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.

Older Bikers Riding Club is NOT an Internet club. That means, we will never take an application via email and simply mail a backpatch to you. That's not what this lifestyle, or this club, is all about. We wear our backpatch with pride and honor. If you want to ride with us, you have to be known to us and we have to be comfortable having you ride in front, beside or behind us. We also need to know that your actions, while wearing the Older Bikers Riding Club patch, will not have a negative reflection on our reputation.
