Moving forward in 2008, 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 2008/2009 session is as follows:

§           Continue efforts to repeal the helmet law.

§           Continue to build positive relationships with legislators.

§           Reduce or remove discriminatory and dangerous concepts in SB 375 threat to "Learners Permit".

§           Reduce or remove threats to the right to associate freely in SB 1324/HB 274 "Street Gang Prevention Act".

§           Identify alternative funding for and lobby for passage of SB 1121 "Motorcycle Crash Prevention Research Center ".

§           Increase consequences for right of way violations.

§           Introduce legislation for Anti-Discrimination/Equal Access Legislation for 2009.

§           Work with federal motorcycle rights organizations on issues that concern motorcyclists nationwide, including repair of

        the exclusionary loophole in the HIPPA Act.

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!
