Why should I join ABATE? Why should I care?
ABATE is about freedom:
- Freedom from excessive government control.
- Freedom from illogical and ignorant laws.
- Freedom from those who act against the wishes of the constituents.
You say you don’t have the time…
ABATE will demand no more of your time than you can give. Of course, we would enjoy seeing your face at the meetings where we can talk about the latest set of after-market pipes, or where the next poker run is, or which legislator just tried to introduce another law that will affect your riding freedom. We would enjoy seeing you participate, helping the organization grow and flourish.
I’m not very good with politics…
All we ask is that you vote. Which you probably do anyway. Otherwise why are you still reading this?
“I just want to ride”
ABATE members just want to ride too. We want to ride safely, without limiting devices forced upon us under the false label of safety. ABATE has many runs, rides and events that we participate in.
ABATE is about education:
- Education before legislation for the politicians.
- Education for all riders by conducting 2 & 3 wheel training classes.
- Education for the safety of riders, coordinating efforts in a grass-roots organization, networking with ALL 2 & 3 wheeled riders.
- Educating the soccer moms and Joe Public, encouraging them to become more aware of motorcycles that they share the road with.
JOIN ABATE
- Because you are a concerned biker, citizen, or parent.
- Because you want your voice to be heard in government.
- Because you’re mad as hell and you don’t want to take it anymore.
- Because you want to make a difference
- Because you care about the future of motorcycling!
ABATE sponsors many activities. We promote motorcycle safety and driver awareness. We have several programs to address the many facets of motorcycle riding. You will be a part of an active and exciting grassroots organization lobbying state and federal legislators to make your views on motorcycling known. We fight against unfair, discriminatory laws and practices affecting motorcyclists. Join with others in our organization to promote motorcycle safety and awareness in your community. No matter what you ride, you will be affected by laws that are passed, from unfair insurance issues to noise issues, and everything in between. We encourage motorcyclists to become legislatively active and have some fun while you are doing it! We would enjoy becoming your fellow-rider, activist, and friend.
