About the UBM

United Bikers of Maine is a Motorcyclist's Rights Organization that represents ALL motorcyclists, regardless of the brand of motorcycle you ride.

We are many different people who share one common thread, we ride and love motorcycles. Our membership is open to anyone who cares about protecting their rights as a motorcyclists.

UBM stands for ensuring your rights as a motorcyclist by fighting " anti - motorcycle " legislation and promoting " fair " motorcycle legislation.

United Bikers of Maine has been involved in the business of protecting our rights as motorcyclists and helping our communities since we were incorporated in 1975.

In the years since that time our membership has continued to grow. Currently our membership numbers are approximately 2,030 strong, a far cry from the beginning.

Joining UBM, will help us to grow and become stronger, a more - effective motorcyclists rights watchdog.
