WHAT IS ABATE?

"A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments"
and
"American Bikers Aimed Toward Education.

ABATE is a motorcycle organization composed of motorcycle enthusiasts throughout the country. Putting motorcycle legislation in its proper perspective is our main concern. This is accomplished through safety education programs, public awareness programs and other proposals designed to prevent fatal or injury accidents.

ABATE is a neutral organization that allows ALL riders to unite in a brotherhood to safeguard our rights and still be individuals with different views.

ABATE feels that all motorcyclists are brothers and sisters with a common interest....riding free! A great many restrictive laws pertaining to motorcycles and riders were enacted by an uninformed or misdirected legislature.

ABATE's goal in Kansas is to keep our legislators informed of our feelings about any bill that we feel would be unfair or discriminatory towards motorcyclists. To prevent an unfair bill from becoming a law is much easier than fighting to get a Law repealed.

ABATE of Kansas works with motorcycle rights organizations across the country to stop unfair federal legislation aimed at motorcyclists. We are not against helmets, but the 'forced-use helmet law" is a blatant government grab of our personal freedom. It puts all of motorcycling in jeopardy. LET THOSE WHO RIDE DECIDE!

ABATE of Kansas now has a Motorcycle Safety Foundation certified safety program This training consists of 20 hours of intensive classroom and hands-on training followed by strict testing of acquired skills for beginners. Experienced riders are given 8 hours of advanced evasive and braking training.

ABATE of Kansas sponsors and promotes safety, rider information, and motorcycle awareness campaigns for autoists emphasizing accident prevention.
