Welcome to NJ last minute riders (NJLMR)

 

We started out in 2016 as a group of local North & Central New Jersey independent motorcycle riders and now we have extended our family to North East Pennsylvania (Poconos area) as of 2018.  We mostly ride April to November and literally plan 90% of our rides at the last minute because simply- life happens!

​

We are not a club. We are a group of independent riders and some of our riders are already in motorcycle clubs. We welcome club riders and independent riders. Some rides are planned ahead and placed on this site or mainly on the Groupme app group chat. One person doesn't just post/recommend rides, everyone is welcomed and encourage to mention a ride or if they want company no matter the duration. So if you are free, or want to plan a last minute ride and want the company then mention it in the groupme chat (app) and let's see who is around. Let's just get out the house and ride and enjoy what little good weather we have in these few short summer months.  

​

Ride Range…  from 30 minutes to 4 hours+. Personally, after 90 minutes I need a break... so if you're a beginner it's fine we have no problem taking a break. 

​

Who can ride…  This group is open to all motorcycle experiences and types such as canam, slingshots, sportbikes, cruisers, etc. If you have a motorcycle endorsement on your VALID license then you can ride with us. Must have valid license and insurance when riding in this group. Need ezpass too. If you don't have it, it's cool - we won't leave you, just let us know BEFORE we start riding. Ezpass is $1/month fee and motorcycles get discount on tolls.  

​

What type of rider…  good for folks that don't want to always push 150mph on the highway but okay with a highway range of 60-100mph (depending on traffic/weather) and residential less than 55mph of course. Group good for riders who just want to cruise down the GSP, local roads and take advantage of the weather since it's cold up here more than hot. Face it... we're not in Sunny California. So any day over 55 degrees I'm on my bike, even if it is just to the gym. We always ride in staggered formation. I hate when riders ride on the highway next to me (so dangerous). If that's you.. stay in the back of the group not next to me. No problem if you can only do part of the ride, just let someone know so we're not looking for you or think something happen when you pull off. We are responsible for each other and want everyone to not only enjoy the ride but also get home to their families in one piece. 

​

When we ride…  Any day of the week we welcome all skill levels. Some after works ride might be around 8pm so we can wait for traffic to die down during the week (but still daylight). Saturday and Sunday motorcycle rides prefer to start in the morning before 10am when the rest of the world is somewhat still sleeping.  Intent…  is to meet and ride with other motorcyclists in the area. Ride responsibly and share the road. 

 

Expect from riders 3 things… 
1) Each member must be willing to share least one route they take even if it’s a ten minute ride on Rt. 17 or i80. Sharing is caring. Just open to ideas and want all members to be active participants not just another number. 

​

2) Ride safely and show up on time. If late, text BEFORE you leave (because by then you already know you're running late). We don't mind waiting if you let us know you running late, even if that means pulling off on the side of highway to text you stuck in traffic. Never drive reckless just to meet us. If you're late just text Miss Jai (blazingbrownskin) or the group ride host or jump in groupme chat app and we will wait. We rather wait for you then to visit you in the hospital.

 

3) You will need to download the GroupMe App and be invited into our group chat forum to find out last minute rides. This njlastminriders.com website is good for keeping the rules, some pics and events updated. But the actual notification of unplanned rides is on the Groupme chat. and sometimes meetup group (when active April/May thru September). So request groupme chat link (yes another app!)

 

Note: You can silent/mute the group chat until you're interested to read texts about rides so it doesn't kill your phone battery (we talk alot in the summer). 

​

Reminder - we are not a club or a group about getting #s. Twice a year we do spring cleaning and remove riders who are not active in the group (nothing personal). We rather have 10 active riders than 50 riders signed up just reading our chat. You can remove yourself from the groupme chat whenever you want (no hard feelings). You can return as well whenever you want and as many times as you want, unless you are deemed a "dangerous rider" or there's another valid reason. 

 

​

Note: Members only page requires passcode (get from Miss Jai). Discounts for NJLMR members, Volunteer projects, Trip Registrations and Member info is available on this page.

Ride safe! See you out there.
