I dunno much about the club or sticker stuff.
I was stationed at Ft.Stewart from 84 to 86. Except for the gators, armadillos and swamps, I loved that place. I lived in Savannah near HAAF. Being part of the Rapid Deployment Force means being nearby at all times.
Is it still the 24th Infantry Division with the purple Hawaiian leaf as a shoulder patch?
Anyway, rock on, keep safe and god bless you for the job you are performing.

We've got at least one member here that help start a bike club, maybe they'll chime in.

Actually it's the 3rd ID patch now. The Iraqi's refer to as a broken T.V. because of the look and thanks.

First off... :welcome: and thanks for doing your thing in our military! at:

Second, starting a club is very hard work. Discounts... they really only come with great numbers. The more numbers you have the better the discounts. Insurance company? I don't think you'll get any discounts there!

Merged the threads and left a re-direct in the everyday riding section. This way it's all in one thread...

Also, as Shan said... ask away... been there done that! :cheers:

I think he made two threads trying to get more responses.

 

[Gas Man]

But it won't and there are still 2 items looking like threads... but both go to one thread!

you can also check out the AMA site for benefits that you get if you make your club an AMA chartership, etc. We at WOS opted not to do so because the cost seemed to outvalue the benefits, etc. But we are an established club as well. Maybe it would make sense for a new club to do so. By doing so entitles you to discounts on insurance, towing, repair, dealerships, etc. etc. Its all on their site.

Setting up a club is only as hard as you chose to make it and depends on what you expect to get out of it. It can be very simple or as Gasman said very complicated.

When you get back if you plan on having any meets post them up, I'm stationed at HAAF, just got back myself and have a bunch of friends that ride. Theres already a group up here called redline riders. I've not met all of them however people from my company alone ride a bunch.
