Motorcycle clubs have been around for almost as long as motorcycles have, with the first club starting in New York back in 1903. Since then, thousands of motorcycle clubs have been founded around the world to foster community and connect riders with others who share their passion. Here are just a few of the many benefits you can gain from joining a local motorcycle club.

Building Camaraderie

Motorcyclists can seem sort of like lone wolves when they’re riding on their own over long stretches of empty highways. But motorcycling doesn’t have to be a lonesome activity. When you join a motorcycle club, you can make new friends and expand your social circle. Maybe your current friends or your family have no interest in your hobby, but the people at your local club certainly do, so you can talk with them for hours without worrying whether they’re getting bored.

Expanding Your Skill Set

Because motorcycle clubs are comprised of beginner, intermediate, and experienced riders, you are bound to find someone who can teach you something new about your bike or about riding in general. No matter how experienced you are, it’s always nice to gain a new perspective from other riders. If you’re in a motorcycle club, you’ve got access to people from all walks of life with all sorts of skills they could teach you.

Having Access to Riding Companions

Not everyone loves to ride their motorcycle solo, and riding in a group tends to be a safer option no matter who you are. If you’re worried about finding someone to ride with you on a short or long journey, then joining a motorcycle club will allow you to find someone who’s interested in coming with you. You may be able to start up a regular weekend ride with several members of the club!
