STEELETTO 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 President Sue Platts. Word is just getting out The group meets at 7 pm at Papa Joe s on University Avenue in Charlottetown 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 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!!!

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.

Under the name of Canadian Army Veterans—The CAV is a brotherhood of serving and veteran motorcycle enthusiasts who have volunteered to serve our country, whether it be in regiments, on ships or with air squadrons or bases across Canada and overseas. CAV units formed across Canada are named in tribute of Canadian Battle Honours, to continue the traditions and bonds formed in war and peace.

The CAV was formed by Canadian Veterans whose common bond was service to one’s country and the fact they were avid motorcyclists. To date we have members who have served our country in every theatre of military operations, in peace or at war; as members of NATO, the United Nations or members of Canada’s present Army, Navy or Air Force.

Our Mission is to provide our members with a unit to continue service to each other and our communities and country. We are a brotherhood of Canadian Army Veterans, mounted on motorcycles of all different types. The CAV promotes safe, responsible motorcycling.

Alongside our Veteran Supporter members, (brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, partners, friends and comrades that share a love of country, community and motorcycles) we continue to volunteer our time for our Country by actively supporting each other, our brothers in arms and our communities through charity rides and events.

The CAV is now represented on PEI by the South Africa Unit. Although we don’t have regular meetings at present, we try to get together every couple of months in the off season. Meetings currently rotate between Ch’town and S’side. We are in the planning stages for the upcoming riding season, with two charity rides (so far) planned: the "Ride 4 Dad" in June, and a “Ride for the Troops” in August.
