dynax Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I have been toying with the idea of joining a local motorcycle group, they meet up a couple of times a month at a local pub, but not very practical in my current situation, but they do have regular ride outs and hold a whole load of events throughout the year, has anyone been a member or still are of any groups that could share their experience with them, it may also be useful for new riders to join a group and gain some knowledge and build up a network of friends to ride with Quote
dynax Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 I found this directory of clubs/groups might be of use to some looking for a club to join http://www.thebikerguide.co.uk/motorcycleclublinks.html Quote
Tankbag Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 There's a massive club list in The Old Bike Mart ( usually included with Motorcycle Sport & Leisure) but it's a free paper anyway Quote
dynax Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 The next meet for my local club is this Monday, I might be able to pop down for an hour and see what the form is like Quote
brad93 Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 I’m in a Facebook bike ‘group’. Not a proper bike club or anything just a kind of social group, but have been on plenty of rideouts. About 15 of us did 450 miles to and around Wales on Monday. It is a good laugh and I do enjoy the group rides. We do have a club here in Leicester as well who have their own clubhouse and stuff, they’re not an MC or anything, but haven’t joined up to them. Think it’s like £12 a year or something. If you’re happy to ride with others then go for it! Quote

If you’re happy to ride with others then go for it! I sent them an email last night, got a reply this morning saying to go down and meet them, only a small group 35 members, this one is also £12 to join, but you do get affiliated with BMF and MAG which could be a bonus as some insurance companies offer extra discount for being a club member Quote
