About The Tribe MC, and how to join

Welcome to The Tribe Motorcycle Club, a Washington DC area Motorcycle Club for Jewish riders. The Tribe MC is all about promotion, encouragement and growth of Jewish traditions and knowledge within the context of motorcycling and social activities. We have a number of rides, some organized well in advance and others more ad hoc. Our ride calendar is being developed for 2009, and will contain a complete and continuously updated list of our organized rides — please check it regularly.

The Tribe officers are:

  • Jay — President
  • Louis — Vice President
  • Henry — Treasurer
  • Betsy — Secretary

In addition to the above officers, (POSITION VACENT, PLEASE SEE “Search for a new Road Rabbi” BELOW) serves as the club’s Ride Rabbi.

To contact any officer, or for general information, e-mail: info@thetribemc.com. If you want a specific person, please list that person in the subject line.

To get on our e-mail list, subscribe to the Jewishriders Mailing List on Yahoo Groups.

We will be adding a calendar for upcoming rides and meetings.
