What is ABATE of Indiana?

Our interests range from street to off-road, educational to legislative, philanthropic activity and everything in between, with a non-discriminatory foundation towards the promotion and preservation of motorcycling for future generations.
ABATE was established in 1975 to represent the best interests of motorcyclists and the sport of motorcycling at the Indiana Statehouse and throughout Hoosier communities. Our presence during the legislative session ensures that motorcyclists are represented, giving a "voice" to Indiana riders for more than 43 years.
Whether it's a discriminatory fee, unfair law, or issue that affects motorcycling, ABATE is a respected authority and serves as a resource for lawmakers, business leaders, community officials, and motorcyclists. Click here for more about ABATE.

Discover Indiana Riding Trails
In 2010, ABATE welcomed the state's OHV (off-highway vehicle) advocacy authority, Discover Indiana Riding Trails (DIRT) into our family. DIRT brings their expertise in everything off-road, and their dedication in preserving OHV rights while providing future opportunities here in Indiana.
DIRT has worked hard to bring OHV opportunities to all Hoosiers through their past and continued efforts, creating relationships with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and other state agencies to open, maintain and develop new opportunities throughout the state. They have also played a vital role in opening over 5,000 acres of state-owned land.
With DIRT's involvement, the DNR opened Red Bird SRA (State Recreational Area), an OHV park with 1,200 acres in 2003. In 2008, the DNR opened Interlake, Indiana's second OHV/multi-use park with 3,500 acres.
If it involves OHV in Indiana, DIRT is in it.
