The agreed upon mindset by those that attended the meeting is that OMC members do not even talk about Prospects or Prospecting with any guests prematurely. The Club President shall explicitly open this discussion after consulting with OMC members in good standing.
The main mission is the protection of the current membership and status quo that exists amongst the "First Nine".
Prospects
1.
A guest
who has been given a verbal face-to-face invitation to “prospect” by the Club
President and who has accepted the invitation.
2.
E-mail notification, via the President's blog, shall be sent
to all members.
3.
Must be 45 years of age or older.
4.
Must own a Harley-Davidson, Victory or Indian
motorcycle.
5.
Must be of the male gender.
6.
Probationary period will vary depending on the
prospect’s background, exposure to the Club members and how well the prospect
was previously known by Club members.
7.
Prospects ride at the back of the pack.
8.
Males who meet the above conditions may attend
OGRES meetings and functions in a solo manner.
Guests
1.
Anyone who does not meet the above conditions of
a prospect.
2.
May attend OMC Sanctioned rides only if:
a.
Approved explicitly beforehand in a timely
manner by the Club President.
b.
Shall be accompanied by the hosting/inviting
Club Member.
c.
Guests will always ride at the back of the pack
accompanied by the inviting member.
3.
Guests shall not be invited nor shall they ever
attend OMC mandatory meetings.
4.
Club members should use strong discretion and
careful screening as to who they invite to OMC sanctioned rides and
events. OMC members should use the following
criteria (not exhaustive):
a.
How well will the guest fit in with the rest of
the Club members?
b.
What brand and model motorcycle does the guest ride?
c.
What is the guests riding style and how long
have they been riding?
d.
What percentage of teeth does the guest possess?
