Welcome to The Freeport ABATE Homepage
| Greetings from your local Freeport ABATE Chapter The purpose of this site is to inform and enlighten fellow riders about our chapter here in Northwest Illinois. Currently our chapter has over 300 members and we are still growing. This site will grow in time to include more information as well as photos about our chapter, its' members and activities to promote a safe and unrestricted motorcycling environment in Illinois as well as across the country. Our monthly meetings are the 3rd Sunday of every month with the exception of July when we don't meet. October through May we meet at PJ's Stephenson Street Station in Freeport Illinois. June through September we meet at the Pecatonica Wetlands about a mile north and west of Pecatonica Illinois. Meetings start at 12:30 sharp and we try to not let them go longer than two hours. We cover a lot of information at our meetings and encourage you to join us. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend our August meeting as it is our family picnic. Children are most welcome and we have special activities to keep them occupied during the meeting. Safety is a key initiative of ABATE. We encourage all members and non-members alike to ride safely.

We have just been informed that "geocities" (our website provider) is closing at the end of the year. We will have to find a new home.
