Airheads Beemer Club

by Steve Wishard

BMWNEF is excited to welcome the Airheads Beemer Club to the 2024 Winter Rally. Founded in 1991, the club was created to address a growing information gap due to BMW’s move away from air-cooled boxers. While it has, and does, certainly fill that role, over the years the club has always been a lot more.

In December of 1991 they produced their first newsletter (“Airmail”) and in Feb ‘93 they held their first rally called “Death Valley Rendezvous”. Today the club hosts and attends a wide variety of events all over the country. Rides, of course, Tech Days, Bike Shows, Swap Meets, and much more.

Oh, and don’t forget the community. You would have a very difficult time finding a more welcoming and supportive group of individuals. And, if you don’t happen to own an airhead BMW yourself, don’t let that stop you. Plenty of non-airhead riders frequent the Airhead Beemer Club events.

I expect that the Airheads will be creating an area on the rally grounds, and within that area you will likely witness many of the activities mentioned earlier.

So, if you want to see what it’s all about, the rally is your best opportunity. Stop by their area, introduce yourself as a newbie, make yourself at home, and you’ll receive a warm welcome.

Or, if you own an airhead and need help with an issue, or you are looking for a hard-to-find component, or you would like to see other airhead bikes, or you just want to hang out with folks who understand, you should definitely visit the Airhead Beemer Club at the rally.
