About Us
A group of four friends met at Carmody's in 2006 to discuss where their next ride would be. Riding their motorcycle gave these four the sheer enjoyment of riding with friends, experiencing the freedom one feels manuvering their bikes on the curves of the road, feeling the wind in their faces and enjoying the natural surroundings that Vermont roads and the view of the mountains provides. The four friends are: Robyn Andrews, Steve Love, Ed Raetz, and Lissa Stark. Two friends rode Harley's - Steve & Ed, one rode her Suzuki - Lissa, and the fourth friend rode her Triumph Bonneville - Robyn. A Linda Dickinson also at Carmody's that night overheard the group talking about riding their motorcycles and she asked why they didn't think about startingt up a motorycle club. Thus, after brainstorming, the group choose the name Bennington International Motorcycle Club, now known as BIMCVT. The name was chosen to invite any and all who rode motorcycles regardless of the make and model of their bike to become members of BIMCVT. For 7 years BIMCVT rode to benefit for Relay for Life held in Bennington VT. In 2014 BIMCVT Bike Nite and Vets Run - was born and the rest is history. 2017 our event permanently moved its venue to its new location at the Vermont Veterans Home, 325 North Street, Bennington VT.
