#102452 Sometimes Hangared... But Always Aimed Out
Actually Reece; the Detroit BMW Touring Club (MOA Charter #1, because of Vern Hansen) was first established in 1969,
and they Chartered with the "new" national MOA in 1972 of course.
And that's what I was getting at, with the question of 1972 itself.
There were about 10-20 (+/-) BMW motorbike clubs throughout North America before 1972.
So out of those, AND along with any others that formed up because of the new MOA... do we really know the club's that recognize 2022 as their 50th.
Congrats to your Alabama brothers for their milestone as a club, did they by chance also join MOA in 1972?
With Charter #5 I naturally suspect so.
By the way Reece, your tale of enlightenment, when first learning of the Detroit BMWTC during your early years...
is a highlight within their January 22' newsletter.
It's the last day of the month celebrating January of 50 years ago as our historical founding... a toast to the origin!
