Our organization is committed to the interests of riders and to our community
Dixie ABATE of Alabama is a motorcyclists' rights organization dedicated to preserving individual freedom and promoting safety. We fully support rider training, including safety and educational programs, as well as motorcycle awareness education for all automobile drivers.
Our members also raise funds for the less fortunate, through charity runs and benefits. We encourage our members to become active in their local communities. ABATE works to protect the rights of all motorcyclists through direct involvement in the political process. You, as an individual, can help in the ongoing struggle against anti-motorcycle legislation both here in Alabama, and across the United States, by becoming an ABATE member.
ABATE is non-partisan and welcomes all riders. We give those with a strong interest in motorcycling an opportunity to unite and become part of a dynamic organization. No other group of people with a common interest bonds and cares like the community of riders. Dixie ABATE feels that all of us, from lifestyle rider to off-road-fan, are brothers and sisters with a common interest — riding free!
This site was conceived to keep our members informed, and to help us recruit new members. Dixie ABATE stresses safety and education for motorcycle riders. This emphasis misses the mark. Those who ride motorcycles already know the danger posed by automobile drivers who simply won't or don't take the time to look for motorcycles. If you drive a car, and we all do at least occasionally, we would remind you to look twice and save a life.
