Blue Knights History

Blue Knights® is a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement men and women who enjoy riding motorcycles.  In the spring of 1974, several law enforcement officers from Bangor, Maine met and formed a small, local motorcycle club.  The rest is- as they say- 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 and Chuck Shuman
