Our club is a non-profit international organization with chapters in both the United States and Canada, and is operated for the pleasure of motorcyclists and for anyone with an interest in motorcycles. Each state or province is considered to be an individual chapter, governed by an elected Director who is responsible to the members in each individual chapter. Members are encouraged to participate in club functions but the level of participation is up to the individual member. Our club recognizes all types, sizes and makes of motorcycles. Even though the club is based on motorcycling, owning a motorcycle is not a prerequisite for membership. PEOPLE are the most important element of this club, which encompasses members from all walks of life, interacting with each other and the general public to further the image of motorcycling as a safe pastime. Our hope is that this information provides you with an insight and an interest in the North American 40+ Touring Riders Illinois Chapter.
