HELP US HELP OTHERS – IF WE DON’T DO IT WHO WILL?

helping the community

Downed Bikers Association Enid Chapter has taken it further than any other chapter with their involvement within the local community. In 2018 we adopted a 1 mile stretch of Purdue in front of the Fair Grounds to participate in the adopt a highway program. We pick up trash once a month (weather permitting) to help keep Oklahoma clean and have continued this every month since then.

In addition to “adopting a highway”, in 2018 we started donating a pallet of water to 4 first responder type organizations around town during hot summer months. Examples of those who we have helped with this program are the Enid police, Fire dept, Life support, Sheriff, and Highway Patrol department.


20 YEARS

On Saturday July 27, 2019 Downed Bikers Association celebrated 20 years of bikers helping bikers. All chapters came together for a 1 day event to celebrate all those we’ve provided emotional and financial assistance for the past 2 decades. This event was held in Oklahoma City where the founding chapter was formed 20 years prior. 

JAGGER’S LAW

In April of 2006 A Senate measure to help protect motorists and make Oklahoma’s roads safer was signed into law by Governor Brad Henry. With the help of the folks at ABATE, the Jaggers Family, the Downed Bikers Association and motorcyclists from around the state, Senate Bill 1929, authored by Senator David Myers and Rep. Jim Newport, created the David Jaggers Law, named after a long-time motorcycling enthusiast and active member in the Downed Bikers Association who was killed by a negligent, reckless motorist while riding his motorcycle. Under provisions of this bill, any person convicted of, or who pleads guilty to, a traffic violation for failure to yield a right-of-way and who causes a fatality or serious bodily injury will be assessed a fee of up to $1,000.00 to be deposited in the Motorcycle Safety and Drunk Driving Awareness Fund. This fee will be in addition to any other fine or penalty charged against the violator.
