About Us

 EDUCATION NOT LEGISLATION

Chapter of ABATE of Illinois was founded in 1985 to:
Actively engage in the political process by supporting laws and regulations that protect the rights of motorcyclists, and opposing laws and regulations that infringe on motorcyclists' rights.

Help prevent motorcycle accidents through Rider Education and Motorcycle Awareness programs.

Foster political awareness and political involvement within our membership.
Promote a positive image of the motorcycling community to the general public.

 ABATE (A Brotherhood Aimed Towards Education) of Illinois is the State Motorcycle Rights Organization (SMRO) for all of Illinois. We work with other SMROs throughout the country, and the Motorcycle Riders Foundation in Washington DC to address the concerns of the motorcycling community and educate the public on our issues.  ABATE has thousands of members throughout Illinois. Our members are very passionate and active in politics, volunteering on many campaigns on both sides of the aisle. 

The Chicago Chapter of ABATE of Illinois have instructed thousands of students every year thru high school driver's education programs "Free of Charge".  Programs like these are designed to instruct new and inexperienced drivers how to look for and interact with motorcycles on the roadways.

If you are involved the the drivers education program and would like to have Us come out to your school or you are a member of the Chicago Chapter and would like to assist us.....
