There are two classifications of members in the Pride Guardians motorcycle
club:
v The first
classification is a motorcycle operator. A motorcycle operator is an
individual that is licensed and actually operates/drives a motorcycle.
v The second
classification is a motorcycle rider (passenger). A motorcycle rider is
an individual that is not licensed and merely rides on a motorcycle with a club
member but still regularly attends meetings, rides, and club gatherings.
2.
To become a member, an individual must simply present
an interest in joining the club. Interest is established by spending time with
the club, attending club events, and joining in on rides with the club.
3.
Once interest is established, the individual may request or be asked by the
local chapter, if they would like to join the club. A simple majority vote of
the local chapter will be held to approve any new member.
4.
All makes, models, and styles of motorcycles are accepted and must be kept
street legal and all paperwork required to ride must be kept up to date (i.e.
Insurance – PGMC will not be responsible for any accidents occurring during a
Club Ride or Function).

encouraged to join a motorcycle rights organization.

and review the chapter account records will be allowed to do so.
