American Bikers Aimed Towards Education
ABATE of West Virginia, Inc., P O Box 603, Parkersburg, WV 26102
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS SITE UP AND ACTIVE SO CHECK BACK FOR MORE INFORMATION AND UPDATES. ABATE of WV does not collect any data on it's website vistors. We have a website counter only.
The main thrust of ABATE is to "Educate, Not Legislate." We believe in the education of all who are involved with motorcycling, including but not limited to: our own members, legislators, law enforcement officials and the general public. Our main focus is to keep motorcycle legislation in its proper perspective. Many restrictive laws are enacted by uninformed legislators. The goal of ABATE 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 Preventing unfair legislation from becoming law is easier than fighting to get the law repealed.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 motorcyclists are goals of ABATE. ABATE of West Virginia is a freedom of choice organization. We believe that the rider is best able to decide the type of motorcycle to ride, and the type and extent of safety gear worn. Our primary objective is to monitor motorcycle-related legislation and encourage all members to become politically involved. We are not against the wearing of helmets; we are against being told we have to wear a helmet. Our helmets would be a lot lighter if it didn’t have a politician sitting on top of it. We encourage all riders to ride safely.
Education topics include motorcycle safety and awareness, current laws that affect riders, and pending legislation that could change the way we enjoy our freedoms.
ABATE of West Virginia’s goal is to give the motorcyclists of West Virginia a strong, united voice with regard to their future, their way of life, their safety, and their legal rights as motorcyclists and citizens. ABATE is composed of motorcyclists from all areas of the state, from all walks of life, and who ride all makes and models of motorcycles. A portion of our members do not even ride motorcycles but believe in what ABATE stands for. ABATE is not a club, it is a politically active organization working on motorcyclist's rights.
ABATE is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the overall rights and promoting the safe operating practices of all West Virginia motorcyclists.
Through public forums, demonstrations, correspondence, and meeting with our elected
representatives, ABATE of West Virginia’s members have the opportunity to speak their side of
the issues and educate others on the needs and rights of West Virginia motorcyclists.
ABATE is an organization designed for all riders. You pay a yearly membership fee. There is no mandatory obligation. ABATE provides the means for independent riders to come together for a common cause, to exchange ideas, and to have fun with other area motorcyclists. The less-fortunate in our society benefit through charitable activities that ABATE supports. ABATE members have staged and participated in events that have raised thousands of dollars and collected clothing, food, toys, and other items for charitable causes.
Region and Chapter members provide the support needed to meet the organizational goals and responsibilities of ABATE of West Virginia.
