to pay dues to be a member of Kingdom Riders?

Q: What is meant by a motorcycle club or riding
club?
Not all (MC) or motorcycle riding
clubs, motorcycle groups, motorcycle clubs are as organized as others.
Like Kingdom Riders we do not have officers example: presidents,
vice-presidents, clerks, officer elections, monthly business meetings
etc. Kingdom Riders does give recognition to its founders and riders who
took the time to invite people to ride as a group on our Sunday rides.
Many of our riders wanted a patch or colors that would represent their
mission to witness for Christ and to reflect that they were Christian
bikers without having to fly other organized colors of other such
groups. With that in mind our patch (Colors) and riding group known as
Kingdom Riders was created.

The definition of a Motorcycle club:
This article is about "American-style" motorcycle clubs known hereafter in this
article as (MC) as a specific cultural phenomenon, using motorcycle riding clubs in the generic sense of the term.
A Motorcycle Club (MC) is an organized club of motorcycle riders who follow a series of traditional rules for participation in the club, including, but not limited to, a group of elected officers; a probationary period for new members; the wearing of a specific club patch (or patches) adorned with the term "MC"; a measure of privacy about their internal structure, bylaws, and membership; and some level of sworn allegiance to other members of the club.
The typical internal organization of a MC consists of a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, road captain, and sergeant-at-arms. Localized groups of a
single group or larger MC's are called chapters if they have more than one
group, and the first chapter established for an MC is referred to as the national chapter. The president of the national chapter serves as the president of the entire MC, and sets club policy on a variety of issues.
There are a great many clubs for motorcycle riders who refer to themselves generically as
MC's. Though they are grammatically correct, these clubs are not MC's in the strictest sense of the term, and members of MCs (as defined in this article) regard these other clubs as motorcycle riding clubs.
MC members are not usually referred to by their given names, but instead refer to each other by nicknames, or road names, sometimes even displaying their road name on the club vest. Whether or not this practice was carried over from the military aviation history of colorful pilot
call signs is not known.
