Livingston Bikers Building Up Community One Good Deed At A Time

LIVINGSTON, NJ — A Livingston-based motorcycle club is building up a good name for bikers with their ongoing community outreach efforts.

Last week, the Horseneck Motorcycle Riding Club earned some well-deserved kudos from the Livingston Town Council, who presented its members with a proclamation in their honor.

The council praised the club for its “Trauma Scene Safety Program” held during Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The free May 19 event, held at the Livingston Masonic Lodge, taught participants what to do if they were the first person to arrive at the scene of an accident.

The Horseneck Motorcycle Riding Club has also been involved in several other recent charitable efforts.

On May 11, the club pitched in at the Livingston Kiwanis Karnival Barry Ross ARC morning. It was their sixth time volunteering at the local program.

In January, a group of biker-volunteers showed up to paint the dining room at Toni's Kitchen in Montclair, a food pantry and meal station that serves Essex County.

"Much of our volunteering is in Livingston, but on occasion the needs of the greater community need to be met," Club President Ira Sessler said.

In July 2016, club members spent their morning picking up litter near East and West Hobart Gap Road at the intersection of South Livingston Avenue. By the time they were done, they’d collected 16 bags of assorted trash, construction debris, wood and steel.
