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.
"..It
does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless
minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.." Samuel Adams 
(April 2)
The next Board of
Director's Meeting will be on 06/08/2008 - 1:00 PM Sharp

year-end.

-
HB1536/SB0101
which would make it illegal to carry children under 12 as passengers
on a motorcycle.

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
