as Vice President in 2021. The two-wheeled bug bit me at a young age growing up in the off-road racing capital of the world, San Diego, California. After racing motocross and running the desert in my youth, a typical 20-year riding hiatus occurred while following the Air Force worldwide and raising a family. After returning from Iraq in 2008, I bought my first BMW motorcycle, a 2009 F 800 GS. Since then, several rides have rotated through the stable while pushing closer to 200,000 BMW miles, but my consistent ride has been my 2011 R 1200 GSA.<\/p>\n<p>After years of experiencing everything the MOA had given us, it was time to take the moto passion and give back to the organization and community. So it is with honor and humility that I have the opportunity to serve you and this great organization, to preserve its rich heritage while adapting and growing stronger to support tomorrow\u2019s BMW rider.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0de3b1c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0de3b1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a0ed40 elementor-author-box--layout-image-left elementor-author-box--image-valign-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"9a0ed40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/board.adam_.chandler1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Adam Chandler, Vice President\" loading=\"lazy\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/board.adam_.chandler1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Adam Chandler, Vice President\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAdam Chandler, Vice President\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Adam Chandler is your MOA Vice President and member since 2016.

I graduated from St. John\u2019s Military Academy. I married the love of my life, Rhonnie, and also joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1988. I served in Desert Storm aboard the USS Guam and after leaving the USMC I became a firefighter, rescue diver and EMT.<\/p>\n<p>My life has focused around motorcycles and motorcyclists, which has given me a lot of experience working with a variety of people in various positions. Training and advocating for those that ride is my focus. My wife Rhonnie and I started attending and volunteering at BMW events more than 10 years ago and quickly realized BMW riders are OUR people! In 2023 we were the National Rally RV Chairs.<\/p>\n<p>Since the role of the board is to represent its members, my years of experience as a Marine, firefighter, rescue diver, EMT, deputy sheriff, motor officer, crash team investigator, and crisis negotiator have prepared me well for this position.

Who we associate ourselves with often says a lot aboutus. I joined the BWM MOA to be associated with a group of riders who care about the experience as well as the brand.I\u2019ve been riding motorcycles since I was 16, but didn\u2019t fall in love with BMW\u2019s until 2006 after riding my brothers R1100S BCR (which is now part of my collection). I started volunteering at rallies and eventually became a Regional Coordinator at the suggestion of the various dealerships around the country that I had been visiting while traveling.<\/p>\n<p>Who and what we let into our lives can motivate us to choose certain pathways. My traveling Motorrad memories have been created on the likes of an \u201802 K1200RS, eight R1100\u2019s over the years, a 2007 R1200S and R1200RT, a 1982 R100RS, an \u201805 K1200S and others. Every member of the MOA has a story, and the MOA provides a forum for all of us to live, learn, and share in our passion.<\/p>\n<p>I have been involved with the BMW Motorcycle Owners Club of Minnesota, as a Board member and volunteer. I was recently appointed to the Board of MOA to fill the vacancy of Paul Di Marchi in December of 2022. I am thrilled to join the Board and I look forward to helping the MOA continue to grow and be a successful club, along with it\u2019s Foundation in order to continue promoting safety and training that can enhance our experiences for another 50 years and beyond.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec22a52 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ec22a52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35c4456 elementor-author-box--layout-image-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"35c4456\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/board.doug_.bakke_-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Doug Bakke, Director\" loading=\"lazy\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/board.doug_.bakke_-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Doug Bakke, Director\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDoug Bakke, Director\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I joined the MOA in 2021 and was elected to the Board of Directors in 2024.

Retirement has been great and I\u2019m really excited to be getting more involved in the MOA. I enjoyed traveling with my wife Tami to our second National Rally in Redmond in 2024, covering over 9,000 miles and visiting 17 states over 31 days. We visited family and friends along the way and met so many wonderful folks out on the road. We even recruited some new MOA members while we were at it! We love our BMWs, with my wife owning two (R 1200 GS & F 750 GS) and I\u2019m on an R 1250 GSA. We also have a Ural sidecar, which our two rescue dogs enjoy taking rides in.

I put 400,000 miles on those two K bikes before purchasing my current 2015 R1200GSA. I joined the BMW MOA in 1988 and have missed only four national rallies. I have volunteered in numerous capacities through the years and was appointed as an ambassador in 2010. I co-chaired the 2011 BMW MOA National Rally and in 2012 I acted as President of the Hoosier Beemers Club. I was asked to serve on the BMW MOA Board of Directors in 2019 after Chad Warner stepped down.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers are the life blood of our organization. I have had a great time and met some of my best friends who are like family while volunteering with this organization. I strongly urge you to share your talents and time to help us grow and succeed. We need our members to get involved with their local clubs and with the BMW MOA.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72ac630 elementor-widget
