Brings back memories of the old days. Riding in the 60s, 70s, and 80 were some of the happiest times of my life.

I grew up in St. Cloud, and still get back there quite often to see family.

I had heard of the BPM over the years...but I have never seen anybody sportin their colors. That doesnt' mean much, but if they were a BIG club, one would think that at one time or another, I would accidently stumble across ONE member.

I was given a different definition of BPM also......Brothers, Pr!cks and MotherFawkers.....dont' know if that is accurate or not.

Old time club that has been around a long time. I stopped by to see Gumby last week to catch up and he mentioned that he had had breakfast and rode some the weekend before with the BPMs.

Used to see a lot of them back in the early 70's, the joint/caboose usually had a fair share of bikers, but haven't seem much of anybody flying colors now like they used to.

Best guess is the hassle factor from the local popo maybe?

It was two BPM's that stopped to see what was going on when my 72 XLCH had died, they figured it was the points had come lose and reset them for me.

Was the only time I seen a guy start a kick start Sporty by hand.

Wife used to deal with them when she worked at Drag Specialties, says they were always courteous to her.

They are a group that I think you'd not want mad at you, that's for sure.

I can remember them from back in the mid to late 50s. They had a camp ground about three miles east of Harris, MN (center of the known universe). They would hang out between their camp and the Harris Hotel (their bar) every weekend all summer. As I recall, BPM was the center of the patch and the top rocker was THEMADONES.

yup, it has been Beer ***** and Motorcycles since the 50s
