The Official Website for CMT/ABATE, Inc.

There are over 400,000 registered motorcyclists in the state of Tennessee.  We are YOUR Motorcycle Rights Organization.  WE are the ones who fight for your right to ride.  Join us and make sure your rights are protected.

 

Our Mission: CMT/ABATE, Inc. is not a "Biker Club", but a non-profit, political organization that was formed to preserve freedom and safety for all Tennesseans who enjoy motorcycling. Our major goals are to modify existing laws that are detrimental to motorcycle safety and enjoyment, and to enact new legislation in support of all motorcyclists who ride in Tennessee. If you are concerned about preserving personal freedom and motorcycle safety, please join us.


Local charters play a major role in making CMT/ABATE, Inc. an effective organization by contacting their area legislators to inform them of how the local membership feels about issues affecting motorcyclists.  
Find your closest local charter here.

 Motorcycle Awareness!

 


Most motorcycle fatalities involve another vehicle.  In order to

help motorists remember to keep an eye out for motorcycles,

CMT/ABATE  has teamed up with the Tennessee Department of

Safety and the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development

to give out litter bags at Welcome Centers throughout Tennessee.

 

Look Twice!  Save a Life!

Bills to watch!

 

 

HB0036/SB1350 – Under 18 off road helmet bill

 

 Call your legislators!  Let them know where you stand!

Our Senators and Representatives honestly want to hear from us.
When a bill comes up for discussion, they always want to know
how their constituents feel about that bill.  Call and tell them!

The next Board of Director's Meeting will be on September 13, 2009 - 1:00 PM Sharp

Check back here for more information.

HIPAA

Did you know that if you get hurt on your bike that your insurance company doesn't have to cover your injuries?  It's True! The HIPAA law that went into effect on 05/08/2001 allows them to exclude this coverage. Change it now. A Bill has been introduced ion the Senate - S423. CONTACT YOUR SENATOR! GET THEIR SUPPORT. Use the link on the left to contact them on both the HIPAA Law (Senate Bill 423 and the EPA regulations - bill number to come shortly.)
