...one can easily see how the history of James "Doc" Reichenbach II's ABATE of Florida illustrates the tragic decay and decline of an SMRO. First, "ABATE" stood for:

A
Brotherhood
Against
Totalitarian
Enactments

Then, lacking the courage of their convictions and seeking the cash contained in the state safety coffers, they traded rights for revenues and "ABATE" became:

American
Bikers
Aiming
Towards
Education

And of course once rights were no longer the primary concern, it was a short slide to the point where charity beerfests replaced politics with partying, and "ABATE" decayed to:

Always
Bring
Alcohol
To
Events

"The battle for bikers' rights is not about patches, parties or poker runs. We fight to protect the freedom and promote the interests of American motorcyclists ... to defend our right to choose our own modes of transportation, attire and lifestyle ... to deter and defy discrimination against us ... and to vanquish those who violate our rights or right-of-way. And in the end, it will not matter to us whether we won or lost. But it will matter to us greatly that we fought."--Bruce Arnold
