Motorcycle Clubs
Let’s start with a bit of history. First motorcycle clubs were social groups just like any social group out there, for example an American Legion club or a car club. Then as time went by these clubs started to become motorcycle gang clubs. Right now we have a mix of both worlds and then some. We still have the normal motorcycle gangs, motorcycle social clubs and motorcycle groups that are more for raising money. Many of these clubs now have their own publishing of some sort such as a magazine or newsletter.
Motorcycle clubs are great sources of information when it comes to buying a bike, restoring a bike or wanting to get ideas on customization and accessorizing. In addition, motorcycle clubs provide a great deal of knowledge and support. In most cases if you’re having a problem with your motorcycle you will almost always get answers at a motorcycle club since someone at some time has probably faced the problem you are faced with.
There are 4 different types of motorcycle clubs:
- International, National and Independent (ex. BMW MOA which stands for Motorcycle Owner’s Association
- Manufacturer created / sponsored (ex. H.O.G. which stands for Harley Owners Group
Here are the websites for both of the above clubs:
Motorcycle Clubs Index
H.O.G. Harley Owners Group
BWM Motorcycle Owners of America
Read up on them, talk to some people that belong to them, and see which one is right for you. Not all motorcycle clubs are the same and not all will be your cup of tea so do your research.
If you would like to post a link on this website on a club you are part of or would recommend just submit your information by filling out the form below and we’ll list it here for others to view and enjoy.
