Chicago Region BMW Owners Association

MEET THE CHICAGO REGION CLUB

CRBMW members are a diverse group of men and women who are individualists by nature. We come from all walks of life – tradesmen, professionals, business owners, housewives, retirees, students. Some of our members are in their early 20s and others in their 80s. What we all have in common is our love of motorcycling–and our interest in BMWs!

CRBMWOA is a great organization for BMW motorcycle fellowship, group riding activities and technical information regarding both new and vintage BMW motorcycles. Whether you log thousands of miles on one trip or just putt around town, you’ll benefit greatly from the friendships, expertise and outlook of your fellow members of the Chicago Region BMW Owners Association.
