THE CLUB LIST

Dee Winegardner

There's a Club for Most Any Brand of Motorcycle or Motorcyclist.

Motorcycle nuts are special people ... and when they form clubs to share their particular biking interests, they are especially valuable.

We asked organizations to let us know who and where they were. Through the response, we discovered there are clubs for every biker: The special make or model devotee, the classic and antique buff, the touring family, and the racing enthusiast. Rallies, touring events, newsletters, and, best of all, those hard-to-find parts are offered by many of these clubs.

Some of the listings here are the National Headquarters. If you are interested in a regional chapter, contact the headquarters directly for the one nearest you. Although space does not allow all of the member clubs to be mentioned here, a comprehensive club roster will be maintained for reader interest and information at the Cycle World editorial offices.

Because the clubs are generally managed by volunteers, a self-addressed, stamped envelope should be included in any correspondence with a club.

The dedication and camaraderie of these organizations are worth looking into. You may find the one to further your own biking interests.
