The Ford Motorcycle Club is a group of motorcyclists interested in supporting and encouraging safe and enjoyable motorcycling through regular organised rides and events, rider training courses, sharing motorcycle-related information & rider experiences, and portraying motorcyclists as responsible users of the road.
We typically ride from April through October. Depending on the route, our weekly rides usually begin by meeting between 5:45 - 6:15 pm at the Grand Traverse Pie Company in Plymouth. The specific location and ride details for any given week can be found at fordmotorcycleclub.org/calendar. After a brief announcement from the ride leader about general safety reminders and where we’re going, we line up in staggered formation and depart for a 60-90 minute group ride. We always take the fun way because for us, the journey is the destination.
Other events are also listed at fordmotorcycleclub.org and details are usually communicated through the membership email distribution list. Some of these extra events often include an annual club-provided picnic in the summer, a winter dinner, and training opportunities.
Club members will frequently plan rides and invite others to join on weekend (or even week-long) trips. Some of our recent field trips have included the Rockies of Colorado, the Ozarks of Arkansas, the Natchez Trace Parkway, the Mid-Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route, Route 66, and the twisties of Southeast Ohio.
Our dues are $20.00 annually and you must have a motorcycle endorsement to ride with the group.

The Ford Photo Club is proud to be a long-time member of the Ford Employees Recreation Association. Today, its membership is strong and diverse, with members from all walks of life and at all levels of photographic experience. Directed by its Constitution to enhance its member’s knowledge and enjoyment of photography, the Club offers monthly meetings with focused discussions on matters of composition, exposure, lighting, printing, and whatever else might come up as a topic that would benefit the photographic enthusiast.
With the advances in capability, and reductions in cost, of digital cameras, processing, and printing, the Golden Era of Avocational Photography is clearly, right now. Today’s photographic equipment and methods are better, easier to use and more affordable than ever before, and that fact is bringing lots of new people to explore the art and craft of photography. Today’s Ford Photo Club is strong and robust, welcoming all photographic technology, including the latest digital photo and video, but also vintage cameras, film, Polaroid, and pinhole imaging.
The Club also encourages its members to contribute to their communities. Photo Club members have participated with the Dearborn Animal Shelter, the Komen Foundation Race for the Cure, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Ford Accelerated Action Days, and a number of other community service organizations, as photographers, technical advisors, and as general labor.

The Ford Sea Horses Scuba Diving Club, established in 1957 as a member of the Ford Employees Recreation Association (FERA), is one of the most active dive clubs in Michigan. We are a non-profit corporation dedicated to the enjoyment and advancement of the sport of Scuba Diving.
In 2016, the Ford Sea Horses merged with the Ford Sea Lancers. The new “club” name is “Ford Seahorses and Sea Lancers Scuba Diving Club”. The Lancers were a sister club to the Horses and was established in 1959. The two clubs operated independently until 2016, when they combined memberships and created a common Board of Directors. The merged “Club” is also under the FERA umbrella of clubs.
As a full service dive club, we cater to the diverse needs of the diving community. We dive in a variety of locations from the cold water shipwrecks of the Great Lakes to the warm vibrant waters of the Caribbean. During the spring and summer we also schedule quarry dives to give all members the opportunity to sharpen skills.
The Ford Sea Horses & Sea Lancers Scuba Diving Club (“Club”) offers:
- - A wide range of diving experiences.
- - Opportunity to develop friendships with others in the sport.
- - Take advantage of “mentoring” by our experienced members.
- - Educational programs and advanced training.
- - Substantial savings on the cost of diving.
We travel extensively over the Great Lakes and Caribbean. Locations in the Great Lakes have included Tobermory, Isle Royale, Munising, Whitefish Bay, Mackinac, Traverse City, and Alpena. Frequent Saturday afternoon/evening charters are planned in the historically underwater rich Port Sanilac area. This allows busy divers the opportunity to shipwreck dive and still have time for their families. The “Club” is not restricted to northern waters. Our travels have included the Bahamas, Bonaire, North Carolina, Cozumel, Turks & Caicos, and the West Indies, just to mention a few locations.
The “Club” produces; The Great Lakes Shipwreck Festival, 2017 marks its 36th Anniversary. The Festival brings together film presentations from the Great Lakes region to the far reaches of the
Earth. The Technical room offers presentations from well know expects on a variety of current topics and techniques.
Our monthly meetings are the first Thursday of each month and typically include lectures and films on topics as diverse as safety and travel.
