  INTRODUCTION
 


The BMW Owners’ Club of South Australia was formed on the 14th of July 1958 and currently has approximately 80 members.

It is open to anyone who owns, or has owned, a BMW motorcycle, motorcar, or aeroplane engine. The Club’s activities centre around motorcycles, although some members also own BMW cars.

Club members collectively own a vast range of machines – an active historic register as well as new models.

The Club's logo on this page, comprises 3 Sturt Pea flowers (our State's Flora emblem) over an artists representation combining the flat K series motor (LHS) and the boxer-engine cylinder (RHS).

An email from Ben in WA

I'm a BMW rider from Perth and I'm planning a 7500km trip to SA, QLD, NT and back to WA in August (a follow-on from the Border Run. I thought some of the SA riders may like to join in for part of the trip when I go through there but I cannot locate your club forum to post the ride. I've posted it on the WA club forum HERE

A forum to help our members stay in touch with each other sounds like a great idea.  I'll see if I can set one up; stay tuned!!

Trevor Hill has sent through some information regarding the biggest BMW Motorrad Treffen in the world, which is held around the first weekend in July each year in Garmish-Partenkirchen in Germany.  More info Here
OK, so it's a bit late for this year, but we hope to get info in time for next year.
(We were in G-P for Christmas 2006 and it is a beautiful part of Germany, just as you would picture a German Alpine town to be. The whole southern part of Germany has literally thousands of bikers coming out of the woodwork as soon as the weather improves after winter.  There are innumerable Treffens happening, the car drivers treat bikers with respect and you can (sort of) legally go as fast as you like on the Autobahns!  NG)

BMW Clubs Survey

 The survey has now ended, but stay tuned for the results. 

 

   
 


1923 R32-first BMW Motorcycle completely built by BMW

The 1923 BMW R32 motorcycle was a 500 cc cycle designed by Max Friz. Earlier models created by the company, including the Flink (148 cc) and the Helios (500 cc), were chain driven. BMW even experimented with a belt driven cycle before determining that shaft-drive was the most effective and reliable way to power a motorcycle.
