We are an independent club for people who are interested in BMW motorcycles. We are not bound to any BMW dealer or any other commercial interest. You don't have to own a BMW to join, but you should expect to be surrounded by people who do own and enjoy BMW motorcycles. You don't have to be a resident of New Hampshire. We are not restricted to one school of thought regarding "proper" BMW's. Our members own new, old, classic (whatever that means), stock, customized, souped up, normal and bizarre hybrid variations of GS, Boxer, K, and R type BMW's. Absolute BMW purists (whatever they are) are welcome, white lab coats and all; but don't expect any official BMW party line to be automatic gospel. Even BMW has changed its bikes and its parts suppliers from time to time. We have members with anywhere from very little to substantial riding experience, including high milers, low milers, day trippers, overnighters, European travelers, and people who seem to commute about 1500 miles each weekend for no special reason. Many of us are members of BMW Riders Association (RA) and BMW Motorcycles Owners of America (MOA) as well as other BMW clubs. Wherever you find BMWs, you generally find some Moto Guzzi fanatic, Triumph die-hard, or crazed Ducati rider. This club grew out of the New Hampshire chapter of RA. Some felt that a NH based general interest BMW club would be a good way to get to meet other BMW riders. We acknowledge we wouldn't be here without RA and are thankful that our memberships in RA gave us the opportunity to meet. We do group rides. We meet one day of every month of the year for a meal and spend the rest of the day on a ride. We also have weekday evening rides. We encourage different members to sponsor an event. Riding is at a relaxed to moderate pace. No one gets left behind. Basically we're a pretty laid back club with good people, which makes for both interesting meals and pleasant rides. We also have a club rally in September, which includes prepared meals, rides, camping, and a campfire. Because we are a small club the rally is by pre-registration only. We have a newsletter of sorts, which is published eleven months of the year. Ideally, it will be jam packed with exciting reading. In reality, like many local newsletters, you can probably count on reading the editor's pleas for product reviews and articles, which, of course, you will take seriously. In return you won't have to wash your bike before, during and after each meeting or ride. Please join us |
