BMW RA Chartered Club Program

New Logo

The International Council of Clubs has released the final, approved version of the new BMW Clubs Corporate Identity guidelines, which can be downloaded here. Complete adoption of the new format is not compulsory until January 2010.

This is an example of the new format. The dimensional details and many other requirements are spelled out in the download. There is no alternative format (such as a vertically oriented one).

The RA will create new logos for any chartered club wanting assistance in this. Contact the VP using this page.

Chartered Club Program

The BMW Riders Association is dedicated to assisting BMW motorcycle enthusiasts as both individuals and clubs. As a member of the International Council of BMW Clubs (ICC), the RA provides a valuable link for its Chartered Clubs to voice their concerns to the highest levels of BMW AG (Corporate). BMW has long known that local area clubs and their members are the backbone of their international operation, but only recognizes "approved umbrella clubs" (organizations that affiliate other clubs) like the RA. What does that mean to you, or your club? It means that by chartering your club with the BMW RA you no longer are just a local club standing alone in a global community, but an official part of a united effort along with other BMW clubs, that together creates a strong influence on today's issues and endeavors. It also means your club has specific rights and permissions to use the BMW name and roundel (see the BMW Clubs guidelines above for details of use).

2004 marked the beginning of a new responsiveness of the RA to its members and clubs. Your Board of Trustees has restructured our Chartered Clubs Program in a way they feel will benefit every club that participates. Please take some time to learn about it and let us know what you think. Send any questions or comments about this program directly to the Board of Trustees.

The RA has a long history of supporting its members and clubs, ideals, traditions, and activities without judgmental overtones. In the "BMW riders world" we are known for having the "Right Attitude". It is always the highest complement when yet another club charters with us. Below, you will find listed, local BMW motorcycle clubs who are thinking globally. If your club is not listed below, consider joining us. If your club's listing is shaded, please have them contact the Chartered Clubs Coordinator to update your information. It's free when your club qualifies and your club will benefit from your affiliation with the RA.
