BMWMCCWA

The Club was formed on 1 June 1974 and has been a focal point for many BMW motorcycle enthusiasts since then. Our aim is to promote camaraderie between like minded people, sharing the enjoyment of owning and riding BMW motorcycles.

Our intention for this page is to build up a history of the club. This can be supported by quotes from members and relevant photographs. To date most of the clubs history is recorded only in the minds of a few rare fellows so we will need to track them down and pen an account of how things came to be!

If you know someone we should consult, or if you are that someone! please get in touch with President@bmwmccwa.asn.au or one of the club committee members. Better yet please write up what you know and send it to us at...
