Common questions

No. Kesher was originally developed alongside clubs in the Jewish Motorcyclists Alliance, but it is built for motorcycle clubs of every kind across the United States and Canada — independent clubs, brand chapters, veterans and charity organisations, women's clubs, regional groups and national alliances.

Yes, and nothing works less well without a parent body. A club can belong to several alliances, one, or none at all. Belonging to an alliance is a label a club claims, not a requirement.

Yes. Sign-in by phone works the same across the US and Canada, and the directory already lists Canadian clubs with their province.

Two things are still US-shaped and worth knowing: dates display in US format, and card payments — when they arrive — will start with US bank accounts. Tell us on the contact page if either blocks your club and we will prioritise it.

Not as far as Kesher is concerned — only if the individual club requires it. The app does not care what you ride.

Yes. An officer creates a ride with a date, meeting point, gather time and kickstands-up time; members RSVP from the app and the club sees a headcount. Recurring rides stay on the calendar, and the destination can be posted on the morning as an announcement that pushes to members' phones.

Yes, as a ledger: who has paid for which period, what the club spent, receipts, and who is owed a reimbursement. A treasurer can keep the books without being able to approve members.

Kesher does not yet take card payments. Dues are recorded as paid by whatever means your club already uses. Card payments are planned, and when they arrive members will pay the club directly — Kesher is not a bank and does not hold club money.

Only if you choose. A club appears in the public directory when an officer switches its listing on, and it publishes only what the club has entered — name, region, when it rides, whether it is accepting members or welcomes guest riders. Never a roster.

Yes. Any officer can download everything the club holds — roster, rides and RSVPs, announcements, the feed, photos, dues, expenses, invitations and the club's own audit trail — as a single file, at any time, without asking us and without paying.

No. Alliance membership is a label a club claims; it grants no access to anything. One club cannot see another club's roster, money or posts either. Officers of your club, and only your club, can reach your club's data.

Platform administrators can see which clubs exist and who belongs to them, so they can create a club and hand it to its officers. They cannot see roster details, dues, posts or photos.

Yes, and it is the default. Nobody outside your own clubs can find you unless you switch that on. Inside a club you can also hide your contact details from other members; officers can still reach you, because somebody has to be able to.

Running your club on Kesher is free while we are getting started, and we have no plan to charge for a roster, rides or announcements. See pricing for what we expect to charge for later — and note that founding clubs ride free for the opening season.

With a link sent to their email or phone, or with Face ID once they have set it up. There are no passwords to forget, reset or leak.

Write to us from the contact page. We create the club, hand it to whoever runs it, and step back — from then on the officers run it and we cannot see inside.
