The TEXAS MOTORCYCLE ROADRIDERS ASSOCIATION (TMRA) was founded in the early 1970’s. TMRA is an Association of Clubs and Individuals whose purpose is to promote and better the image of motorcycling and promote fellowship for motorcycle enthusiasts. For over 40 years we have stood for rights, education, fellowship and communication for Texas riders. Membership in TMRA presents many benefits, our monthly magazine, the Daimler’s folly, the Good Samaritan program, and the supporting merchant program. Additionally, all members are entitled to receive a term life insurance policy of $3,500.00 free of charge. Chartered clubs can list their events in the calendar, and promote them in the Daimler’s folly. There are six geographical areas, each represented by an Area Vice President to ensure that the concerns of all area members are brought to the Board of Directors. The six Area Vice Presidents help make up the Board of Directors along with state level officers; President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Referee.
