DIXIE ABATE of ALABAMA
Dixie ABATE of Alabama is a motorcyclists' rights organization dedicated to preserving individual freedom and promoting safety. Our members fully support rider training, including safety and education programs, as well as motorcycle awareness education for all automobile drivers.
Dixie ABATE works to protect the rights of all motorcyclists through direct involvement in the political process. You, as an individual, can help the ongoing struggle against anti-motorcycle legislation, both here in Alabama, and across the United States by becoming a Dixie ABATE member.
Dixie 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.
Join us as we work toward uniting Alabama's riders so that we can help educate everyone who drives Alabama's roads and also keep an eye on Alabama's laws as they pertain to motorcycles and motorcycling.
