ABATE of California is more than just a statewide circle of motorcycle lovers. Membership provides you access to a wide variety of legal resources, news updates and regional events. (These programs are subject to change.)

Members receive a sew-on patch for their first year membership and year pins thereafter.

A monthly newsletter, 'The Bailing Wire', is available online every month, printed copies (every other month) are available at the Local meetings and our Business Members throughout California. Non-Business Members may also advertise in the Bailing Wire’s classified section at no cost.
