Is the AMA membership worth it?
I got an AMA advertisment in the mail, and basic membership is like $40 for the year. Is it a good organization to join? Is it just a window decal and a magazine...or are there actually some good benefits like they say in the brochure??

If you live in the USA (this is a Canadian-run forum), it is good to support the AMA. The AMA consistently advocates for rider rights, and carries weight with state and federal governments. There's a good magazine that comes with membership, too.
(My comment above makes me wonder, is there a Canadian equivalent to the AMA?)

Yes, its a good deal.
Right now the AMA is working on getting penalties increased for injuring or killing a rider with a car. There are many many other issues that the AMA will go to bat for you on.
There was a town in VT that tried to outlaw motorcycles on the streets in town. The AMA got that changed.
