I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Just Ride Long Island is an attempt by a couple of long-time friends/riding buddies to create a community of Long Island motorcyclists interested in just riding (hence the name).

No egos, no elitism, no drugs, no drinking while riding, no idiotic behavior on public roads, no behaviors that strengthen the negative stereotype of motorcyclists.

The type of bike you ride doesn't matter. We hope to bring together sportbikes, cruisers, tourers, classic bikes, dirt bikes, and more. You'll have the opportunity to hook up with people like you and enjoy some two-wheeled time, and maybe even some off-bike time.

The intent is to create a mutually beneficial environment, so we're interested in your ideas.

Send us your stories and photos. Maybe we'll post them here. Keep it rated PG, though. ;-)

Have fun, and be safe.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Responsible motorcyclists interested in promoting the sport of motorcycling.
