The Green Knights Military Motorcycle Club™ is a 501(c)(3) organization that was formed back in late 1999 and formally recognized in early 2000 at McGuire AFB, New Jersey. It was the idea of Adam Buehler to organize base motorcyclists for activities and to bring awareness to DoD riders and to individuals who do not ride. With the aid of the base MSF instructor, Jeff Richards, they were about to em
bark on a journey that they could have never imagined. The two set out to organize and create a club where riders can get together, discuss issues of the base, fight for biker rights, help each other, participate in charity events, and enjoy going on rides. After gathering up a handful of riders from the base, they were able to form the first chapter of the Green Knights at McGuire AFB, NJ. It was a start of a slowly growing trend that has erupted into not just the Air Force but across the board of the military. Our by-laws, policies, and mentorship outlines have become the basis of the AF current policy to have a motorcycle club on every base. Currently there are 125 chapters world wide in the U.S. AF, Army, Navy at active, reserve, and guard bases. There are even some international allies such as the Royal Air Force, Irish Defense Force, Belgium military, Canadian Forces of Canada, and the Croatian Armed Forces
The club was designed and maintained for all Military and DoD riders. We accept and our members range from active duty, reserve, guard, retirees, dependents, DoD civilians, and their families. Members are just required to ride safe and have fun. The Green Knights work hand and hand with the Wing Safety Office and Security Forces to help riders retain their rights and still follow the regulations set forth by the Federal, State, and local bases regulations. First and foremost the Green Knights stand for SAFETY. Our Safety Director keeps the club updated on Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, and local changes to traffic regulations. The Executive Board also disseminates these changes to non-club members. We fight for motorcyclists rights on base and many chapters have annual Motorcycle Safety/Awareness Rides each spring, to let people know we’re out there (lots of us). The Green Knights do not discriminate against any type of motorcycle, or trike. We always welcome new members. If you are a active or retired military, active or retired DoD Civilian, or Military Contractor motorcycle rider, and would like to learn more about joining the Green Knights, check out the Chapter Locator to locate the Chapter nearest you! The Green Knights Military Motorcycle Club is always looking for active, guard, and reserve bases to join the brotherhood.
