I hear you Ron...life gets busy, even for a retired bum like myself. My impression of the BFC though is that it exists as a mechanism to enable Rivendell owners and friends of the marque to support RBW's philanthropy. The only commitment asked of BFC "members" is to spend a few bucks on patches, stickers or apparel. I like seeing that sort of business investment in our larger society, and I am happy to support it.
For a number of years I regularly attended BMW Motorcycle Owners of America camping rallies. A standing feature of BMW MOA rallies is a raffle with the proceeds going to benefit a service agency in the host community. I always made it a standing habit to buy a few tickets, as did the vast majority of attendees. I felt it was a good thing. Maybe this stems from some sort of personal guilt over being privileged enough to indulge my $$$ obsessions - but regardless, the result is still a benefit to the society I live in. I will be proudly displaying my Bicycle Fan Club patch in the map pocket of my handlebar bag and keeping my eye peeled for fellow BFC members.
