About ABATE
ABATE stands
for American Bikers Aimed Toward Education. ABATE is
a not for profit corporation formed to promote and protect the
interests of New York motorcyclists. We monitor and interact with
the legislative process, enhance the image of motorcycling, and
provide educational and social opportunities for members as well as
non-members. ABATE will
continue to strive to become acquainted with both the issues and the
people of the motorcycling community. We encourage all our members
to be informed registered voters. ABATE of
NY, Inc. supports the Motorcycle Rider Education classes currently
being offered throughout NYS. We welcome interested persons to any
of our activities and to join our organization.
We are not a "Motorcycle Club"
Rather a Not For Profit Organization
ABATE provides
the neutral ground which allows us to stand beside and support each
other in unity, to safeguard our rights and to be individuals with
different views. A concept that we are united with a common interest
and now a common ground on which to stand. There are approximately
750+ members in Long Island Chapter
at this time and many more state wide. We are for ALL motorcycles.
For your rights to ride.
OUR
PURPOSE
The main
purpose of the ABATE organization
is to work toward continued freedom of the road by insuring that
motorcyclists' point of view is presented to our legislators and to
promote motorcycle safety, rider education, and awareness. We are
trying to alleviate the very real possibility of "Big
Brother Government".
We encourage
all our members to be informed, registered voters. We write letters
to our elected officials and stay aware of what is going on with
motorcycle legislation, education and other transportation issues.
"New Rider" education classes with certified safety instructors are
currently being offered by some New York State chapters. ABATE of
New York currently has 25 chapters throughout the state.
We welcome
interested persons to any of our activities or to join our
organization. Some of the examples of what we've been doing: Toy
Runs, Poker Runs, Family Picnics, lobbying in Washington, letter
writing campaigns, meeting with our legislative representatives in
Albany.
Anyone interested in motorcycling may attend our meetings. We don't
all ride motorcycles, but the majority of us do share this interest.
