The Tribe MC of Seattle

Thanks to all of the members of The Tribe that made our booth at the SJCC Purim Carnival a huge success.  Bruce and Richard selflessly rolled in their motorcycles and made lots of kids (and some adults!) very happy with the opportunity to sit on a real motorcycle.  Thanks also goes to Ned for decorating our booth.  And of course thanks to everyone else who was there to help out — Clive, Lenny, Steve, Neil, Craig, and Doug.  All in all, a very successful day — we definitely showed our colors to the community and they were really glad we were there!

And welcome to Craig and Denise — our newest members of The Tribe MC!

Thanks again to Ned for hosting this year’s Seattle Tribe Latkes and Beer Party — we had a great turnout and a great time!  Below are a few photos from the event … and remember that our next ride is scheduled for 31 January 10 – we meet at 9 AM at our usual location – the Factoria Starbucks.  See you there!

Great ride this morning — pretty chilly, but fun.  And a great breakfast as well at The Kitchen in Enumclaw, WA, where the pancakes are wagon-wheel sized (or should I say motorcycle wheel sized?).  5 bikes, 6 riders today and another half dozen at the meeting this morning at Starbucks.  Great gathering!

Thanks to Ned for leading The Tribe MC on a fun ride on this month.  Pictures are posted here.

Once again, The Tribe MC hosted the Seattle Association for Jews with Disabilities (SAJD) picnic – we raised over $500! Everyone had a blast. Click here for photos.  The morning started with a brief ride through Carnation and Fall City and ended at noon in Seward Park, where we were met by the SAJD folks.  Thanks to the members of The Tribe MC for another year of strong participation.

The Tribe MC of Seattle had a terrific 2007.  We hit the road probably a dozen times throughout the year on official club rides as well as some additional excursions that we threw in.  While I haven’t been great about keeping this blog up to date, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share some photos of the club with everyone that I took over the course of the year.

The Seattle Tribe had a great ride to day to Snohomish.  We started the day at our usual meeting spot (Starbucks on Factoria Blvd) where we had the tremendous pleasure of welcoming our three newest Tribe members — Rob, Rachael and Roy.  After a schmooze over coffee, we decided to brave the weather and head out.  It was a balmy 35 degrees with a little frost on some of the roads.  We rode North to Snohomish, stopping at Ned’s cousin’s shop to see some glass blowing.  After lunch in Snohomish, we headed back, the temperatures finally hitting around 50 degrees.  We all had a great time and look forward to our next ride, schedule for 25 February 2007.
