Recognizing Vince Consiglio

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a legend in the Michigan motorcycle freedom and safety community, Vince Consiglio, who announced his upcoming retirement in January. Vince is the president of ABATE of Michigan, or American Bikers Aiming Toward Education.

Vince, who has served as president for over 30 years, joined ABATE in 1975 and has served in multiple roles, including as Michigan's chief Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructor, teaching many MSF instructors the importance of safe riding practices.

He has been integral in public education about issues impacting motorcyclists, working with State legislators to increase motorcycle awareness and protect the cherished heritage we share.

I have personally known Vince for many years and know him to be a man of character and passionate about motorcycles, especially his Harley.

I wish Vince a happy and fulfilling retirement and thank him for his service to his fellow riders and ABATE.
