BMW Motorcycles USA

Welcome to the BMW Motorcycle Club of Hampton Roads, also known as “BMWMCHR.” This club is open to those people interested in BMW motorcycles at any level, be it ownership, restoration, collecting, maintaining, riding, and most important, enjoying BMW motorcycling. The ‘BMW’ in the club name is not intended to exclude owners of other brands, but to identify a particular area in interest. Many of our members also own other brands and several do not own a BMW but would like to. The BMW Motorcycle Owners of America and the BMW Riders Association sanction the club. It is intended as a purely recreational club.

Hope to see you at a club meeting soon. There is a whole lot of fun to be had out there and it is just waiting for us.

Our meeting will be held at Golden Coral at 2324 Chesapeake Square Ring Road, Chesapeake, Virginia.    See the maps on the Meeting Map Page.  This is just behind where we used to meet in the mall before.

Directions from south:  Take I-664 and Exit at Portsmouth Blvd going East toward Chesapeake Square.   Turn left into the mall area just before Taylor Road.  If you go too far you can turn left on Taylor Road and take the next left to Chesapeake Square Ring Road and turn left toward Golden Coral.

We are very fortunate to have an excellent dealer in our area, Adventure BMW. Club members are happy to patronize this dealership. This dealer is happy to act as central contact point for the club, since Hampton Roads is such a large area.

       Regular annual club activities include:

a)       Our annual rally, ‘Colonial Virginia Motorcycle Rally’  in Virginia Beach, Virgina.

b)       Our annual Christmas Party, which was last held in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The lifeline of the club is the monthly newsletter, ‘Zeitung’. This helps remind everyone of the upcoming meeting, and informs them of things they might find of interest concerning the BMW motorcycle and riding in general, new product information, a ride a member has taken or what have you.

An annual membership costs $20.00 for a full year running January thru December; a family membership is $25.00. For those who really live “out of town,” corresponding members pay $10.00 per year. For those joining in the second half of the year the proportional dues are $10.  The remainder of the first calendar year is free to new members who are also new to the area.  So if you're new to the area come join us - the first year is on us.   Send dues by check made out to BMWMCHR; mail to our treasurer at the address on the application.  Please complete and sign the application to accompany payment.
