical protection and legal resource, A.I.M. is also the sole financial sponsor of the National Coalition of Motorcyclists.  The A.I.M attorney legal fees ( a percentage of your damages only if there is recovery), are equal and in some cases, lower than other attorneys.  These fees are in part, donated back to finance N.C.O.M.  However, being an A.I.M. member does not obligate you to use any of the A.I.M. attorneys.

The program currently has three main sections:
Consumer Protection - Making roads safe for motorcyclists and creating liability if they're not
Education - Informing the general public of the problems of motorcyclists and continuing the "Know Your Rights" talks and the A.I.M./NCOM legal/legislative newsletter so that all motorcyclists will be aware of their rights and thus, be able to protect them.
And finally, the most important section, Assistance to the Injured Motorcyclist - Volunteers that will go to any motorcyclist that has been involved in an accident, inform him/her of all rights and help in their hour of need.

National Council of Motorcyclist www.aimncom.com
NCOM is the other half to A.I.M.  NCOM has over 1000 motorcycle clubs and organizations.  NCOM is not for individual membership but for motorcycle clubs as a whole to join.  If you belong to a club then your club should belong to NCOM.

As a member of NCOM you would become part of a nationwide united voice that speaks out to protect the rights of motorcyclists and the the future of motorcycling.  Throughout networking with other groups, clubs and associations, we can strengthen our political clout and become more aware and educated int he process.

In addition to networking valuable information and experience, your group would have access to a databank of motorcycle information, legal and legislative services, discrimination protection, speaker program, loan program, safety projects, public awareness and promotional assistance.  Your group would be invited to attend the Annual NCOM Convention, the Annual Board of Directors meeting and regional meetings.  Your group's input could help chart a new course for bikers rights in America.

All we ask in return is that you ensure that each member of your organization receives a free Aid to Injured Motorcyclists (A.I.M.) emergency ID care.  Unlike other associations, NCOM is not supported by membership dues and does not solicit funds from member groups or individuals.  All operating costs are paid through the A.I.M. nationwide network of attorneys who are the sole financial support for NCOM.  A.I.M. attorneys contribute a significant portion of their legal fees from motorcycle accident cases back into motorcycling by providing all funding for NCOM...a way of recycling money from motorcycling back into motorcycling.

The National Coalition of Motorcyclist would be a stronger voice with your organization's participation.
