Yamaha introduced a full-size touring bike named Venture Royale in 1983. In early
1984 a group of people from the Denver area who purchased the Venture Royales decided to form a motorcycle club.
Ten members owning motorcycles established the club in 1984. Officers were elected and the bylaws were established.
This set up a network of like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts to get together and share information, socialize and
take motorcycle tours.
Since
Yamaha quit making the Venture Royale, members have purchased other
makes of touring, sport touring and cruiser motorcycles. The club has
grown and the diversity of models of motorcycles owned by members has
increased. While some club members still own Venture Royales, we have
Goldwings, Harley Davidsons, BMWs, Valkyries, Triumphs, Voyagers, and
Royal Stars. You will also see trikes and sidecars joining our rides.
The RMVTA ride book comes out in the spring at the March meeting. It
includes day rides and weekend rides throughout the riding season. The
season starts in March and ends in November. Some popular rides include
Yellowstone, Taos, Santa Fe, Crested Butte, Ouray, Black Hills and the
Fall Color Ride though the western slope of Colorado (just to name a
few). In addition, each year we have a Christmas Party, Membership
Appreciation Party, and Progressive Dinner Ride.
