HISTORY OF THE MONTANA CHAPTER The Western Montana chapter’s first breakfast was held in April of 2002, with only six people in attendance; two members and four guests. With the help of a local motorcycle dealership, word of mouth, and a few announcements in the local papers, this chapter has grown to a membership of 47, as of May 1st, 2006. Members are from Thompson Falls, Polson, and Missoula and Ravalli Counties. The chapter is represented by two areas, Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley. Besides having a chapter breakfasts the first and second Saturdays of every month (year-round), we have a varied, ever-increasing schedule of rides and social activities, i.e. Rider School, summer picnic, a memorial ride, monthly rides after breakfast and “pick-up” rides in between, as well as a Christmas party or two. Our chapter rules require that you be over the age of 25 to attend breakfasts, rides or events, and that all riders and passengers wear a helmet. Club membership is reserved for folks 40 and older. Guests are always welcome to join any of our activities or events. |
