ABATE of South Carolina is Biker Rights.
A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments
ABATE of South Carolina, Inc. is the motorcyclists' rights organization of South Carolina. Our members brought freedom of choice to South Carolina bikers in June of 1980; ABATE amended South Carolina's mandatory motorcycle helmet law to allow adult freedom of choice. ABATE stands for A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments. Our philosophy is to defend liberty; while we do not oppose safety devices we oppose laws that mandate the usage of devices.
We all know what a watering hole is. It’s a place where people go to feel comfortable, to sit and relax, to get a drink of what they think they need or want, a place to replenish. A lot of people have a favorite watering hole, the place to get refreshments and to meet with others that are just like them. Most towns have a watering hole or two and it usually doesn’t take one much time to find them. It is a place of familiarity, a place where one can get what they feel they need. The problem with these watering holes and the refreshment they offer is normally you just get thirsty again and it is just a short run down the road.
