FMC History

We are approximately 55 to 75 members, with the numbers going up and down.  Approximately 20 % of our members are Lady Riders while others ride with their partners.

FMC members ages range from 15 to 65+ and children and grandchildren of the bikers are sometimes unofficial members.

We meet most Sunday mornings in the summer and on the second Sunday of each month in the off season; 9 am in riding season and 10 am fall, winter, spring.  In the winter we socialize, in the summer we eat and then ride. Typically all day.   Generally we have an official meeting the second Sunday of each month during breakfast.

We have the following officers

President, Donald Comeau

Secretary, Victor Griffiths

Road Captain, Brian Upton

Past President, Victor Griffiths

The Club was formed in the fall of 1982 by Colin and Nancy Carsons.  Colin was on the N.B. Safety Council and got others from the council to join.

The first president was Mike Fenety.  We had our very first Toy Ride the summer of 1985 and have held a Toy Ride every single summer since.

The FMC is the longest continuous supporter of the Children’s ward of the D.E.C.H.  We organize our fund raising efforts with Steve Fletcher the director of child life services.  We also support other clubs and their charitable fund raising events.

Other One Day Events include Pool Party, Corn Boil, etc.  (We like to have fun!!!)

Some examples of One Day Long Rides:

Saint Andrews / Saint John Loop

Deer Island / Campobello Island Loop

Edmundston / Madawaska Loop

Blackville / Plaster Rock Loop

S.J. River Valley Ferry’s

People generally enjoy being around other people who enjoy the same likes and passion.  Our link is the motorcycle.  The freedom of the open road, no distractions, no radio, just two wheels and the wind.  However when you stop for a break it’s always nice if you have a fellow rider that can share your sights and joys of the road.  Many members join the club so they can meet other rider.  It’s nice to know that if you get up on a Sunday morning, the sun is shining and the skies are clear, all you have to do is show up at a pre-determined site!  There will always be at least one biker ready to go, half day, full day, what ever your heart desires.

We help each other, not only do we promote safe riding but as well we share technical information.  Most of our members find that over time their relationship changes from being a member of a club to a gathering of close friends.
