The International Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians was founded in 1992 by Rotarians in Australia, Canada, Sweden, and the United States, and now has members and chapters Worldwide. The Fellowship is open to all Rotarians with an interest in motorcycles... touring, riding off-road, racing, collecting, restoring, motor scooters or otherwise. You don't have to own a motorcycle to join.

The Motorcycling Fellowship is focused on having fun and fellowship, on meeting other Rotarians from around the World and on motorcycle safety. We fully support all of the tenets of Rotary, and although we have raised money for charity, we tend to fulfill our community service through our local Rotary Clubs. Local rides may be for a day, a weekend or longer, with routes generally planned so Rotarians can ride the complete route or join us along the way. Most of the Fellowship's events are open to all Rotarians, their families and guests and all marquees ridden by Rotarians are welcome.

The North American Chapter has held events in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Texas, Washington, the Great Lakes area, Arizona, New Mexico, and in California, plus we have had rides to Mexico and Canada.

On an international level, six members of the United Kingdom Chapter spent four weeks riding across the United States from New Jersey to Los Angeles in the 1994 Trans-USA-Ride and in 1996 the Fellowship organized three international rides...the Ride-Round-Britain (Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland), the Ride-to-Calgary to the International Convention and the European Alpine Tour.

In 1997 the Australian Chapter organized the Simpson Desert Ride with Rotarians from Holland, the United Kingdom and Australia participating, seven Scandinavian Rotarians rode the southwest United States with Rotarians from Arizona and southern California, Rotarians from the United States rode with the United Kingdom Chapter after the Glasgow International Convention, four Rotarians from Australia rode with the North American Chapter in the San Luis Obispo Ride in California, and Rotarians from the United Kingdom rode with French Motorcycling Rotarians.

During 1998 new Chapters were formed in Belgium, Holland and in New Zealand with the Northern Europe and United Kingdom Chapters joining in the Belgium and Holland Chapters' rides. With active chapters in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Central Europe, France, Holland, New Zealand, North America, Northern Europe, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, a full schedule of rides is planned.
