Abate here had a lot to do with the repeal of the helmet law. Lobbied for it every year and had a large group at the state capitol to support the bill. That is just 1 example.

The AMA, and ABATE are both fighting for motorcycle rights. ABATE is geared more toward the state level (at least here in Florida that is where all their attention is), and only for on road riding. AMA is geared toward the national level and for all types of riding (on and off road). Both organizations are needed more than ever, and based on the laws passed in the last 4 years, a bigger national presents is needed.

VWV probably traded for those laws, allowing them to get passed in exchange for safety class fees or racing regulations that would make them more money.
They're as bad as insurance companies. They tell ya hey man I'm on your side. Mean while they create a need for themselves so they can make a fortune off of ya.

I have learned as of late that I neither support nor oppose any cause ,sa e for the degree in which it affects me. So if it makes you happy to join or oppose any group or cause then the world is better for having at least one happy person.
