The origin of
MVC LEO
As members of
the Intruder Owners Club, we, Patty and myself, found that 1 tour a month
was just not enough. And there was little or no activity as far as biker
rallies were concerned.
Because we had
for some time been toying with the idea of starting a motor friends club
of our own, we finally decided to put our money where our mouth is. And so
we, Patty and myself, made all the preparations a few weeks before the
launch date of the website and forum.
On the
1st
of October 2004
we started informing people of our plans.
Since
then we have had many tours and been to rallies and everybody is
enthousiastic.
We have been a
democratic club with a fully elected governing board since January 2006.
In principle, anyone can become a candidate member, you have to have at
least a motocycle license or a driver’s license in case you want to ride
a trike.
Conditional to becoming a full member is fitting into the group.
Therefore we have an initiate period before one may become a full member.
. We do
however, expect that he/she participates in as many activities possible
and are not inactive.
A very important rule that we do have is that safety of all our members
comes first place. Therefore, this means that during tours no alchohol is
tolerated.
Further, we are not looking for quarrelsome, brawl seeking members in
our club. We will also put a stop to candidate membership enrollment if
our club starts to get too large, this mainly to ensure the safety of our
present members during tours.
Spouses of partners are also automatically members even though they do
not ride a motor or trike themselves.
Make and model is not important, as long as it has a cylinder
minimum of 250cc. The tours are ridden in a tour tempo, road races during
a tour are not permitted.
We have a website and a forum
where you can find support for your hobby and where you also may
contribute your 2 cents.
The conditions for using the
forum are clearly stated on the forum itself.
Please read this well and take note. In the winter the forum is
used a lot more. In the coming season, we wil be visiting rallies and will
be maintaining and expanding the friendships with other clubs
by visiting them as well.
We want to enjoy motorcycle
riding to the fullest extent. BBQ’s
and internal parties are a part of establishing our solidarity.
We have faith in a bright future
for MVC L.E.O. especially considering the members that we already have.
On behalf of the board,
Mazl Pres. MVC LIMBURG EN OMSTREKEN.
