CLUB DESCRIPTION: If you love to ride, then you will feel right at home!

There are many great roads and scenic drives to explore. The Tri-State area has a variety of road types which will help enhance riding skills. Road conditions in the local area are generally maintained but riders must remain vigilant for hazards such as changing road conditions, wildlife, weather and distracted drivers.   We as a group, take the time to teach new riders important riding skills as well as make each other better. We participate in safety related activities as it relates to motorcycles and enjoy the comradery of the open road with the wind in our face.  We're supported by The Green Knights International Military Motorcycle Club formed in 1999 with the goal of promoting rider safety, mentorship, and driver awareness. There are over 100 chapters worldwide with one at nearly every US military installation. Barksdale's Chapter 75 was established in 2008 and we welcome all riders to include sport bikes, cruisers, touring and everything in between.

Club Description:  BUFF Sport Bikes is about focusing on how typical sport bike riders ride. We encourage safe riding but also challenge our abilities as riders to promote good habits and motorcycle confidence. The idea is to bring a bunch of people who just love to ride together. Without the pressure of your typical motorcycle club. Not to bring down clubs, they have their attractions. But the idea is to just get together and have fun. Enjoy the ride, enjoy the turns, and just be a bunch of fanatics who casually get together for rides. Regardless if you ride a Ducati or a Grom, as long as you love the open road or the feel of gliding smoothly through a corner, we will ride with you.
