Welcome to ABATE of NY Rensselaer County chapter

The Rensselaer County Chapter, through its members and volunteers, attends many charitable activities and events. The chapter also hosts many charitable events and activities to raise funds for charitable organizations in the community for first responders , military , pet rescues, and food drives for low-income/needy families. We are a non-profit organization and rely on members and donations to support these events that give back to these great organizations. We promote motorcycle safety and awareness by providing information and education to the general public, riders and non riders alike regarding motorcycle skills, safety and awareness to try to keep all that share the road safe. It is the goal of this chapter, at all times, to promote a positive image of motorcycle enthusiasts through our educational, patriotic, and charitable functions. We are not a motorcycle or riding club.
