Motorcycle Clubs


 

 
Motorcycles are a lot fun to drive, but they are also a wonderful way to spend time with others that share your interest.  Years ago the notoriety of certain motorcycle “gangs” or clubs gave hanging out in groups for the purpose of riding bikes a bad name.  Thankfully today, motorcycle clubs are plentiful and provide social activities and companionship as well as offer the safety of strength in numbers when traveling.

A lot of motorcycle clubs are sponsored by manufactures such as Harley-Davidson, BMW, or Honda.  Others are more of an affiliation for groups like the Armed Forces of America MC or the U.S. Military Vets MC.  There are also many groups that are made up of police officers and firefighters while there are others intended just for women riders.    

The group known as the Patriot Guard Riders specializes in providing funeral escorts for military personnel. The Rolling Thunder Club rides in honor of members of the military missing in action and prisoners of war.  Likewise there are clubs for Christian groups.  One of the largest organizations is the American Motorcyclist Association with over 235,000 members.  Their mission statement is “To promote the motorcycle lifestyle and protect the future of motorcycling.”   

Many clubs include training and education, and frequently sponsor sporting events or motorcycle rallies to give members an opportunity to get together and socialize.  The Internet has a website for a motorcycle index listing that allows you to search for clubs in your area, or by your interest or affiliations.  You can also search by bike type.  With all of the choices available, the chances are good that you will be able to find a club that suits your purpose.
