What We Do
Our Missions
Six missions, drawn from our bylaws.
Safety
Practice and promote motorcycle safety on every ride. Pre-ride briefing, deliberate formation, and a no-drop policy keep every rider accounted for.
Charity
Support causes that matter to our brothers and our community. Our flagship is the Greg Booth Ride, held every year in his memory to raise funds for the Local 1 Relief Committee.
About the RideRelief
Aid worthy and distressed brothers, widows, and orphans. The charge is written into our bylaws and carried out quietly, year after year.
Ride
Gather members for organized rides through the season, mixing long days, short runs, and shared coffee.
Honor
Follow the laws, rules, and regulations of the IBEW and the IBEW Motorcycle Riders International Inc., the parent body of all IBEW riding clubs.

What Our Members Say
“I always get this feeling of awe when I see motorcycles for as far as the eye can see. It's pretty cool when you see people coming out of their houses and businesses to get a look at us and wave at all the motorcycles.”
