you love the feeling you get when you put your machine on the road?
- Do
you want to always be able to enjoy these freedoms without more restrictions?
- Do
you want to dress as you like, park where others park and be welcome in all
public places?
If
these are important issues to you as a motorcyclist, come and join us at a CBA/ABATE
meeting. We will explain to you the importance of being a CBA/ABATE member and
why you, as a motorcyclist, should remain alert and aware of political
activities concerning motorcycling. FIND A MEETING NEAR YOU!
We
welcome ALL makes of bikes and their riders. We do not discriminate. We share a
common bond .... that of the open road.
In
order to protect your right to ride, it is necessary that you include yourself
among the thousands of North Carolina motorcyclists who have banded together to
form the most effective grassroots motorcyclists' rights organization (MRO) in
the state. Someone in the motorcycling community must take the action to monitor legislators to make sure
they do not pass laws that adversely effect motorcyclists.
Since
the 1970s, the CBA has taken on this responsibility in North Carolina. We are
concerned about supporting fair legislation and legislators and increasing the
level of governmental funding for rider safety education. We provide training
classes for high school drivers’ education students and teach the new drivers to
share the road with motorcycles.
CBA
works to protect your rights at the state level. We work in conjunction with the
Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) to support fair federal legislation and we
get involved with motorcycling on a national level by attending national
motorcycling seminars and conferences.
Over
the past few years, we have reached out to the community through various
charitable efforts. At Christmas we donate toys and meals to less fortunate
families, participate in the Marine Corps "Toys for Tots" toy runs, and have
donated decorations and decorated nursing homes at Christmas time. CBA is a
grateful supporter of our military. We show our support for our soldiers by
shipping cases of books and magazines to our deployed troops. We also support
our fellow riders by making financial donations to downed riders and attending
fund raisers to support our brothers and sisters in need.
As CBA
members we have several goals. Riding more and sharing time with others with
similar interests are some of them. With chapters in 22 North Carolina counties
and almost 2000 members, the CBA is a family of riders who band together for
group rides and events all across the state. We host various events around the
State and encourage you to attend and learn more about our organization and have
some fun while you are at it!
CBA is
a true brotherhood and sisterhood of freedom loving riders who remain alert and
aware of political activities concerning motorcycling. Many members of riding
clubs and manufacturer sponsored clubs also complement their memberships in
those riding clubs with a membership in the CBA. Having a membership in the CBA
keeps them informed and educated on issues important to them and expands their
friendships and fun ride opportunities. We will ride together, have fun, help
the community, and also keep you informed.
