A Motorcyclists' Rights Organization (MRO)
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.
Our Mission
The letters "ABATE" stand for American Bikers
Active
Toward Education.
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fighting to get the law repealed.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.
