Hola,

Club regalia es muy importante. At our first monthly meeting in 2015 I recognised just how importante it is - and now I sit here in Buenos Aires in a BMWMCQ polo having ridden into the city in my sweaty BMWMCQ Ice Tee. Out the front of the hotel are two suspicious motorcycle police on BMW F750GS bikes, I just point at our logo on my shirt and suddenly the barriers are down, and photos are being taken. BMW bueno. Let’s be proud.

Cheers

Duncan
