ABATE of Northern Nevada,
(A Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education) is a not for profit
organization dedicated to “Preserving the rights, improving
the image, and promoting the safe operating practices of all
Northern Nevada motorcyclists.”
Statement of Position and Activity
to Promote that Position ABATE is a freedom of
choice organization, dedicated to the premise that the individual
is best suited to decide the type of motorcycle to ride, the
type of safety gear to wear, and their own personal lifestyle.
The primary objective of ABATE is to monitor legislative activity
in regard to laws affecting motorcyclists, especially those
designed to limit our freedom of choice, and to encourage
all members to become politically involved in order to effect
positive legislation and deter that of a negative nature.
Through public forums, writing letters and meeting elected
representatives, ABATE members have the opportunity to present
their side of the issues and educate governmental leaders
about the needs of Northern Nevada motorcyclists.
Legislative directors on the state and regional levels help
to coordinate these efforts, and, when necessary, provide
a communication link between the organization and elected
officials.
Other goals include but are not
limited to: Mounting vigorous campaigns for motorcycle
rider education and related safety programs. Raising political
awareness and encouraging members to register and vote. Supporting
the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), the Motorcycle
Riders Foundation (MRF), and other motorcyclist rights organizations
around the nation.
Dissemination of motorcycling related information, staging
events for members, raising of funds for charitable causes,
and general promotion of motorcycling!
