12 MOTORCYCLISTS WERE KILLED IN WICHITA IN 2006 BY RIGHT OF WAY VIOLATIONS.  PLEASE CHECK THE ROW PAGE. IT IS TIME FOR US TO FIGHT BACK.  WE ARE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE.

The late Malcom Forbes, billionaire and motorcyclist:

""I think legislative assaults on motorcyclists are totally emotional, disproportionate and totally unfair... They are instigated and implemented by people who know nothing about motorcycling, but have a prejudice. It's easy to curb the freedoms of others when you see no immediate impact on your own."

ABATE is a motorcycle organization composed of motorcycle enthusiasts throughout the country.  Putting motorcycle legislation in its proper perspective is our main concern.  This is accomplished through safety education programs, public awareness programs and other proposals designed to prevent fatal or injury accidents.

ABATE is a neutral organization that allows all riders to unite in a brotherhood to safeguard our rights and still be individuals with different views.

ABATE feels that all motorcyclists are brothers and sisters with common interest... riding free! A great many restrictive laws pertaining to motorcycles and riders were enacted by an uninformed or misdirected legislature.  ABATE's goal in Kansas is to keep our legislators informed of our feelings about any bill that we feel would be unfair or discriminatory towards motorcyclists.  To prevent an unfair bill from becomming a law is much easier than fighting to get a law repealed.

ABATE of Kansas, Inc works with motorcycle rights organizations across the country to stop unfair federal legislation aimed toward motorcyclists.  We are not against helmets, but the forced use helmet law is a blatant government grab of our personal freedom.  It puts all of motorcycling in jeapordy.

EPA, state and local sound and emission regulations threaten to put an end to  BMW and most European bikes no to mention the last American maker, Harley Davidson. Most air-cooled Japanese bikes also could not be sold in this country.

Remember the Federal "Backwards Motorcycle" no one could ride?  NHTSA is still working on a "crashworthy" bike.  Manufacturers would be required to make this bike the Feds design.  It would be all you could buy, if you could afford it.

The letters "ABATE" stand for A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments and American Bikers Aimed Toward Education.  ABATE of Kansas works for you!  For more info, email us at info@ksabate8.org
