What is NYC Motorcyclists?

New York City Motorcyclists (NYC-Moto) was begun as a private mailing list by Steve Manes in the early 90s to coordinate weekend trips and pizza runs with a few online friends. In early 1994, the list was made available to the public by subscription. In early 1995, this was bridged to the newly-created regional newsgroup nyc.motorcycles (the bridge was removed in 1996 due to spammers). As of 1/2004, the NYC-Moto list supported 408 subscribers, most residing within the greater New York City area. Its centerpiece has become the now legendary Tuesday Night Hang, which attracts riders from all over the tri-state area, and even curious visitors from as far away as Australia and Russia.

The list, which is distributed daily in digest format, discusses everything related to urban motorcycle survival.
