Our Club

Our club, the Brampton Motorcycle Association, could be what you are looking for. We are a group of riders who are enthusiastic about everything to do with the sport of motorcycling. Our members ride every make, model, style, shape, and size imaginable -- from sportbikes and touring bikes, to cruisers and even the new style scooters. You name it and one of our riders probably has one!

B.M.A. riders enjoy a multitude of activities and events. We are primarily a touring and sport touring club, however interest among members covers all aspects of the sport, from weekend touring/white water rafting on the Ottawa River, to watching bike races at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Throughout the season we offer Sunday one day rides to destinations in Southern Ontario, most times suggested by the members themselves. Places such as St. Jacobs, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Port Dover, and Wasaga Beach have been visited in the past seasons.

Our Tuesday night meet/rides are local but still quite fun and entertaining, and most of all, we are out riding!!

The B.M.A. encourages family participation on all rides and events. As an example this past summer we had a Picnic/BBQ, where families took part in activities such as a scavenger hunt, water games and building birdhouses!

We support and participate in other charity rides and events throughout Ontario such as the BAD Ride, TOMA Ride, Ride for Dad, and Amazing Ride forf MS, to name a few.

All motorcyclists are welcome.  If you are interested in joining, or require any additional information, please feel free to drop by at any of our meetings or visit our Website.

So.... Why Ride Alone?? Come join us and enhance the fun and adventure that is the motorcycling experience!!!

Our History

Although our group as it is found today, was founded in September 1981, there are traces of our motorcycle heritage dating back to 1935 (right).

The original "Brampton Motorcycle Club" consisted mostly of Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle owners. This was mostly due to Mervin and Del Beatty, who ran the local motorcycle shop, used as the meeting point (and backdrop of this picture).

In September of 1981, a group of riders got together, and under the guidance of Gerry German founded the Brampton Motorcycle Association.

This associations' goal was to provide the Brampton region and surrounding areas with a motorcycle club whose main interests would be to promote a positive image of motorcycling as a safe and enjoyable sport.

Today, the B.M.A regularly donates money to various charitable organizations such as the Sunshine Foundation, the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Museum, and offers its time for a variety of local government promotional activities.

As well, the club hosts, provides security, and helps the organizers of the IMSS and Spring Bike Shows each year. We are also proud to state that we have been helping out with "The B.A.D. Ride" as parking attendants for the last three consecutive years. Look for us again this year!
