Motorcycle Riders Club of America

Anyone a member? I just got something in the mail from them and what they offer seems to be pretty cool.

Anyone have experience with them?

I got the same thing....

If you Google-Up Motorcycle Riders Club of America you find lots of folks asking the same question!

Generally, the answer is, its pretty much what it says it is.

They say, for $12.00 you get a high quality magazine. (My impression is it's oriented to 'cruisers' but don't know for sure.) They send you free stuff occaisionally. However, at some point you are offered a 'lifetime' membership. I don't know the cost but it seems that the folks with the Lifetime Membership get the 'bette' free stuff.

So...probably no harm/no foul...

I just don't need another magazine. I get Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Sport Rider and Road Racing World as it is...

(Oh,,,and one site I saw looked like it was a database company and were selling the MRCA database...)

Guys, I got this as well.

I'm in the direct marketing (junk mail and mailing list) business. Trust me, that's a scheme designed to harvest information about you. With the freebies they give out and the magazine etc, they are pocketing $10 of your $12 per year and selling your information on to others.

Do what I did, drop it in the nearest waste receptacle.

I needed a new zipper pull, so I snagged the free zipper pull before I tossed it in the circular file

The zipper pull is pretty sweet, isn't it?

Yes, they are oriented towards the cruiser crowd. The magazine is so-so. They also have this book a month thing that is kind of a pain in the ass. They send you a book, you have to send it back (on your own postage, which winds up being more than they claim it is). I kept one or two books (one on painting). If you don't send it back you have to send them a payment for the book. Like I said, kind of a pain in the ass. Not really worth the time....
