What Is ABATE

   ABATE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the Freedom of the Road. Ensuring your freedom by fighting anti-bike legislation and promoting fair motorcycle legislation. ABATE does not advocate that you ride without a helmet when the law is repealed, only that you have the right to decide. 

   The structure of ABATE is very basic: Members. Membership is open to anyone interested in promoting freedom of choice, whether you own or ride a motorcycle, or not. The wishes of the members are carried out by their elected board of directors in their local chapter, or through their representatives to the state organization. 

​

Goals and Purposes:

  • Keeping bikers and members informed through our monthly newsletter and the media.

  • To encourage motorcycle enthusiasts to register and vote.

  • To promote safe riding habits.

  • To encourage favorable legislation for bikers.

  • To provide monthly meetings, events, runs, contests, and community action projects.
