American Bikers Active Toward Education Abate..........Our Mission

The letters "ABATE" stand for American Bikers Active Toward Education. ABATE is composed of motorcyclists from all areas of the State, from all walks of life, and who ride all makes of bikes. ABATE is not a club, it is a politically active organization working on motorcyclist's rights. We are affiliated with national rights groups like the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) [Click HERE for an important Press Release from the MRF] and the National Coalition of Motorcyclists (NCOM).

Our main focus is to keep motorcycle legislation in its proper perspective. Many restrictive laws are enacted by uninformed legislators. ABATE's goal is to keep our lawmakers informed of our members collective position on Motorcycle related legislation. Preventing unfair legislation from becoming law is easier than fighting to get the law repealed.

Rider education and public awareness of motorcyclist are goals of ABATE. We are not against the wearing of helmets. We believe in "Freedom of Choice" and we encourage all riders to ride safely. An informed and educated rider is a safer rider. Helmet laws do nothing to prevent an accident, and a helmet only provides the illusion of safety, while rider education is proven to prevent accidents and save lives.

ABATE is involved in community service through programs like "Adopt a Highway" and "Adopt a Stream". We also sponsor several State and District charity events throughout the year.

ABATE of Georgia, Inc. is a motorcyclist rights organization. On this site are links to the inner workings of ABATE of Georgia, its mission, membership information, and a host of other resources that any motorcyclist can use to monitor current legislation related to motorcycling. We hope you will use this site to become an active, more effective freedom fighter. ABATE of Georgia is a Team effort - we welcome all riders, all brands.

If You Drive A Car

Here's what carelessness causes.

NOTE: Historically this site was aimed at keeping our members informed. I've come to the conclusion that this was a mistake. Those who ride motorcycles already know the danger posed by automobile drives who simply won't or don't take the time to look for motorcycles. Consequently, this page is currently being developed to show you what happens because of driver carelessness.

You can start by looking at the following statistics compliments of Remember the Riders web site: Motorcyclists Killed Please note that this DOES NOT include those who are now mentally or physically handicapped because of the carelessness of those driving automobiles & trucks.

Watch These Videos and LEARN !!

Europe has a l-o-n-g history of sharing the road with motorcyclists and as such they've recently developed a video that definitely shows what can happen when you, the four-wheeled (or more) driver, doesn't
