Welcome to the Metro Triumph Riders, a group of Detroit-area bike enthusiasts dedicated to the care and feeding of all makes of British motorcycles, old and new. We are a nonprofit Michigan corporation, an affiliate of the American Motorcyclist Association, with membership open to anyone interested in motorcycles manufactured in England.

The Metro Triumph Riders support ownership of our beloved British motorcycles through monthly meetings, frequent technical repair and maintenance sessions, club rides, picnics, and our annual show, the Battle of the Brits, held the second Sunday in September. Our information-packed monthly newsletter helps keep members informed of upcoming meetings and events, and includes valuable technical articles and columns of interest to all fans of these distinctive British bikes.

“The President’s role here is curious, since his job has little to do with power, a lot to do with distracting people from the real sources of power.” 

-- The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

This may help explain why I’m the president of MTR again. I really believe the actual power are the members themselves. So, if there is distraction involved, I’m sure I can provide what we need. If I have a problem doing that, I can always defer to our new vice president, Bob Harris, who usually does a pretty good job of distracting people himself.

I want to thank Cal Norman for the time he put in as president. He’s done a terrific job of holding the club together. With his leadership, we are still a club with a solid membership, which can’t be said for many fraternal groups these days.

I hope you become involved with the motorcycle events and functions we put together for the coming riding season. If you think of things you want the club to become do, bring them up at the meeting or email any of the officers. We are always looking for something new to keep things interesting.

Get your butt on your bike! Ride safe, and support your local Triumph rider.
