A press conference will be held tonight  (April 26th) at 7:00pm at Greenburgh Town
Hall to kick off Greenburgh’s new Motorcycle Safety Initiative.
The Town of Greenburgh and the Phat Boyz Motorcycle Club have collaborated to present a
Motorcycle Safety Program on Sunday, April 30, 2017 at 100 Hillside Avenue, White Plains, NY
10603 (across from Greenburgh Town Hall). This collaboration includes members of the
Greenburgh community, motorcycle enthusiasts and many local corporate sponsors (Empire
Harley Davidson, Hudson Valley Suzuki Kawasaki, Triumph of Westchester, Cycle Gear of White
Plains, Brendan’s Auto Body, Stop and Shop, Sam’s Club, Motorcycle Safety School and the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation).
This collaboration was started after the tragic fatal motorcycle accident on August 4, 2016
involving Greenburgh resident Andre Garcia. The goal of the Safety Program is to increase both
vehicular and motorcycle awareness and to reinforce the importance of motorcyclists being
properly equipped and obeying vehicle and traffic laws. New motorcycle safety signage has been
erected throughout the Town. The motorcycle from Mr. Garcia’s accident (photo attached) will be
on display at the event to remind motorcyclists of the potential dangers associated with motorcycle
riding.
