Hello and thank you for visiting the website of the Chicago IMRG! Our chapter takes pride in hosting numerous rides throughout the riding season, as well as a variety of other activities throughout the year. We are a friendly, family-oriented organization that values camaraderie and fun. We hope you’ll join us and become part of our community!
Welcome to our Motorcycle Community! Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, this group is open to all motorcycle owners and enthusiasts. We invite you to explore our Facebook page and check out our Calendar of Events for exciting meetups, rides, and more. We look forward to you joining us and getting involved with the group!
In addition to our passion for riding and having fun, we are committed to supporting our local community through various events and organizations.

Kirk Palmatier
President of Chicago IMRG Chapter 2022
While our chapter primarily serves the North Chicago area, we warmly welcome riders from the Northwest suburbs and those living near the Wisconsin border. Our broad geographic reach has helped us build a truly diverse membership and we have no strict residency requirements.
We bring together people of different ages, backgrounds, countries of origin, lifestyles, genders, and riding experiences. From casual cruisers to seasoned long-distance riders, every style and personality is valued and respected. Above all, we strive to be a drama-free, inclusive group that leaves politics, religion, and other divisive topics at the door. In their place, we’ve built a genuine sense of family, friendship, and mutual support — not just among our members, but within the wider motorcycle community.
While we ride a variety of makes and models, we hold a special passion for Indian Motorcycles. Friends and family are always welcome to join us as guests at our events, whether as riders or passengers.
Come and Join us on the Third Saturday of every month for our Breakfast meetings.
