MEMBERS - we may have been having some problems with email deliveries. Monday you should have recieved one on Allan West's Town Meeting. Wednesday there will be another to test if everyone is getting. IF not - check your email's junk/SPAM folder to see if was put there and set as not Junk/SPAM. Your Anti-virus program may be another cause of not recieving. Be sure the chapter has your correct email - we never share it, emails sent as BCC (to hide) and some Emial/Virus Checker may see this as a threat.
ABATE Mission Statement
Motorcycle Rights & Safety Dedicated to "Freedom of Choice, Freedom of the Road"
You may know us as the motorcycle organization that got the helmet law repealed in Florida or from our motorcycle rights and safety rally's throughout the year. ABATE of Florida is not a club, we are a motorcycle rights & safety organization dedicated to promoting motorcycle safety while remaining ever vigilant of the legislative issues concerning motorcyclists' nationwide.
THERE ARE NO MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS
Because we are not a club there are no mandatory rides or meetings to attend. We do not require our members to wear our patch. If you are currently a member of a motorcycle club or any other motorcycle association or organization we welcome your support as a member.
YOUR COLORS OR PATCH ARE ALWAYS WELCOME IN OUR HOUSE
We support motorcyclists’ rights, safety and awareness for all motorcyclists and welcome the support your club or riding association as well as all independents, regardless of what kind of motorcycle you ride.
WE ARE NOT ANTI-HELMET, WE ARE ANTI-HELMET LAW
One of the most popular misconceptions about ABATE is that we are anti-helmet. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are "anti-helmet law" if you chose to ride with or without a helmet it's your choice, it is your right to decide whether wearing a helmet is right for you. ABATE is an organization fighting to protect your rights.
We are currently preparing for the opening of the new legislative sessions. Our Legislative Agenda includes: "Stiffer Penalties" for Right of Way Violators (ROWV), still the number 1 killer of motorcyclists, A ban on Cell Phone use while operating a motor vehicle of any kind and Mandatory Drivers Education Courses and classes in the Florida school system. We need your support to make our voice heard as motorcyclists.
"FREEDOM OF CHOICE, FREEDOM OF THE ROAD"
There are over 7,800 members of ABATE in the state of Florida with over 30 active chapters. We feel Palm Beach County has huge potential in becoming one of the largest chapters in the state. With its large expanse and thousands of motorcyclist', a Palm Beach County chapter would become a viable and influential voice in raising motorcycle rights, safety and awareness.This chapter borders will be primarily Northern Broward County and all of Palm Beach County
