How To Start A New Chapter
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.
