Blue Knights History
Blue Knights® Is a non-profit fraternal organization 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 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.
Our Founding Fathers
are: Joel Rudom, Bill Robinson, Doug Miner, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck Shuman
As of 1 June 2009, we have
599 chapters and almost 20,000 members in 29 countries.
