BECOMING A MEMBER
GUT-CHECK
We’re looking for Namibian riders who want to be members of established motorcycle riding club and get out regularly for motorcycle fun. Every member lives by a shared code of conduct and can be counted on to support the other without question of motives or uncertainty of character. If that sounds something you’d like to be a part of, this might be the club for you.
If you’re out to prove to the world (or yourself) that you’re a “bad ass” biker because you wear a patch, move on.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
There are some additional criteria we look for and discuss with every person interested in joining, but here are some of the core requirements to become and stay a member to get an idea of the expectations of The Handle Bar Riding Club:
- Be eighteen years of age or older with an insured motorcycle and current motorcycle driver’s license;
- Ride a mechanically sound motorcycle;
- Not use illegal narcotics or abuse prescription drugs;
- Not have convictions for violence against women or children, or be convicted of a sex crime;
- Learn, abide by, and enforce the Club’s Bylaws, policies and protocols, and live by our code.
MEMBERSHIP PROCESS
We like start this process the old fashion way – online application and face to face. Contact us, and we’ll invite you to come hang out with us so you can get to know the members, they can get to know you, and you can learn about the mission, activities and lifestyle of the riding club first-hand. As a hang-around, there’s no commitment and we are all given the chance to see if it is a good mutual fit.
After being a hang-around, learning about the expectations of potential membership, you may be appointed as a member. You will begin your time of listening, learning and serving the club, showing your commitment and capability to uphold to the mission, culture and protocols of the club and the greater motorcycle community
