The Southern Cross Cruiser Club is a social club based in New South Wales, Sydney, that caters to motorcycle enthusiasts. The club offers a range of activities and events for its members, including weekly rides, monthly meetings, regular weekends away, and other social gatherings such as club BBQs.
The club was established in 1998 by a small group of four motorcycle enthusiasts in Sydney. Originally, it was formed as a Japanese/European Motorcycle Club, providing a platform for riders to come together and enjoy their shared passion for motorcycles. As the years went by and more motorcycle manufacturers entered the market, the club opened up its membership to all brands of cruiser motorcycles.
Over time, the club has grown in numbers and now boasts over 160 members in Sydney alone. In addition to its main branch in Sydney, the club has also expanded to include branches in Tamworth and Taree. The Southern Cross Cruiser Club actively participates in various charity events, including rides for the homeless where they donate essential items like sleeping bags and blankets, fundraising activities for Westmead Children's Hospital, and toy runs to Woolongong, where members load their bikes with toys for donation.
To get involved with the club, individuals can attend monthly meetings or join the weekly rides. Contact details for the club's chapter members can be found on their website or Facebook page. The Southern Cross Cruiser Club also has separate Facebook groups for each branch, including the West Chapter, Sydney Metro Chapter, Tamworth chapter, and Mid North Coast Chapter.
