A
New Club is Rolling Into Town
A new congregation is rolling into South Florida and it has
less to do with whether you are a conservative, reform or
orthodox Jew than it does with whether or not you ride a motorcycle.
If you are Jewish and you ride a motorcycle, finally there’s
an organization for you - King David Bikers (KDB).
Respect
Honor Religion The Road
“As Jews we honor and respect the Lord and as motorcycle
enthusiasts, we honor our bikes and respect the road,”
says the group’s big macha and founder, Jeff Mustard,
who rides a 1600 cc Yamaha Road Star. Says Mustard, “For
the first time, motorcycle enthusiasts of the Jewish faith
in South Florida can congregate to share their love of motorcycles,
their passion for riding and their desire to meet other Jews
who feel the same way about their bikes, their religion and
the ride.”
Jewish
Needs
“After I got my bike, I was looking for a club and didn’t
feel there was one that met my needs,” says Jeff Mustard.
What are Mustard’s needs? “Look, I’m Jewish,
I’m a professional, I ride a nice bike, I like to dress
well and eat good food. ” Mustard is a writer/producer
and the Director of Communications for a Boca Raton-based
international investment banking company.
Our
Members
What compelled Mustard to start King David Bikers? Says Mustard,
“I found that membership into most clubs is predicated
simply on the kind of bike you own, just because I own the
same brand bike as someone doesn’t mean I necessarily
want to hang out with that person or group.”
Our
Philosophy
King David Bikers has no restrictions, it is open to men and
women of all ages, couples, singles and it doesn’t matter
what you ride. Cruisers and sport bikes are welcome. The only
thing that counts is your passion to ride and your faith as
a Jew. In the spirit of the Jewish faith KDB will support
various Jewish charities, causes and organizations. From time
to time there may be “non-denominational” rides.
Eat
Something, You’ll Feel Better
The difference between the KDB and other clubs is that membership
will replicate the Jewish lifestyle, meaning mostly every
ride will revolve around food, as opposed to alcohol, as is
often the case with other club rides. “As Jews, we must
be the hungriest people in the world, we barely finish a meal
and we’re wondering what we’re gonna eat next;
what better excuse than to ride somewhere on your bike and
get something to eat.”
All
Dressed Up With Somewhere to Go
Participating in KDB doesn’t require your fanciest suit
or your prettiest dress, just your snappiest riding gear.
If you and your bike are all dressed up with nowhere to go,
King David Bikers is for you. According to the club prez,
Mustard, “you can ride alone, which is great, but riding
with a buddy or a group is even better.”
