What are the Blue Knights?
The Blue Knights is a fraternal organization of Law Enforcement Officers who share a passion for motorcycle riding. The Blue Knights was formed in 1974 in Bangor Maine and has grown into a large International Organization. The organization has chapters throughout North America, Australia and European Continents. In addition to hosting rides and runs for the enjoyment of members and their families, the Blue Knights are active in fund-raising and the donation of time to benefit charitable organizations. The Blue Knights join Law Enforcement personnel from around the world in promoting motorcycle safety, a positive motorcyclist image and motorcycling as a family recreation.

Enjoy the company of different people who share the common bonds of law enforcement and motorcycling.
There are no strangers in the Blue Knights, only friends you haven't met yet. We treat each other like family everywhere we go.
Being involved in events that raise funds for people (especially kids) that need help and knowing it will go directly to them.
Being a Blue Knight is all this and much more.
Hope to see you at the next meeting.
