What is WRMT?
WRMT is an acronym for Winding Road MOTORCYCLE TIMES. Yeah, we know, it’s confusing. We are often called “Winding Roads,” “Winding Times,” or “Winding Road Motorcycles.” It could be worse.
How do we define the Mid-Atlantic region?
Our "Mid-Atlantic region" is the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.), and the states of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. We list events from these states in our “Events Calendar,” much of the magazine’s content pertains to this region, and over 90% of our contributors ride in our region.
When was the first issue of the WRMT published?
Our first issue was published in January 1989.
How can I get a copy of the WRMT?
The MOTORCYCLE TIMES is free from motorcycle shops, clubs, rider training sites, and other motorcycle-friendly venues (taverns, leather shops, paint shops, etc.) in the region we serve. If your local shop does not carry the WRMT, have them contact us and request that we start shipping to them. There is no cost to either businesses or clubs. Individuals can also subscribe to the WRMT.
