Best alarm clock is Sunshine on Chrome.

A Friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 A.M. to drive his picjup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down.

Winter is Nature's way of telling you to polish.

Midnight bugs taste best.

Wear heavy boots. You can't kick things when you're wearing sneakers.

Saddlebags can never hold everything you want,

but they can hold everything you need.

If you’re a complainer, ride at the back of the pack so you won’t contaminate the rest of the group.

Never try to race an OLD GEEZER- he may have one more gear than you.

The size of the PISTON don’t tell you nothin’

about the DEPTH of the stroke.

Home is where your bike sits still lang enough to leave a few drops of oil on the ground.

You”ll get farther down the road if you learn to use more than two fingers on the front brake.

It take more love to share the saddle that it does to share the bed!

Only bikers understand why dogs love to stick their heads out car windows.

Bikes don't leak oil, they mark their territory.

Never ask a biker for directions if you're in a hurry to get there.

If it takes more than three bolts to hold it on it's probably crucial.

Anything that shows up on more than two bikes is a FAD.

You can forget what you do for a livin', when your knees are in the breeze. .

SCRC - Hill City Cruisers

The Southern Cruisers Riding Club is a free, voluntary club. There are no dues but there are some commitments. Membership in the SCRC is open to anyone with an interest in group riding regardless of race, creed or sex and all applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Operators of motorcycles must have a valid Motorcycle endorsement on their license. Members must be either a Rider or Passenger on a street legal Motorcycle. Spouses, if they ride with their husband or wife as a passenger are eligible to join with the same Membership Status as the motorcycle operator. Non-riders will only be allowed Membership under special circumstances to be determined by the Chapter First Officer and any of the National Officers.

We hold chapter rides two times per month on Sundays at noon as long as the weather meets the 60/50 rule, and that is a projected high of 60 degrees or warmer and less than a 50% chance of rain. We meet at Graves Mill Shopping Center located at the corner of Graves Mill Rd. and route 221 in Forest, VA. Check the calendar below for the next planned ride!

We just want to ride for the thrill of riding. Most of our trips will be local and not 500 miles from here. So whether you ride a Harley, Honda, Kawasaki or any other Street Legal motorcycle, you will always be welcome at the Southern Cruisers Riding Club. The cost for membership is FREE. Our Club patch is optional and is available for purchase for only $40.00. The SCRC is involved with charity fund raising rides, local and long distance rides, overnighters and club dinner rides, and of course the unknown rides which may lead us anywhere. We also promote Motorcycle and Public Safety rules, and under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will we be involved in any illegal activities.

SCRC – Club History

After being out of Motorcycling for almost 15 years, a man named Rick Perry decided to buy a new bike and to start enjoying life just a little bit more than he had been. After a few weeks of riding alone he knew there was still something missing - The Brotherhood of Biking.

It was at this point that Rick decided to start a new Motorcycle Riding Club in the Memphis area. The reasons were to meet new friends and to get the people riding together and sharing the thrill of Motorcycling in a manner that was acceptable to all.

Around July 10, 1998, the name Southern Cruisers Riding Club was born. Rick developed a small website on the net and started a SCRC Forum so we could all have an online meeting place to discuss plans for rides we were setting up. During this time we were working on a Club Patch and went through about a dozen different designs before we all decided on the Current SCRC Club Patch.

Shortly after the Memphis Chapter started to form, Rick was contacted by Jerry "HIP" Longdon from the Knoxville area about the SCRC. Eventually they decided to open a Chapter in Knoxville, TN just to see what would actually happen. Lots of decisions were made at this time about how to run the Southern Cruisers including a NO DUES style club, not to give the Club a bad name and to keep it all clean and legal.

A little time went by and everything seemed to be going well for the two Chapters. Then Rick received a phone call from Tim Jones in Rome, GA. His first words were something like this "How about a Georgia Chapter"! Still kinda shocked that someone would want to start a Chapter of the Southern Cruisers
