look out!!!
... is a very interesting story. While this thread is not intended to be comprehensive or linear, I hope it provides some perspective on clubs in our early years, and some entertainment. Feel free to chime in with any info or pictures you may have. I am also looking for contacts at clubs that can help me in telling this story.

Below is a page from a magazine that sheds a little light upon how and why BMW clubs started here in the USA. This magazine, For the Joy of Riding Motorcycle Journal, was published by the second company to import and distribute BMW Motorrad in the USA: Butler & Smith.
There is (at least) one well-recognized named mentioned, it being associated with the winner of the first American Superbike race... ... and here is a great article on Udo Geitl, the man who built the bikes.
(I was in the stands at this race...)
