About Blue Knights

 

A little of the Blue Knights® history...

We are a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law
enforcement men & women who enjoy riding motorcycles.

In the Spring of 1974, Ed Gallant from the Bangor, Maine P.D. and Chuck Shuman
from the Brewer, Maine P.D. met with five other officers from the area and formed a
small, local motorcycle club. The rest, as they say, is history.

Soon, Blue Knight® chapters were being formed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
and beyond. With the addition of Canada, and later Australia, the Blue Knights®
became an international organization.

As of  1 June 2009, we have 599 chapters and almost 20,000 members in 29 countries!

According to the By-Laws,

our purposes and goals are to:  

 

1. Provide for the mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment, education, physical,  mental and  social benefit of its members and the general public. 

 2. To promote and advance the sport of motorcycling and the safety of motorcycling. 

 3. To serve the interests of motorcycle owners and users. 

 4. To promote by example and any other acceptable means, safe use, operation and enjoyment of motorcycles. 

 5. To develop a fraternal spirit between law enforcement personnel and the general public. 

 

 

We're the good guys!

The Blue Knights is a family fraternity.  Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions. 

When travelling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay.  We are truly a family.
