We are a group of women motorcyclists, at all riding levels, on all models of motorcycles. We get together to socialize, experience the great Northwest, and improve our motorcycling skills.

Our group meets the first Thursday of the month for our monthly meeting.. We also try to get together on weekends for informal rides whenever the weather permits. Most rides are for GRIP members only, but on many occasions we like to invite our friends and family to ride with us. We are not a male bashing group, we love the men in our lives, but we recognize the fun we can have riding independently as a women's group.

Our meetings are open to all - see "Meetings" link above for location. Membership entitles you to a password to connect you to other members on our exclusive web site forum where you'll learn Safety Tips, receive special prices on items for sale, be informed of rides and events, be able to read conversations between all members, and ask any questions regarding life in general as a female motorcyclist. It also entitles you to our many "GIRLS ONLY WEEKEND" excursions where we leave Portland together and travel through the Great Northwest as a women's motorcycle group.

We are proud that we have a group of GRIPSTERS that offer a positive opinion and encouraging support to all GRIP members. We seek other optimistic individuals that share our views and our recreation. We also understand that life in general is not always stress free and that situations can get you down. But when we come together, we support one another, and build each other up to experience the fun that group membership and motorcycling has to offer.

Meeting dues are $5 per month and are collected from each member whether you're able to make it to the meeting or not. Delinquency of dues by more than 3 months suspends your membership and is subject to majority rule for reinstatement. We also raise money for our trips at each meeting by drawing for Ways & Means. Each Ways & Means ticket is $1, and we offer a discount - 6 tickets for $5. And if you ride your bike to the meeting, you'll receive one Ways & Means ticket for free. There are multiple winners each month. Membership dues, Ways & Means, and fundraisers are necessary to support our Website, community events, and Girl's Weekends.

To be a GRIPSTER you must be current on dues, be present at the majority of meetings, participate in the majority of fundraisers and Have a running Motorcycle . Negativity is discouraged and dealt with on an individual basis by the leaders of our group as we encourage resolution and return to continued fun. Negativity will not be tolerated within the forum.

GRIP membership is exclusively for women. GRIP reserves the right to revoke membership at any time.
