Who are we?
Southern Cruisers is an International club with over 500 Chapters in 48
states and 7 foreign countries and a membership of more than 35,000.
Here in North Carolina we have over 1300 members and 21 chapters. We are
first and foremost a riding club dedicated to the safe enjoyment of our
motorcycles and the support of the motorcycling community. This is a
non-brand specific club, so whether you ride a Harley, a Suzuki, a
Honda, a Yamaha, a Kawasaki, or a Vespa, you are welcome to ride with
us.
Annual dues:
$0.00
Attendance:
Southern Cruisers expects members to participate at least every 90 days.
We consider participation to be participating in chapter rides or
events, attending the monthly meeting or coming to PT Grille on Friday
nights. If you can’t make it for an extended period of time, just let us
know.
Rules:
Ride safe, don't do anything illegal, don't do anything to embarrass the
club. (There are rules to deal with safe group riding outlining
hand signals, etc; for the safety of the group.)
How does the club support itself?
While there are sales of club patches, belt buckles, watches, and other
items available through an independentonline
store. As a member, you are not required to buy a patch or anything
else. How you support the club is up to you and how you feel about your
club.
The club itself is a not for profit type club and all positions are
voluntary. The club supports itself through the work and participation
of it's membership.
As an organization, SCRC tries to be involved in as many charity
fundraisers as possible. Some of the funds supported nationally are: St.
Judes Hospital, Missing Children Foundation, and The Foundation for
Children's Brain Tumor Research. We are always happy to participate in
Toy Runs, or any other local events where we may be of help.
Port City Chapter #162:
The Port City chapter, organized in November, 2000, is located in
Wilmington, NC, between the Atlantic and the great Cape Fear river. We
want to extend an open invitation to all bikers, regardless of brand of
bike to join us, help us grow, and enjoy our beautiful weather, scenery,
and brotherhood here on the southeast coast. We ride every week with
most rides averaging about 100 miles with breaks in between and usually
a lunch stop. We also ride with other chapters of SCRC and sometimes
with other clubs.
Ride & Other Meeting Times:
Port City Chapter has rides every Saturday at 10:00 A.M. and the first
Sunday of the month at 2:00 P.M. in the summer and 1:00 P.M. in the
winter. Our normal get together point is the BP station at 132 North and
Murrayville Road, near Laney High and Northchase. On the 2nd Tuesday of
each month we have an informal dinner meeting at 7:00 P.M. at the
Carolina Barbecue just behind the BP Station at Murrayville
