Aspiring Motorcycle
Mechanics Wanted
by STEPHANIE CRIDER
On Saturday, Oct. 24, the
Blue Knights are hosting a basic
mechanics and maintenance course
at the Cumberland County Sheriffs
Department, which is located at 131
Dick St. The class runs from 8:30
a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and will be fol-
lowed by an optional escorted ride
from 1-3 p.m. Participants must
have at least six months riding expe-
rience, possess a valid motorcycle
license endorsement or permit,
provide proof of insurance, sign a
liability waiver releasing all par-
ties from damages and have a street
legal, properly licensed motorcycle
along with all safety equipment.
Founded in 1974 in Bangor,
ME., the Blue Knight organization
is a non-profit group made up of
active and retired law enforcement
men and women who like riding
motorcycles. The group has 586
chapters and almost 20,000 mem-
bers in 28 countries. Like many
motorcycle clubs the Blue Knights
work hard to raise money for char-
ity. Some of the recipients of their
generosity have included Make a
Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots,
D.A.R.E., and Concerns of Police
Survivors.
In addition to helping those
in need, the organization provides
for the mutual assistance, enjoy-
ment, entertainment, education,
physical, mental and social ben-
efit of its members and the gen-
eral public, promotes and advance
the sport of motorcycling and the
safety of motorcycling, and serves
the interests of motorcycle own-
ers and users. They also promote
by example and any other accept-
able means, safe use, operation and
enjoyment of motorcycles and strive
to develop a fraternal spirit between
law enforcement personnel and the
general public.
There is a $25 registration
fee for the mechanics and mainte-
nance course and preregistration is
required, as space is limited. The
course fee includes training materi-
als, lunch and participation in the
ride. An optional "basic" tool kit
is available for purchase for only
$45.00.
The course is expected to sell
out, so early registration is recom-
mended. Call (256) 444-8713 or
visit www.blueknights-nc-xiii.org
for more details.
