Welcome to Older Bikers Riding Club
Tuesday, February 09 2010 @ 05:34 AM EST
Three Basic RulesWelcome to the Older Bikers Riding Club website. This site may contain adult or x rated language and photographs, therefore you must be 18 or older to enter this site.
The Older Bikers Riding Club is a motorcycle riding club for older bikers that LOVE to ride their bikes and want to enjoy their remaining years as much as possible. We have some members that got back into riding after their children grew up and left home, other members that "used" to be patch holders in weekend MC's or 1% MC's and women that just started riding. The common bond we all have is that we love riding and want to spend as much time riding as possible, while our health allows us to.
It's all about riding, going to rallies and friendships. We don't ride from bar to bar. Our policy is that we never drink and ride. We save the drinking for rallies where our bikes are parked for the night.
As old school bikers, we promote the enjoyment of riding motorcycles, brotherhood, family responsibility, and respect for others as well as for ourselves. We do require that every chapter has at least ONE experienced old school biker, preferably an ex-patch holder that can help educate the newer riders on proper riding techniques as well as acceptable policies when dealing with current patch holders from MC's they meet at rallies and other motorcycle events. Our goal is to gain the respect of citizens as well as other bikers, not only because of our age and wisdom, but also because of our respect for them.
We do NOT charge a membership fee or annual dues in order to join our motorcycle riding club, however in order to ride with us, we do have THREE basic rules.
Locations of Current Older Bikers Riding Club Members
1: You must ride a motorcycle or trike. When we say ride, we are looking for people that are out riding every week during the summer, traveling to rallies, bike nights, poker runs and using any other excuse they can find to ride.
2: No drinking while riding. We do NOT stop at bars when we are out riding. You can drink as much as you want when you arrive at a rally or get home, but we do not allow drinking while riding with us.
3: NEVER abandon another biker. If we see another biker on the side of the road, we always stop to help and never leave another biker sitting alone.
Keep in mind that we are not an Internet club or Association, therefore we do not hand out a club patch to just anyone. While we are a riding club instead of a motorcycle club, we are still particular about the quality of riders that represent us, therefore all new members MUST meet with, ride with and/or attend a rally with an existing "old school" member of our club, before a backpatch will be issued.
If these rules are acceptable and you would like to join our riding club, Click here to access our online application

Part of the goal through the Older Bikers Riding Club is to help "teach" other members how to ride safely and how to live safely.
Normally, through our chapters, when we have group rides, we will take a few moments at the end of the ride so the more experienced riders can offer a few riding tips to the newer riders. These tips can cover the road conditions, curves, emergency stops, weather, handling problems resulting from mechanical failure or anything else they may have experienced during the ride. But, there is another very important aspect involving safety and that involves the interaction with other bikers.
For those of us old enough to remember living in the 40's, 50's or 60's, we can remember and age when many of us did not lock the doors to our homes, cars or bikes. But times have changed and I doubt there are many people out there now that leave there homes unlocked when they are gone or would leave their bikes sitting outside a motel room unlocked, because we have learned that we need to protect our property.

There are many benefits that come with being part of the Older Bikers RC. Most of them involve the "family" association and the good times spent with other members.
Yesterday I was reminded of another benefit. Having bro's available to help you when needed.
While on my chopper, I had just crossed the bridge leaving Indiana and arriving into Kentucky when I started to feel some excessive vibration. My old shovelhead has a lot more vibration then the newer bikes, but what I was experiencing was extreme, even for my shovel.
I rode for several more miles and then noticed that whenever I would let off the gas, it seemed like my brakes were dragging, so I started looking for a place to pull over without getting run over by the semi I had just passed.
As I started to slow down, a pickup truck passed me and pointed to my bike. That confirmed the fact that I had a problem and needed to pull over right away.

We are interested in recruiting ex 3 piece patch holders over the age of 40, that LIVE to RIDE and miss the connection and bond they used to have with old club members, but don't want all the hassle that comes with belonging to SOME of the patched clubs, especially anyone that previously held an elected office in a club and lives in an area where we do not have an active chapter yet.
If you would be interested in recruiting other mature bikers that love to ride, helping us set up new chapters in your state and TEACHING other members how to show respect to patch holders and other bikers, please send FTW an e-mail.

Life is about making choices.
Last Saturday, when I woke up, I had to make a choice. The temps were only supposed to be in the 40's all day long, so I could stay at home where it was warm, and do one of those nasty 4 letter words "w-o-r-k" OR I could get on my bike and go to a bike scavenger hunt. I choose to go on the bike scavenger hunt.

Need Bikers that Live by Old School Traditions
We need to hear from Older Bikers Riding Club members that grew up in the old school ways of helping other club members and are willing to still live by those rules.
Since we have so many members making road trips across the country, we need to hear from our members that live by the Old School Traditions of helping other club members and are willing to offer visiting members a SAFE place to pitch a tent and park their bikes for the night.

