The Victoria Motorcycle Club is for the members, by the members. We have been around for over a hundred years, and across decades we have welcomed riders of all ages and skill levels. We believe that riding is one of the few remaining healthy activities that caters to families while connecting us to nature, is uniquely entertaining, and won’t break the bank.

Around here, two wheels are better than four (unless we’re talking of multiple bikes). There are a number of advantages to riding a motorcycle rather than driving a car. They are easier to park, use less gas, and more importantly, they leave less of an environmental impact.

The VMC has long served as property caretakers. Through dedication and collaboration, our community is actively working to expand riding areas and develop off-road trails. We value your support as we continue with our commitment.

As cities expand, they intrude more and more on natural areas, making it increasingly challenging to preserve green space for riding on Vancouver Island. Our 175-acre property has been kept in virtually the same condition as it was when it was first purchased. Our focus is on preserving the land, where we have engaged in minimal trail clearing and maximum maintenance efforts over the years. Thus, our ‘footprint’ has had far less impact than had we established a park or campsite on the same grounds.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the VMC – our heart, our soul. The members themselves organize all events for the benefit of the public and other members. Helping out with an event as a volunteer is a superb way to meet new people, build lasting relationships, and contribute to the overall success of the event. If you would like to volunteer for a forthcoming event, you can discover the details in the Calendar and Events section and then get in touch with the Event Organizer related to that particular happening.

Volunteering is not only required for admission, but it also provides valuable life lessons, physical benefits, and the opportunity to become more involved in our beloved club.

All renewing Active (adult) Members are required to volunteer at a minimum, one day (6 hours min/day) annually to Work-Duty on a club-sanctioned activity, project, or event. You can volunteer to join an event committee or a broad number of ongoing responsibilities. Similarly, Junior & Senior Members are encouraged to assist in any way possible.

Buying motorcycles, apparel, safety gear, construction supplies, and other associated products costs the club and its members thousands of dollars a year, which has a substantial, positive impact on the local economy. The club urges individuals who share in these principles to sign up and show their support.

The VMC strongly discourages trespassing and illegal riding, and instead encourages those who engage in such activities to join the club. By becoming responsible riders and club members, individuals can contribute to the preservation of motorcycling as a family activity and advocate for fair access to public lands for all users.

Motorcycle enthusiasts who are not currently members are encouraged to join so they can acquire responsible motorcycling techniques, learn best practices for sustainable trails, and gain insider knowledge from experienced practitioners within the club.

Joining the VMC allows enthusiasts to add their voices to the growing chorus advocating for the responsible and sustainable enjoyment of the sport. We look forward to welcoming you to our community for generations to come.
