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.

Here is a list of towns and states where we have Bikers Helping Bikers.

Bikers Helping Bikers is a FREE program where bikers volunteer to help other bikers traveling through their town. The type of help needed will vary from the biker that has a minor breakdown and needs to borrow some tools, to someone that has an accident and needs someone else to give their passenger a ride.

In order to join this program, you should be a biker and be willing to help other bikers. In return, you will get what you give. When you give us your name, phone number and the name of the city and state where you live, in return we will give you a phone number to call in the event you ever need help while you are traveling. So what are you waiting for? Send an email to FTW or the site admin and let them know you are willing to help other bikers.

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?
