One of the many attractions to owning a motorcycle is the history and community that comes with having your own! Even if you aren’t initially interested in joining the community, there is definitely a unique feeling that comes with purchasing a motorcycle. Our team at Windy City Motorcycle Company can help you get the most out of your ownership experience, so continue reading to learn more about getting involved in your local community of motorcycle enthusiasts!

Charity Rides

A great way to interact with other motorcycle riders in your area is to look for upcoming charity rides. Usually during the summer months there will be rides in your area that support local organizations and fundraise for worthy causes.

This can be a great way to get started! You can meet riders in your community, support a good cause, and enjoy a ride with many other riders. You don’t have to commit to any memberships or regular meetings, but you’ll still have the opportunity to get a feel for what it’d be like to immerse yourself in the riding community!

Meet-Ups

After you participate in a charity ride, you might find yourself more interested in joining a local motorcycle club or going to regular meet-ups. You can use the connections you made at the ride to ask around about opportunities to get involved! Many clubs will meet once a month and ride together in the area.

These two opportunities are great ways to expand your network in the motorcycle community and make friends with other riders who can become great resources for advice. Our Illinois and Wisconsin teams look forward to helping you find the right motorcycle model and the right riding community! Visit us soon in Chicago or Milwaukee!
