I just renewed my American Motorcyclist Association (AMA (http://www.ama-cycle.org/index.asp)) membership online. If, like me, you're a member who forgets to use the available benefits (in part 'cuz you simply can't remember them), I've cut 'n' pasted the list from AMA's site. You may want to bookmark this post and check it prior to ordering those new farkles or reserving lodging for that planned tour. Note that I've deleted certain discount codes to prevent them being used by non-members; check the members-only section of AMA's website to obtain the codes.
