Welcome!
This is the official blog for the original Ninety Four Club that was established in early 2010.
Impossible to imitate, and beyond equal.
Enjoy the continuing improvements and the sharper focus on the unconventional and uncompromising original interpretation of the Ninety Four Club.
And for those of us who still "get it", it still is as it always has been, and hopefully, will always be:
It's all about the ride!!
Onward through the fog.......
The Ninety Four Club was formed in the early spring of 2010 by combining the best elements of the motorcycle and riding clubs that reflected our independence and experience as motorcyclists.
And that's how some of us like-minded riders here in the Treasure Valley have come together in a loosely-organized, similar-spirited, ride on short notice, band of motorcyclists that we call the Ninety Four Club.
After riding together for several years we actually decided to form into a riding group in early 2010. Membership (if you can call it that) grew out of former members of several other riding groups here in the Boise valley and now counts in it's members riders from Idaho and throughout the western U.S.
As like minded riders who thought that group rides should consist of no more than 3 bikes, and at the most, 4 bikes, (with the occasional exception, of course) we came together because of our thinking that there needs to be more to look at on the nice rides than the back of a dozen or more parade riders in front of you.

We have nothing against those that are into large group rides.
On the contrary, we have many friends that belong to those kind of groups and several of us participate in rides with them on occasion every season.
And keeping our group rides to 3 or 4 riders also helps with the service that we get at the restaurants and watering holes that we stop at because it doesn't look like we're an invading hoard from the recently arrived tour bus.
If you ride much at all, I'm sure you have seen us, and even shared a wave, as we have passed by on the road.
There are no officers in the Ninety Four Club, we have no organized meetings, we don't collect any dues, we promote no personal, politicial or religious agendas, and we are without any "club" rules.
Our "membership" includes sport bikes, touring bikes, cruisers, and dual sports.
We encourage all three of the the important riding styles: lead, follow, or get outta the way.
We know that no matter when the last rider rolls up that those that arrived before them will be saving their place at the table.
We just believe that riding with your buddies is a good way to share in a good time without it getting too complicated. We never worry about what order we are riding in, how or where we are parking when we get there, and we are never in a hurry to not do those things.
We're pretty sure that the Ninety Four Club will never be more than what it is right now, just a mutually good idea shared by those who embrace the concept. We have no interest in growing, because just existing is good enough for us. There's no need to be doo-ragged or leather-wrapped or pin-plastered or patched-up to feel like you fit in. And motorcycles will be viewed as beer should be. Whether mass produced or hand-crafted in a small shop, whether foreign or domestic, they are all good after the first two or three. A little respect for the road and your fellow riders is nice, but then again, that would sound too much like a rule. So there is really no need to make mention of that either, because........
It is now as it always has been, and hopefully, will always be.
It's all about the ride.
And you don't have to love the blues......but it sure helps!
