ABATE of Illinois was first established as a corporation in 1975 and the reincorporated in 1981. The Tri-County Chapter was formed and then chartered in August of 2004. The mission of the members of A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois is to preserve the universal right to a safe, unrestricted motorcycling environment, and to propose and advocate actions that can be taken by elected and appointed officials to protect and conserve the natural resources of the State of Illinois, and ensure through professional management that sustainable use, recreational opportunities and enjoyment of these new resources is available for this and future generations.

No matter what make of motorcycle you ride, whether you ride every day, or just on weekends, or if you even ride at all, you need to be aware of everything that might affect your riding freedom. You may need to be involved in the process of protecting your own rights!!
