Building The NYC Moto Team
A diverse segment of the NYC Moto CommunityNew York has a large, spirited and highly diverse motorcycling community which overcomes the seasonal nature of the sport by heading out of the city in search of scenic twisties whenever the sun shines. You see motorcyclists of every vein on the streets -- cafe racers, bobbers, sports bikes, multi-terrain, dual sport, classic vintage, tour bikes -- yet New York's sheer size often makes it difficult for riders of like minds to meet up. There are a host of specialized motorcycle clubs with regular weekly and monthly events -- NYC Motorcyclist.com hopes to make it a little easier for riders to find them through a detailed online events calendar, a club directory with website links and contact information, and a resource guide ... all in one place. Add to that local moto news and reviews, and you have a one-stop information source.

Sorez the Scribe
Advisor/PoetFor biker scribe Eddie ‘Sorez’ Pliska, poetry is as much about capturing his passion for the moto lifestyle and the raw energy of two-wheeled travel in prose, as it is about documenting determination in the face of the often-harsh struggles of life. He has had his fair share of both

A newer rider, but a long-time admirer of moto culture and its many subcultures, Suhay found his moto family and friends at Clutch Moto. He is always seeking new photo ops within the moto community.

In the New York City area we have all kinds of riders by the thousands.

First off, we just want to 'thank you' for your continued interest in our event ... and in a much larger way for all that you do for the NY motorcycling 'community' at large! It's a daunting task to try to tie-together and promote such a seemingly disparate assortment of factions or 'tribes' in a city such as ours ... but you do an amazing job of seamlessly connecting everything that is 2-wheeled together, in a way that is always balanced and positive!
Congratulations! You exemplify what it means to live, love, capture, and share EVERYTHING MOTO. Your selfless support of others is genuinely awe-inspiring! Thank YOU for your time, guidance, and continuous support ♥️
We wanted to personally thank you for supporting our run! Let us know how we can help with anything.
