ABATE of Indiana is the largest motorcycle training company in Indiana, training between 5500 and 7000 riders each year. Call the state office at 1-800-23ABATE for info on class locations and schedules. We use the MSF curriculum for the state program.
Indiana DOES count scooters, mopeds, and off road fatalities in the total of deaths recorded. That is why ABATE has been lobbying to require registration of those scooters and mopeds in the total number of vehicles.
In 2011 there were 119 fatalities on motorcycles statewide. I believe the number of registered bikes was 270,000. Approximately 28 of the fatalities were on scooters and mopeds, but they are not counted in the "registered motorcycles", which makes the ratio of fatalities to registered motorcycles disproportionately higher. Starting in January, all scooters and mopeds will have to be plated. The ratio next year will be cut in half.
