15th Anniversary of BMWCLAF: Celebrating a Decade and a Half of Passion for Motorcycling
The BMW Clubs Latin America Federation (BMWCLAF) was founded in 2009 in the picturesque city of Curitiba, Brazil. Now, in 2024, we are delighted to celebrate 15 years of activities dedicated to promoting motorcycling and camaraderie among our members.
Each year, our federation organizes an annual assembly in various countries across Latin America and the Caribbean. For this special occasion, we have decided to return to Brazil, specifically to the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, to kick off an unforgettable tourist experience. Following this, we will head to Curitiba for our annual assembly, which will include scheduled visits to the BMW Factory in Araquari and the renowned BMW Motorrad Curitiba Museum, recognized as the fifth BMW motorcycle museum in the world. This museum houses an impressive collection of 40 classic BMW motorcycles, all in excellent working condition.
The tourist and gastronomic activities, along with the exchange of experiences among members of the official BMW club boards, promise to be spectacular. As always, we will offer a range of BMW-related novelties, including the traditional exclusive gifts for participants.
This year, as we mark our crystal anniversary, we renew our commitment to excellence in motorcycling and the promotion of the passion for two wheels in Latin America and the Caribbean. We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone with all our members and supporters!
Join the Celebration and Experience the Excitement of Motorcycling with BMWCLAF!
