Battered Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I joined last night and paid for Professional Membership, the payment has gone through but I have no confirmation of this on my profile or by email. I need a membership number for my insurance company and I can't ride my bike until it's sorted out. Best regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might it have been wiser to have joined the BMF as they are a long recognised club that fight for bikers interests...really this is just a forum http://www.bmf.co.uk/home/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battered Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 It's for classic insurance, if I'm a member of an owners club it's a tad cheaper. Thanks for the speedy reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 This is not an official, actual, proper, endorsed owners club. It is literally just a bunch of riders chatting together online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 23, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2011 To get "a" number. Using Firefox. Log in. Go to the bottom of the home page and it will show you you are online. Hover the mouse over your name and at the bottom left of the screen it will show a link. In this link is a number and this is your unique database membership number. It is not a professional membership number nor anything except how you are referenced on the forum database. It, technically, is your Yamaha Owners Club unique number. I would use it with caution however, what is the difference between any other club and this one (It has club in the title) and you have paid your £10 so can show you are a "Professional" member of the club. If I started a club, got some cheap cards printed and wrote a membership number on it, would this be any different. Just make sure that they are not looking for any affiliations to a "recognised" club like, as mentioned, the BMF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask a member of a Backpatch MC what the difference is between our motorcycle 'club' here and their Motorcycle Club (note capitalisation). 2/. Typically, an official, proper club will have a committee, meetings, accounts, registered addresses, AGMs and all that. This is just an online forum, wherein the £10 supports it's running and admin.
