I'm about a month behind with this news but it's still noteworthy I think. On March 19 the AMA announced the Bay Area Riders Forum (BARF) as its first "O/MC," or Online Motorcycle Community. As a member of both BARF and the AMA I'm proud to be a part of two organizations that further the sport and cause of motorcycling. It's good to know the AMA is keeping up with changing technology and has chosen to recognize the impact and importance of online communities.
An O/MC is a new type of organization for the AMA, an officially recognized Internet list or forum. Requirements for an AMA-endorsed O/MC are not as rigorous as those for an actual Motorcycle Club, although I think AMA endorsement is a significant achievement for any organization.
More information is available in the AMA press release and the BARF forum announcement.
