Upcoming Event: Axe Throwing w/ Open Roads

Posted on March 11, 2024 by nklapatch

This spring, DuKane ABATE is adding something new to the event schedule: axe thowing! DuKane will be collaborating with Open Roads ABATE in this event, and members of both chapters will vie for the title of Axe Throwing Champs.

We’ll be coming together at Bull & Bear Axe Throwing in Montgomery at 12:45 pm on March 23. Axe throwing will cost $29.99 per person. We’ll also be having a late lunch afterwards at Poor Boy’s Pub.

Please call Kevin on (815) 545-6114 before March 18 to reserve a spot. We must have a number of participants by this date.

Call to Action: Oppose IL Helmet Mandates!

Posted on March 3, 2024 by nklapatch

Illinois is facing the first mandatory helmet bill in over a decade! The bill, created by State Representative Daniel Didech, is HB5620. Below is an excerpt (the language added by the bill is underlined):

“The operator of a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or
moped and every passenger thereon shall be protected by a motorcycle helmet and glasses, goggles, or a transparent shield.”

If Representative Didech gets his way, riders will lose the freedom to decide when it comes to safety gear. If you oppose riders losing this freedom, please head over to abate-il.org/helmet to learn about filing slips to oppose this bill.
