THINKING OF JOINING CBA/ABATE? Want to know more about who we are? Please read on........
CBA/ABATE of NC is
a member-driven democratic organization. We are committed to serving the wishes
of the membership determined by majority vote. We strive to reclaim and preserve
the rights and freedoms of all motorcyclists regardless of affiliation with
other organizations or political persuasions.
In order to effect
change within our organization, the Board of Directors strongly encourage our
membership to participate in all committees and provide input regarding the
direction we should go. CBA/ABATE of NC meets quarterly and everyone is invited
to attend, whether you are a member or not.
If you are not a
member, we encourage you to join our organization and become active on the
issues that concern you.
Moving forward in
2010, the Executive Council comprised of the chapter officers of the
organization endorses the following position regarding helmet laws:
"CBA/ABATE of NC is
not opposed to helmets, HOWEVER, we are opposed to helmet laws. It is neither
our intention, nor our desire, to prevent anyone from riding with a helmet if
they so choose. WE are OPPOSED to legislative mandating of inappropriate,
antiquated, and dangerous restrictive standards. We believe the rider should
have the right to make a reasoned decision, or personal choice, regarding
helmets and other safety equipment.
In other words "LET THOSE WHO RIDE DECIDE"
Our legislative agenda for the 2010/2011 session
is as follows:
-
Increase number of voter registrations in the motorcycling community
-
Amend ROW (Misdemeanor Death by vehicle)
-
Mandatory Helmet Law Repeal
-
Seek a sponsor for a bill that prohibits discrimination against motorcyclist in all business and recreational establishments in NC
-
Enforce G.S.20-141.5 5 to establish uniform, state wide,"motorcycle-pursuit" policy for all law enforcement officals
-
Make highway barriers more motorcyclist-friendly
-
Prevent anti-gang legislation that targets motorcyclist
-
Prevent legislation targeting motorcycle noise emmisions
-
Defend against unfriendly bills that are introduced
CBA/ABATE is more
than just a legislative organization. Our members know there is something for
everyone. Whatever your interest is in motorcycling, you will find a place to
fit in, meet some really great people and have some fun along the way!
