Welcome to the Florida Independent Harley Owners, first and foremost we RIDE, so to be a part of this group of friends you need to really enjoy group motorcycle riding...Our goal is to give our members and guests multiple options to ride or participate in activities on any given day.... YOU are free to ride on any ride YOU CHOOSE, it is always YOUR CHOICE to ride when & where YOU want to, so just get out there & enjoy....If you live in the Central Florida area or are going to be visiting here for an extended period of time and you are looking to ride, meet some great people/new friends - - our group just might be the right fit for you....Even though a majority of our members ride Harley-Davidson, "WE HAVE NO CLOSED RIDES"....So any motorcycle rider may join us on a ride, prior to becoming a member of ours or while you are in town...All bike owners are open to join as a member, however you must meet certain criteria, see below in Rider Article #1.... We purchased our bikes to ride and NOT to be “ACORNS” (Definition of an ACORN - An owner/rider that only brings their bikes out twice a year, Daytona Bike Week & Biketoberfest)....Since we live to ride in Central Florida with our year round motorcycle riding, you will enjoy cruising the back roads to fun places.... When it comes down to our membership, we believe that the Quality of active participation of our riders is more important than Quantity.....Now as many of you know, there is always a little “DRAMA” in any group of folks, we try to limit ours to “Safe Group Riding" ....Direct contact can be achieved at fla_independent_harley_owners@yahoo.com or on our Riders Info Line (407) 508-9787, so we look forward to seeing you on a ride very soon....We are a Not for Profit Organization....
