ABATE is a not-for-profit Motorcyclist Rights Organization (MRO)

We are dedicated to:

1. Protecting the rights and freedoms of all motorcyclists.

2. Promoting safety, education and public awareness programs and improving the general image of motorcyclists.

ABATE of California was established as a not-for-profit corporation in 1981. We believe education and safety programs are more effective than simply passing more laws. Our members are active in public awareness programs, motorcycle safety programs, charity fundraisers, voter registration, and other community events. We keep our members aware of pending legislation that may effect motorcyclists' rights. We educate our members to effectively protect our freedom. No matter what make of motorcycle you ride, whether you ride every day, or just on weekends, or if if you even ride at all, you need to be aware of everything that might affect your riding freedom. You may need to be involved in the process of protecting your own rights!!
