History
and Background
Dry Riders, Inc. is a non-profit motorcycle club incorporated in the
state of Minnesota. It was formed by a small group of bikers in 1977 who saw a need for a motorcycle
club that did not use drugs or alcohol while riding. A club that is SAFETY minded and projects a FAMILY
ORIENTED IMAGE.
As a club, we are Not Crusaders. We have no 'ax to grind'.
We are not against others who use drugs or drink, but WE BELIEVE ALCOHOL AND DRUGS HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR CLUB.
Like other motorcycle clubs, we are enthusiastically committed to enjoying our sport. We ride all kinds of
bikes - Harleys, Hondas, Yamahas, Kawasaki's, Suzukis, BMWs - even Trikes.
Most weekends during
the summer there is a Chapter hosted function somewhere and chances are pretty good you will see different bikes and trikes
in attendance.
As a FAMILY ORIENTED Club, all family members enjoy membership
and adult members have equal voting rights - rider or not. However, passenger members may not vote on riding rules. Children
are welcome at most of our events and even have their own 'colors' and Chapter identification.
We
are non-denominational and are not affiliated with any other motorcycle club.
We welcome any motorcyclist
who believes in and practices our principals and enjoys our great sport as much as we do.
Chapters
At present, Chapters are located in Minnesota
and Wisconsin.
The Chapter is the basic organization unit of the Dry Riders. Each Chapter
is autonomous, except in matters affecting the Dry Riders as a whole.
