Disclaimer

This MC Information Section is not something we came up with it is common knowledge throughout the MC Community most recently posted on http://www.rcvsmc.net/. Go ahead just ask an old head and they'll get you straight. And always adhere to the GOLDEN RULE!

Golden Rule

"If you give respect, you will get respect. If you act like a bamma, you will be treated like a bamma!"

MC Organization

Just an example of basic duties and responsibilities of one MC club. Each club and even chapters within the same club will have differences.

Principal Officers – Executive Committee

There shall be five voting officers for each chapter; President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Sergeant-at-Arms. These officers make up the executing committee. The Road Captain shall serve on the Executive Committee as a non voting member, except while serving as an alternate.

Protocol Basics

These are some things for you, as a Riding Club member, to consider when dealing with motorcycle clubs. They are also things to consider if and when you are going to be around motorcycle clubs.

1. Patchholders are people too. They have good and bad days, they have jobs, families, and normal everyday problems and concerns just like anyone else. There are those who no matter what you say or do, it will not be right with them. Just like with any group, you will find both good and bad.

MC/RC Differences

MC: What is expected of a Prospect...
RC: What is expected of a RC member ...

MC: As a Prospect, strive to conduct yourself as a responsible Patchholder at all times.
RC: As a RC member, strive to conduct yourself in a responsible manner so as to not give your club a bad name. Whether you are wearing your patch or not, common courtesy and respect for ANY individual you make contact with will always leave a good impression of you, your club and motorcyclists in general.

MC Basics

The intent of this section is to give you an overview of the structure and philosophy of the traditional motorcycle club (MC). This does not necessarily express the feelings or priorities of any particular club, as all motorcycle clubs differ on some points. Regardless of the basic philosophy of this group, it is important that you understand the perspectives of other clubs that you may be associating with from time to time.

If motorcycles influence your lifestyle, then you are part of the motorcycle community. Of all the types of organizations found within that community, the traditional motorcycle club stands apart and ranks highest in stature.
