THE ABATE UPDATE T HE ABATE U P D A TE The mission statement of ABATE of Oklahoma is to promote and defend motorcyclists freedom, safety, and awareness through education and legislation to make Oklahoma the best place to ride. NEW STATE TREASURER SELECTED Bob “Mo” Mobley has been an active member of ABATE of Oklahoma member since 2013. He has been the webmaster since June 2014. He is the current Vice-President of Heartland Chapter and is a Motorcycle Riders Foundation member. Bob’s passion and drive of helping make the roads safer for the motorcycling community is fueled by the loss of his step-son to a motorcycle accident. Bob was not a motorcyclist when he first learned about and joined ABATE of Oklahoma. He soon bought a bike and took the MSF course to get his “M” endorsement before joining his brothers and sisters on the road. He can be found on many occasions volunteering his time assisting with a membership booth throughout the state to promote our cause. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach him at 405-761-8528 or by email at bobatheartlandabate@ gmail.com.
