| Memphis Tour Riders was established on July 13, 1991 as Tennessee
Chapter "M" of the Gold Wing Touring Association. In February 2002, the Memphis Tour Riders voted to dissolve our association
with GWTA and became an independent, non-political, non-profit motorcycle
club open to all brands and makes of bikes. We are a motorcycle club that
focuses on riding and touring with friends and family. We offer an alternative
option to the typical Member-Led motorcycle owners' organizations. We are a true
Member-Run organization that doesn't care what you ride as long as you accept
our perseverance of "Friendship"...and return it. |
