We
welcome you to the Southern Chapters little place on the
web. We hope to inform other Firefighters who ride
Harley-Davidsons of our club and its purpose. Our chapter
was formed in 1994 with 7 original members. Since its
inception, over 40 Firefighters and 10 associates have
united to form one of the largest chapters in the world. In 1996 our annual Burn Camp run
was established. Every year since then a group of us
travel over 130 miles to Camp Celebrate in Chapel Hill,
NC where we put on a mini bike show for North Carolina
burn victims attending.
The year 1998 saw the
Southern Chapter become the first to create a website to
reach more brothers to recruit and unite them into our
club. We continually try to improve the site with usefull
info we think they will enjoy.
Another first formed in
1999, a regional rally to bring together area Chapters.
We named it the "Southeastern Rally" and hold
it in Myrtle Beach parralell to the Myrtle Beach Rally in
May. It is a take-off of the National Rally held annually
in Sturgis.
With the year 2000 now
in place, we will hold the first annual "Blue Ridge
Meet" in Ashville, NC. It will simply be a place for
brother chapters to gather to tell and swap stories. A
rough draft was held last year and went over very well.
With all that said,
please look around to share some of the memories we tell.
We hope they last for a long to the people involved. We
also would like to extend an invitation to all
Firefighters that ride Harleys to cosider joining ours or
any chapter near you. Theres nothing better in the world
than Fightin' fires and Ridin' Harley's. Thank God we get
to do both!
