PB KNIGHTS MARCH NEWSLETTER


“it’s more than just a ride”

The Knights Table

Monthly Newsletter March 2013


Greetings from your President   Will

Happy 6 month anniversary to all  of The Palm Beach Knights MRC. It has been a great start. I have to say thank you to all our core members for their support. No club is perfect, but we are DAM close.  We are at 49 members strong and still growing. This month we had 3 new members sign up, and more to come.
I ask that all the Knights carry some of our cards(see Will if you need some) to help recruit new members. This helps keep the club growing and vibrant. If you meet another biker, hand them a card and tell them what a great club we have. The rest will take care of itself.
As the Winter comes to an end, we will loose 2 core member for the season. We will miss both Rick and Capt Ram. I know that they will be back with some great stories of their Summer.


Of Note:

We have started a mileage program. The first members have already received their certificate and a decal for reaching 100k miles with the PB KNIGHTS! The next level is 5000K miles. Look on the detail of each ride to see how many miles are awarded. If you would like to see your miles, just go to the pages tab and open



Don’t forget that any member can make a suggestion about a ride or an event. We are always looking for more new places to ride to. So if you know of a place or an event, make sure to suggest it on our website.

While we try to mix up our rides as much as possible, it's highly unlikely that I'm going to please everyone all the time. I hope everyone has been enjoying the rides that I have been on our schedule so far. I am always looking for feedback and new ideas. Your participation is what makes this club great.

 

Please remember that as “Knights” we need to do the following:

  1. Fill out the new members form. (see Will)
  2. Pay your support dues. ( you can also order a club shirt)
  3. Participate in an event at least every 90 days.(there are exceptions)
 
    We have been having some really awesome rides:
     
    We had perfect  weather for this one. It was a nice day out with our club. Tim one of our newest members join us. The food and view is great at the Marina, and the ride back took us through some roads(and areas) we had never been on.
     

    March 16   Tiki Bar & Restaurant
    Tim and I had the roads to ourselves as we head down Indian River Drive. We stopped at the craft/ farmers market and had a great lunch at the Tiki.


March 23rd  Ride and Shoot at Okeechobee Shooting Sports
Motorcycles, guns, and The Palm Beach Knights. Can it get any better. Thanks to Kruzen for organizing this one, and leading. We had a blast literally and figural. We had a great range guy who helped us all out with our technique.
