Freeport, Grand Bahama - The Scurvy Few Motor Bike Club members love to get on their bikes
and go for long casual rides during the weekends. The members are not
hell raisers, but rather consist of big hearted members of the
community who are business persons, serious about riding, road safety
and are passionate about helping others. They are no stranger to
reaching out and making things better for others. Vicky Martel
of Santa's Helpers can attest to this, as some of the Club's members
have become 'the reindeers on wheels' as they roar into various
communities to meet the kids and distribute thousands of gifts provided
by generous donators.
The Club Members saw a need at The Beacon School who
continue to champion the cause for special education and provide
training for our challenged youth.
Determined to find a way
to assist, they planned a Bike Night at Red Beard's Restaurant, whereby
an entrance fee was charged to patrons entering the establishment.
Lloyd Cheong won the 'favourite bike' award after attendees voted anonymously.

The fun part of the evening was the secret ballot casting for the
most 'favourite bike'. A quiet, yet heated competition ensued as the
bikers lined up their polished and sparkling motorcycles, all
looking their finest, while guests weaved in and out of the restaurant
to cast their vote.
The entrance fee, enhanced by donations, resulted in $1575 being raised for The Beacon School.
Mrs. Sheryl Wood, principal of The Beacon School
expressed her thankfulness to the club for raising the funds and
for taking the initiative to do so.
