Club History;

The BLUE KNIGHTS is a non-profit fraternal organisation consisting of active and retired law enforcement men & women who enjoy riding motorcycles.

In the Spring of 1974, several law enforcement officers* from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and 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 organisation.

*Our Founding Fathers are: Joel Rudom, Bill Robinson, Doug Miner, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck Shuman.

As of January 2020, we have 650 chapters and 19,500+ members in 11 Conferences, within 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.

Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for various charities.  Especially near to our hearts is helping children.  Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots,  D.A.R.E., and Concerns of  Police Survivors (Care of Police Survivors - UK) are some examples of our favourites.

Blue Knights have donated over $18.8 million (USD) to charities across the world.

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.
