The Antique Motorcycle Club of America established itself in 1954 and has grown to over 10,000 members worldwide. The AMCA has grown to 49 Chapters throughout the USA and Europe. Find out more about the AMCA at their web site www .antiquemotorcycle.org

The local Chapter is Yankee Chapter covering the New England states. There are also several New York and NJ Chapters.

The Yankee chapter, founded in 1973, currently has a membership exceeding 200. You can find us at www.yankeechapter.org .

The primary goal of the club is to foster the enjoyment of old motorcycles, connect people with each other, and provide a forum for the sharing of information, parts, and machines. The Yankee Chapter also has a philanthropic side, supporting individuals and organizations in need.

The Yankee Chapter sponsors a meet the first weekend every August in Hebron, Connecticut with a road ride, swap meet, banquet, and bike judging. In the Fall the Yankees meet up in Sterling CT to camp and ride and eat!

2008 brings a new adventure, with the Yankees joining with the Hudson Valley, Big Sandbar, and Empire, of NY; Colonial, and Seaboard Chapters of NJ; to co-sponsor a Super Meet in Rhinebeck NY June 13-15.  There will be hundreds of vendors and bikes on display, including our special Timeline of motorcycles as we assemble 3 ro 4 bikes from each year from turn of the century to 1973.

Antique motorcycles must be 35 years old, of any brand and nationality. You will find plenty of Harleys, Indians, BMW, and Triumph but some of the most interesting and beautiful are the unusual names that have been out of production for decades or little known in the USA: Zundapp, Henderson, Pope, ACE, BSA, Thor, among others. Prior to 1915 there were over 700 different brands in the USA.

The Yankee Chapter is sponsoring a promotional event at the Springfield Motorcycle show, and we expect to have the following bikes on display: 1964 HD FL, 1929 HD JD, 1926 Henderson, 1960 BMW, 1934 BMW , 1934 and 49 Zundapp, 53 Triumph, 70 Yamaha, and we are working bringing a 1905 Indian among others.
