[Chris Yamaha]

Are there any motorbike clubs in Cleckheaton or the near areas?

Other than the jax teller cosplay society? And the brotherhood of the welded sprocket?

Use Google to find the ones that are internet aware. Hang about bike nights, bike cafes and roadside cafes that appear to have motorcycles hanging around outside and you'll begin to get in the know. Small spares shops, garages and dealerships will have flyers, posters and suchlike.

I've had cards for owners clubs and the like wedged in my seat parked at j&s, in town and similar, and just being about and not to dislikeable gets me invited into a few in-group rideouts that aren't part of anything so formal as a club.

I'm not sure what you have to do to get invited to prospect for an MC as such. Best avoided.

If you want to look like you're in an mc, hang around a Harley dealership in your best leather daddy getup.

Women don't ride bikes. It's a myth. They're in the kitchen making me a sandwich

The first rule of motorcycle club is :
'You DO NOT talk about Motorcycle Club!'

I always forget the second rule

I used to be in a local bike club for a while when I was last into bikes. We had two off road days organised, a track day at Mallory, and a few club nights at the bar with speakers like advanced riding instructors, and people that had done restos or special builds.

The best one was the bloke that built a 3litre Essex powered trike and then put a supercharger on it, then re-did it all again EFI and twin turbos.

The only bit I liked was the Friday night pub meets, as other groups of non club member bike owners would also go out and meet up for a couple of pints, instead of just the boring arrogant bastards in the club itself.

I eventually got pissed off with all the PMT wankers, and just went out riding on my own and had more fun too!

MC are for losers. And you need Harley as well

Dear person from Macedonia,

This is a genuine attempt to help you, not to show off, name drop, or to spread gossip or dissent amongst the (fairly small) ladies in the MC world.

In terms of the women found amongst the mens' clubs, well good luck with that. It's a fairly closed shop. Even I struggle to break into it

There are several womens MC clubs that you could consider researching, although the reception you might receive in approaching them online is likely to be "frosty" to say the least.

If you were in the UK, currently you could find members of the several, as there are a couple of "recognised" women's clubs. I am not sure of their current membership, as I don't really socialise in those circles these days. But I have met women from several such clubs, and in general they are perfectly approachable in person - charming, even, in most instances.

I honestly believe you would be better off approaching such in person, as anxiety and suspicion are no less of a thing in womens MC clubs than in the men's equivalents. Befriending women in these environments can be a time-consuming and lengthy process. Even in person I was treated with suspicion for quite a long time (although that might have been something to specifically do with who I was hanging around with - a heady combination of lust and naivete is my only valid excuse )

Almost all of them are sociable, outgoing and smart women. Very few suffer fools gladly. Many of them build, fix and service their own bikes and ride them with as much dedication and integrity as their male counterparts.

Women do, of course, ride together in other, less "formalised" groups, but I know even less about them than about the above.

Good luck!

P.S. You don't "need" a Harley.

I prefer an 1-2ft club made from ash with dimples and grooves for additional grip.

Motorcycle clubs are for people, that don't actually like riding motorcycles. All they want to do is to chat with other people, that also actually don't like riding. Mostly about their heroic stunts on the way to the club and how they were once young and jumped over a river on their Triumph or did wheelies before it was cool, once did 200mph on their mate's Kawasaki CBR1000RR Hayabusa, and so on.
