CLUB LISTINGS Steelettto Wheels Women are making their mark in sectors all over the world, and the world of motorcycling is no exception. On PEI, more and more women are getting into the motorcycling lifestyle – as riders, rather than passengers. Women who want to ride now have an opportunity to join a group especially for them: the Steeletto Wheels. Started in August/September of 2007, the group now boasts 35 members. “We’re really excited,” says group Treasurer Sue Platts. “Word is just getting out; we’re in the process of getting a logo done up. We want our own identity.” The group meets at 7 pm at Outriders restaurant on the Mt. Edward Road, on the third Tuesday of the month. They may move the meetings to accommodate those who live outside of Charlottetown, so check it out. There is a nominal membership fee of $10.00 for the year. “This is an all inclusive group, for women of all ages who have varied interests in bikes,” says Platts. “All types of bikes are welcome. You can own & ride your own bike, ride on the back of a bike, be planning to purchase a bike or just love anything about them. You don't have to ride to be a member of this group!!!” For more information on the Steeletto Wheels, contact Platts at: <suesue00118@hotmail.com>
SOUTHERN CRUISERS RIDING CLUB The Southern Cruisers Riding Club is a free, family-oriented Motorcycle riding club that uses the Web to communicate with its members, and focuses on the enjoyment and fellowship of riding motorcycles while doing so safely. The Southern Cruisers rules are very simple: Members don’t have to attend all club meetings. There are no tasks to perform, and no commitments of any kind. However, they do expect and require few things from their members: Always ride safely, and don’t give the Club a bad name. SCRC members just want to ride for the thrill of riding. Most of their trips are local, so whether you ride a Honda, Harley, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki (or whatever!) you will always be welcomed at the Southern Cruisers Riding Club. Southern Cruisers Riding Club hold regular weekly rides on Wednesdays, leaving at 7 pm. Meet at Tim Horton’s on University Avenue in Charlottetown. SCRC is open to all types of bikes. The cost of membership is FREE and the (optional) club patch (optional) is only $50 Cdn. The SCRC holds charity fundraising rides, local and long distance rides, and even "unknown" rides which may lead riders anywhere. They also promote motorcycle and public safety rules. Under NO circumstances will SCRC be involved in any illegal activities. For more info on the Southern Cruisers Riding Club, contact First Officer Mike Littlewood at <littlewood@eastlink.ca>
