Affiliates
The SCMA has associations with affiliate motorcycle clubs and partner organizations that assist with some of our rides.
Affiliates
Board members from the motorcycle clubs listed below attend some board and committee meetings. We share information on upcoming events and participate in each other’s rides and events.
We share the stories of all our events in our newsletter as well as the upcoming events and news with
links to register for rides.
Partners
In addition to our relationship with Felipe Salman from the Mexican endurance riding group below called AMORAK, we also have close associations with the owners at two more partner organizations in Mexico: Oscar Palacio of Playa Bonita Resort and Marco Salgado from Baja ADV Garage. These partners are key to organizing and executing our Three Flags Classic ride that either starts or ends in Mexico. Baja ADV Garage also provides a look into all of the riding available in Mexico and their own calendar of events.
AZRATPACK
The Arizona Rat Pack has been a long-time affiliate with an annual calendar of many events. There are SCMA members who are also members of the AZRATPACK.
The Pasadena Motorcycle Club has also been an associate for many years. They really started in 1907 as indicated by their logo. Their annual Greenhorn Ride is approaching its 80th anniversary. The PMC annual Poker Run in 2025 is the 46th running of the event.
The RedHot Riders Motorcycle Club of San Diego is also an affiliate group from the past currently participating as a Facebook group. It has conducted some of the SCMA local events and some members are also SCMA members.
The Alberta Road Riders Association is a reconstituted very large riding group in Canada. The leaders of this group also provide assistance on the SCMA’s Three Flags Classic ride that starts or finishes in Canada every year.
AMORAK is an endurance riding group in Mexico that creates timed ride challenges of for instance 1600 kilometers in 24 hours. The multiple day events also have hotel arrangements and finish parties.
The Baja ADV Garage is in the upper left corner of Mexico near the US border on the ocean in the Playas community of Tijuana. Marco Salgado is another important resource for local knowledge and volunteers who have assisted with crossing the Mexican border. Marco’s Baja ADV Garage is also a special location to visit and is sometimes used as a starting point for their own rides or AMORAK rides.
