The Ford Motorcycle Club is a group of motorcyclists interested in supporting and encouraging safe and enjoyable motorcycling through regular organised rides and events, rider training courses, sharing motorcycle-related information & rider experiences, and portraying motorcyclists as responsible users of the road.
We typically ride from April through October. Depending on the route, our weekly rides usually begin by meeting between 5:45 - 6:15 pm at the Grand Traverse Pie Company in Plymouth. The specific location and ride details for any given week can be found at fordmotorcycleclub.org/calendar. After a brief announcement from the ride leader about general safety reminders and where we’re going, we line up in staggered formation and depart for a 60-90 minute group ride. We always take the fun way because for us, the journey is the destination.
Other events are also listed at fordmotorcycleclub.org and details are usually communicated through the membership email distribution list. Some of these extra events often include an annual club-provided picnic in the summer, a winter dinner, and training opportunities.
Club members will frequently plan rides and invite others to join on weekend (or even week-long) trips. Some of our recent field trips have included the Rockies of Colorado, the Ozarks of Arkansas, the Natchez Trace Parkway, the Mid-Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route, Route 66, and the twisties of Southeast Ohio.
Our dues are $20.00 annually and you must have a motorcycle endorsement to ride with the group.
Come ride with us! We recommend that you join us for at least one ride before deciding to join the club.
