Why Join BMW MOA? More Than a BMW Motorcycle Club

Motorcycling is more than the motorcycle in your garage. It is the roads you discover, the places you visit, the things you learn and, most importantly, the people you meet along the way.

The BMW Motorcycle Owners of America brings those experiences together in one of North America’s largest communities of motorcycle enthusiasts. With nearly 25,000 members, BMW MOA connects riders through shared knowledge, travel, events, technical resources, member support and a passion for life on two wheels.

If motorcycles are part of your life, you’re invited to be part of ours.

Find Your Motorcycle Community

Some riders join the BMW MOA because they want to learn more about their motorcycle. Others want people to ride with, places to go, technical knowledge, help on the road or simply a community that understands why getting up early on a Saturday to ride 300 miles sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea.

Whatever brings you here, community is at the center of BMW MOA membership.

With nearly 25,000 members, you’re joining a network built around riders helping riders. That community extends from conversations online to rallies, local clubs, events, roadside encounters and friendships that can last for decades.

For experienced riders, the MOA is a place to share what you’ve learned. For newer riders, it’s a place to learn from people who have already traveled the roads you’re just beginning to explore. For everyone, it’s an opportunity to make motorcycling a little less solitary and a lot more connected.

Ride Knowing Thousands of Riders Have Your Back

Few BMW MOA benefits capture the spirit of the organization better than the BMW Owners Anonymous Book.

Members voluntarily list the types of help they may be willing to provide to another rider—from mechanical assistance, workspace and tools to a truck or trailer, camping space, a place to sleep or simply coffee and conversation.

The Anonymous App can also help members locate participating MOA members, BMW Motorrad dealers and Chartered Clubs while traveling.

That’s more than a membership benefit. That’s riders helping riders.

Get Answers From Riders Who Have Been There Before

Motorcyclists accumulate knowledge. Which tire works best for long-distance touring? How difficult is a valve service? What should you pack for Alaska? What’s causing that strange noise from an Airhead?

BMW MOA membership connects you to a deep pool of real-world motorcycle experience through the BMW MOA Member Forums. Members can ask technical questions, research motorcycle-specific issues, share maintenance and repair knowledge, discuss travel and equipment and connect with fellow riders.

There’s also a members-only Marketplace where members can buy and sell motorcycles, parts, accessories and other personal items among fellow enthusiasts.

More Reasons to Make the MOA Part of Your Ride

Motorcycles Open the Door. The People Keep You Coming Back.

Rallies, riding events, camping, seminars, road trips and club gatherings give members a reason to meet in person—and often create the friendships that make the organization meaningful long after the event is over.

You don’t need decades of riding experience. You don’t need to know how to rebuild an engine. You don’t even need to own a BMW. You only need to share the belief that motorcycling is better when riders help, teach, encourage and ride alongside one another.
