In 2017, there are 113 million motorcycles in Indonesia or 43% of the total population of 264 million. With this amount, of course there are also many motorcycle communities and/ or motorcycle gangs. Many social and psychological studies have been done and found positive aspects of motorcycle communities and negative aspects of motorcycle gangs. In addition, the previous studies are mostly descriptive in nature and no more interpretive meanings. So, this research aims to explore the meaning of being a member of the motorbike community on campus. This research is a case study involving five participants to answer research questions: What the meaning of the motorcycle community for you? Do you have personal problems? Why? The result consists five themes including intention of gathering, community as a place to avoid problems, community as a place to cope stress, and aspiration of the founder. Psychological perspective and intervention to promote safety riding are discussed.
