Who we are
We are a bunch of bikers with great enthusiasm for riding Harley-Davidson, listening to Blues Rock and Blues, living a casual life, fostering cohesion and friendship. This philosophy of life has been keeping us together successfully for more than 40 years.
Although our Harleys have different styles there is one thing in common:
They need gas and oil and not necessarily chrome and show.
How it all began
It all began in the summer of 1983, when Roland, Wolfgang, Johann and Andrea from the Balingen area were on vacation in Sweden with their Harleys. Inspired and impressed by various Swedish motorcycle clubs, from which they had repeatedly been invited and stayed overnight in their clubhouses, one evening they had the idea of founding their own unconventional club.
The basis for our club life should be the enthusiasm for Harley-Davidson motorcycles with their unique engine characteristics and different styles whether chopper, bobber or original, a good friendship and reliable cohesion.
Finally the club was founded in 1983 after a vacation in Sweden, and their shared preference for blues rock and blues music led directly to the club’s name:
Blues Bikers MC
Just a short time after its foundation, the club’s way of doing things attracted more and more like-minded people. The club expanded, particularly between 1983 and 1986, with several chapters in Southern and Northern Germany and a chapter in Northern Italy.
In 1985 Italian Blues Bikers members opened the “Blues Bikers Pub” in Milan which still has a great appeal today – not only for Blues Bikers. In Germany, an old mill belonging to the Balingen and Reutlingen chapters serves as the central clubhouse for regular meetings since 1986.
We go on trips together, attend parties organized by our chapters and friendly clubs, and also enjoy joint activities outside the motorcycle season.