Would you help an Older Biker in trouble?
If you saw a big motorcycle laying on the ground in a gas station or restaurant parking lot and the owner was having trouble picking it up, would you stop to help?
If you saw a motorcycle broken down in front of your house, would you offer to help the owner?
If you met a biker inside a gas station or restaurant and discovered they were too sick to ride their bike home, would you offer to drive them home or transport their bike home for them?

As an Older Biker, my primary goal is to spend as much time on my bike as possible. My second goal is to enjoy the companionship of as many other Older Bikers as possible.
When I joined the Older Bikers Riding Club, there were no other members living in my town, so I decided to recruit new members that I could ride with. I started by carrying a stack of brochures in my bike, my coat pocket and my truck. That way, wherever I went, I would always have some brochures with me.
The next step was

Fake Motorcycle Club T-Shirts
There is a company that is currently selling T-shirts online, representing FAKE Motorcycle Clubs. One shirt uses the words, "Hell Razors Motorcycle Club" with the additional wording "cut throat" and 1938, along with an image of a straight razor on the front and back of the shirt and Pasadena, Calif on the back. There is also a small diamond on the left sleeve, containing either a 1% or 13, but due to the angle of the image, I can not determine positively which insignia it is.

Why You Should Ride With A Club
Why you ride and the type of riding you do, will have a major impact on your decision to join a club or not. Since I am not involved with hill climbing, races, or moto-cross, I can not speak to those types of riders. However if you ride a cruiser and like traveling down the highway on your bike, then I will be happy to let you know why I choose to ride with a club.
SAFETY
Cars WILL turn in front of a motorcycle.
Drivers are in a hurry, they don't see you, or they just don't care about you. Regardless of the reason whey they turn in front of you, the fact is that I as well as many of my brothers have laid down our scooters in order to avoid hitting a car broadside. By riding with a group of bikers, you greatly reduce the risk of having cars pull out or turn in front of you.

New Chapters
If you do not currently have an existing chapter of Older Bikers Riding Club in your area and would like to start one please read the following info.
Basically, starting a new chapter would involve us using the Internet to advertise and promote the opening of a new chapter in your area, in order to attract other Older Bikers from your town. As we receive additional applicants from your area, we would ask you to meet with them in person to make sure they are serious bikers and not just motorcycle owners that only ride occasionally.
As new members are accepted from your town, it will give you the opportunity to ride with them and start building a bond. As soon as there are at least 6 members over the age of 40, from your area, it will be up to those members to elect officers and form a "Sanctioned Chapter" that will become responsible for scheduling poker runs, benefit rides and other activities that will help to promote good will in the area.
Of those first 6 members, at least FOUR of them will need to be Men and at least one member MUST have at least 25 years experience riding OR have been a full patch member of a 3 piece patch club. This person will be your local representative when dealing with your local COC and a "trainer" that can teach newer members proper etiquette when dealing with other bikers, especially members of other clubs.
In order for your group to become a sanctioned chapter, one or more "Charter Members" from another chapter will meet with you and supervise your elections and personally verify your members eligibility. These "Charter Members" will also explain our policies regarding the wearing of any merchandise containing our club logo, including back patches.
Once sanctioned by the visiting "Charter Members", your local chapter will be offered the option of receiving shirts, caps and back patches containing our logo.
You will also be encouraged to attend bike rallies where you can meet with and enjoy the companionship of members from other chapters.
In conclusion,

During the summer months, being able to attend a local "Bike Night" event on a regular basis is nice because it helps you to meet other bikers, make new friends and reacquaint yourself with old friends.
However during the colder winter months, when many of the "Bike Night" events are cancelled in the colder states, it can be hard for bikers to find events on a regular basis where they can meet up with other bikers.
Therefore I am proposing that each chapter of Older Bikers set up a weekly "game" night where our members can get together for bowling, cards, pool, dinner or some other indoor event on a regular basis during the winter months.
Give me some feedback on this idea and see if others would appreciate being able to maintain the fellowship during the winter as much as I would.

If you have never attended a Motorcycle Rally or camped at one, you may want to conduct a bit of research before you go. I would also very highly recommend that you go "with" a group or club instead of traveling by yourself.
Transporting a tent
Unless you are towing a trailer behind your bike that you can transport your tent in, I would suggest you strap a tent to your handlebars, (if you don't have a faring) or carry it standing upright on your passenger seat if you have a sissy bar to strap it to. My reason behind these suggestions is because it is almost impossible to find a tent short enough to fit crossways behind you, without blocking the view through your mirrors unless you can position it where it will ride above or below the view from your mirrors.
