Who Are the Jurassic Riders?
Jurassic Riders are a unique group organization NOT having any club rules or constitution, bylaws or operating regulations and NO elections nor officers. No dues either! We have both male and female riders. Age is irrelevant. Prerequisites are only possess a love of motorcycling and maintain your wheels in safe riding condition.
The club was formed in 2005 and was originally comprised of mainly Burgman motorcycles. As the years rolled on many graduated to Harley’s but was certainly not restricted to hogs. Metric transportation was included too as someone must surely carry repair tools for the former!
Most rides are mid-week when traffic is less and activity opportunities are readily available. Thursday is our normal riding day to allow members to have weekends free for family responsibilities. Often smaller groups may organize additional rides on other days to
facilitate flexibility in member’s schedules. This is encouraged for the simple reason of promoting the sport of motorcycling and viewing the beautiful Okanagan valley and outlying regions.
Some riders may choose to bring a partner or friend as a passenger. Each rider covers their own expenses and is to have their ride in safe operating condition. All machines must be capable of maximum highway speeds for safety.
Riding season is from April to October. We assemble each week at a pre-designated place and time and usually have breakfast before beginning the day’s journey. It is not unusual to log over 300 kilometers on our ride days and of course lunch is always an adventure at affordable, good restaurants. During the off season we continue meeting weekly at noon for luncheons (November to March) for camaraderie . Check our Ride Schedule links for further information.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MOTORCYCLES
"As the world shrinks and fewer frontiers remain to be explored, as technology insulates travel from the elements of risk, self-reliance and ingenuity, the motorcycle stands alone as the custodian of these fading values. With each passing year, the motorcycle seems to become even more appropriate as a means of retaining the sense of adventure, individuality and freedom that is missing from all other forms of popularly accessible transportation." From "Legacy" an article in the July 1988 issue of the AMA's magazine American Motorcyclist. |
