Title
Motorcycles, Amateur or Ham Radio, Community Service
Description
We are a local San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Original MARC group founded in southern California in 1992. Our chapter's focus is to find reasons to go riding and provide motorcycle and communications support for various charity and public service events. As a chapter, we are simply a collection of people with motorcycles or an amateur license who hope to contribute back to our communities while having a good time with our hobbies. We have found the motorcycle's small size to be a great support vehicle to use in an event because it allows us to be mobile on narrow roads and streets without interfering with event participants.
Amateur radios provide superior communications in difficult situations over large distances and when we couple motorcycles and amateur radios together, our ability to supply communications during event production keeps event organizers reliably informed. This is especially true during course accidents where our presence to deliver reliable communications from our roving mounts is often critical to timely medical attention for injured participants.
Here are a few snap-shots taken at our first meeting. There are more pictures of the motorcycles and the members available in the Members area. Take a few minutes and look around the members area to see what we are riding and where we have our equipment mounted.
