Safety, education, and motorcycle awareness are key aspects of ABATE, A Brotherhood Aimed Toward EDUCATION. The main focus is the High School Motorcycle Awareness Program for Drivers Education students. We talk with students about being aware of motorcycles on the road, how motorcyclists respond to road conditions, and how share the road with other vehicles. We also talk about the sport of motorcycling and encourage trained, safe, sober, legal motorcycle riding.
Safety and Education goes beyond the classroom. Motorcycle safety concerns are reviewed with chapter members with opportunities for First Aid/CPR classes and Accident Scene Management classes. Group riding skills are reviewed at the beginning of riding season. This benefits everyone, especially on group rides.
Reinforcing Motorcycle Awareness in the community is also important. We want people to START SEEING MOTORCYLES. Participating in Joliet Chamber of Commerce events (Mall Expo and Taste of Joliet) gives us the opportunity to talk with the community and make a connection. We are your nurses, dentists, truckers, secretaries, and neighbors on two wheels. Please SEE US.
