Latest Update on Building 16 for the club’s use!
The BMW Riders Association 2024 National Rally is open for business! Fryeburg Fairgrounds in western Maine will be home base as riders converge for epic doses of fun and adventure.
A wicked good time!
“You all will love Maine!” says Ed Desimone, an RA member from Ohio who frequents New England tarmac.
“There are beautiful forests to wander in and the Atlantic ocean to jump in—and freeze your a$$ off. Lobsters grow on trees, and you get to learn a new language—they insist that it is English, but I have my doubts.”Ed is referring to numerous unique phrases rampant among New Englanders, a quality we love! For example, during the rally you may find yourself avoiding a statie, spotting a swamp donkey, or banging a uey. Above all, we hope you will have a wicked good time. If we’re very lucky, it’ll be wicked pissah!
