American Motorcyclist Association CEO to Testify Against Motorcycle Tariff
Office of U.S. Trade Representative hearing slated for Feb. 15 PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- American Motorcyclist Association President and CEO Rob Dingman will testify Feb. 15 against a 100 percent tariff on some European motorcycles proposed by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
