Welcome to the Montana BMW Riders Club Website
About Us
The Montana BMW Riders Club is an informal group of motorcycle riders located in and around Montana. We are fortunate to have such incredible riding opportunities in our state and enjoy riding here and other places throughout the world. Even though our name says BMW, all makes of bikes and riders of all abilities are very welcome.
Once a month, especially in warmer weather, we descend upon a remote destination, accessed by terrific roads, for a meal and socializing. See our Ride Schedule for our next gathering spot. Other scheduled rides, riding contests, and a Tech Day (weekend of maintenance and repair) are usually planned during the riding season. Our club places an emphasis on safety and offers members an opportunity to receive scholarships or partial reimbursement for rider skills improvement training.
A monthly newsletter is published, emailed to the members, and posted on the website, filled with suggested rides, activities, photos, and entertaining stories from your peers. We are financially supported through membership dues and our advertisers in the Newsletters and website. Please support those advertisers that support us. All officers and staff serve voluntarily with no financial assistance from the club.
We are a chartered club with the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America and the American Motorcyclist Association. You do not need to be a member of these clubs to participate in our functions or to join our group. Our club bylaws may be downloaded at this link. We hope to see you on the road!

** Our club encourages safe riding practices and promotes rider training. Most members are advocates of ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time) and you will seldom see members riding without their safety gear.
Our goal is to make our riding passion as safe as possible, with an objective of being able to ride to the next lunch date.
If a 6 year old rider like the one in the photo can have the where-with-all to dress appropriately, we should let that peer pressure be our guide..
