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!
