Welcome to the online garage of the ZeroThousand Motorcycle Collective.

ZKMC is an group of fun-seeking hooligans, who self medicate with motorcycle therapy in an effort to maximize fun, explore our surroundings, and keep the suck and occasional doldrums at bay. A crappy mood just can't hang on at speed, and there is no room for it on our bikes.

ZKMC is the motorcylce focused arm of ZeroThousand. We come from the point of view of the original Cell Division ideals of:
  • Do It Yourself.
  • If what is around you does not suit your needs, create your own.
  • Explore your surroundings.
  • Educate, teach, welcome, and share what you have with others of like mind.
  • Dismiss what insults you. Learn about it, and understand it; Then evolve and create. Take it and run.
  • The world is driven by new ideas. Get out of the way.
See the ZeroThousand for an expression of the broader ZK philosophy.

You really don't need much of a point beyond that, but if you wanted one, how about:
  • Two Wheeled Fun.
  • Camaraderie of interacting with solid people you can trust.
  • The satisfaction of learning something new;
  • And pushing one's self to be good at it, while not being a retard.
  • Getting people interested in, comfortable on, and up and running, on a bike.
  • Planning fun routes to maximize shit-eating-grins, and inside-helmet hollering.
  • The enjoyment of the journey.
  • Having fun learning how to maintain, modify, and customize our bikes.


Unlike many motorcycle clubs, ZKMC does not have much in the way of official rules for membership. It is a shared state of mind and outlook on life. We don't care what country your bike was made in, wether it is stock or custom, what year it was made, or if you're a woman. Do you have a bike? Do you like to ride it? Are you a goofball with no need for rules, regulations, and factional nonsense? Think ZKMC.


We are not just a social club, a riding club, nor are we an "outlaw" club, or territorial club, except that of head-space.
We are geeks, prophets, charlatains, inventors, anarchists, artists, and ninjas.

During the summer months, we try and do at least one good (all day) ride per month, along with frequent shorter morning/afternoon trips out from town and back in an hour or two. Some of us ride in the winter, some of us wrench in the winter.

0%: ZKMC does not position itself on either side of the fence of the 99%/1% statement that (apocraphaly) followed Hollister. We are a different animal all together. As ZK is an expression of our culture and ideals, ZKMC is how we live that lifestyle with regard to our motorcycles. You can't join it with an oath, or by buying a patch. It just happens.
