I am a modern day Hippie.  I like my freedom and ability to ride what I want, where I want, wearing what I want.  I don't tell you how to live your life and I expect the same respect back.      I believe we only have one life to live and I chose to go through it having a great time.

New to riding I took a S.T.A.R. course and met my best friend.  She introduced me to the wonderful family of Abate.  I enjoy being both a rider and a passenger.  Every season I take a new course from S.T.A.R. This year I will be learning how to ride with a passenger so I can take my kiddo along with me.  I lead a pretty quiet life and like it that way, just me and my daughter and our doggo.  I am pretty sure if my daughter let me buy a side car for my dog no one would see the 3 of us again.

DEPUTY COORDINATOR

Greg McDowell

Like many of you, have a lifetime passion for two wheels. At an early age, building a mini-bike from scratch and graduating to my first almost “real” motorcycle, Honda Trail 70. This led to a step up, Suzuki 185 Enduro, and it was all “up-hill” from there. Enjoyed a successful foray into motorcycle racing scene with noted success at the local and state levels, including; Desert, Grand Prix and Moto-X. Achieving professional and expert certification levels in Open Class (400CC and larger). Older now, and as gravity always wins, wisdom has prevailed driven by longer “healing” periods. Have “retired” to the street, and comradery of fellow riders. Building on a passion for this industry, and our freedom to enjoy the open road.

MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY

Belinda Carson
 

Hi all!!  My name is Belinda Carson  AKA  "Tigger", and I ride a trike made by my Husband, Ron.  I have been an ABATE member since 2007, since my husband introduced me to the organization.  I am an active member and believe in what ABATE stands for, and I love meeting new people.  You probablly have met me at one time or another on rides or volunteering for different  events.  I do believe that ALL of us should get more involved with our communities and with our government.  We all need to keep our representatives inline with our rights and such, or we will lose those rights.  So I say to all my "brothers and sisters" out there on the road,  get involved, even if, by becoming a member of ABATE, your voice will be heard by numbers. Ride hard, ride safe ........
