We plan and schedule club day-rides and trips from April through November-ish, and have at least monthly breakfast meetings year-round. We are looking at holding an annual picnic and a beginning of the year celebration to kick off the new riding season. We also offer an informative, brilliantly written bi-monthly newsletter (Call of the Road). Our ride and event schedule is in MEETUP (www.meetup.com).

We are a believer in motorcycle skills training to improve safety - We periodically seek out and arrange for motorcycle safety training for our members. Going forward, we want to participate in charitable fundraisers and support local charities, especially related to children in need. Please consider joining the club to enjoy club-based motorcycle riding, and to meet new friends and make lasting memories!
The club also plans international riding events, such as the 15 Day Ireland / Isle of Man (IOM) trip in August 2022, and a 12-day trip to Spain to ride the Pyrenees in September 2024. Looking ahead, we are planning some "ALPS Tours" in the next several years and some members are discussing South America and Australia/New Zealand......
Goals of the Club:
• Provide a fun, friendly, and safe environment for riders of ALL levels of experience, men and women.
• Enjoy safe riding so everyone gets home safely. We urge riders to wear protective gear - All the Gear, All the Time (ATGATT).
Among the benefits of being a member:
- Group rides on some of the best roads in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, and surrounding states. Rides may be on-road or off-road and are led by excellent riders. We plan and take National and International trips as well.
- We ride to the annual BMWMOA National Rally in mid-June each year. The Rally is an opportunity to ride the best roads to and from the Rally Site, to meet others riders from all over the U.S., to enjoy great food, listen to live music, and enjoy local day rides. It is also an opportunity to volunteer to help during the Rally, working alongside fellow members.
- Social gatherings with fellow riders, whether it is a breakfast meeting or a ride to lunch.
- Sponsored motorcycle safety training classes.
- A directory of club members. Search the directory for members in your zip code or your general area and create your own group of local riding buddies. See the google map below for where you can find our club members.
- Access to the Club's on-line forum to meet fellow riders, discuss technical issues or trade/sell/buy motorcycle parts or gear.
- We are building a full Ride Library of GPX files and maps of routes throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding states noted for their scenery or for the twisty mountain roads.
Thanks!
