Name/Title
Rasor, RobDescription
With decades of experience at the American Motorcyclist Association, Rob Rasor played a key role in shaping the AMA — particularly on the government relations front — into what it is today. During his time with the AMA, Rasor served as a legislative analyst, Vice President of Government Relations, and President, and played an instrumental role in several major legislative wins for motorcyclists. First hired by the AMA in 1973 to work as part of its new Government Relations Department, Rasor was a key figure in the fight to protect the future of motorcycling. Under his leadership, the AMA navigated several legislative battles, including the fight to stop the federal government from banning “superbikes,” preventing bike bans and helmet requirements in several cities and states, and the mission to ban healthcare discrimination against motorcyclists. Rasor was also instrumental in helping public land managers accommodate off-road motorcycling after the signing of Executive Order 11644 and the passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, each of which aimed to control the use of OHVs on public lands. In addition to his work with the AMA, Rasor maintained close ties with the Féderation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) for 45 years, where he served as an FIM Vice President and President of the Commission for Mobility, Transport, Road Safety, Industry and Public Affairs. For efforts internationally, Rasor was awarded the Nicolas Rodi Del Valle Gold Medal, which is the highest honor in the FIM.Category
