About Us
We are a group of men and women who have served our nation in the Marine Corps and Navy. We also all share a love of
motorcycles, riding to our meetings is optional, but preferred. Our club meets at different places throughout the state,
however we try to make the meetings as central as possible. We have had meetings in Springfield, Chicago, Danville,
Peoria, Pekin, Litchfield, Bloomington and Champaign.
We support the VA Hospital, making four trips a year to visit the patients at the Danvill VA. We also attend poker
runs and in February we have a Chilli Cook Off, We help with the Toys for Tots Program and we had a BBQ for the Peoria
reserve unit Before they depolyed to Iraq. We have been involved in many other events, but that should give you an
idea of what we do.
Our bikes are as diverse a group as we are. While Harleys hold the majority there are also members riding Honda's,
Kawasaki's, Yamaha's and Triumph motorcycles. This is not a Harley riders group and you should feel welcome to
join us regardless of your motorcycle's brand or style.
While we have officers for the club, they are elected, no distinctions are made based on the rank you have held
or hold in service.
We are a family friendly organization, our meetings are open for families to bring their children.
For information on where the next meeting will be held and when, or any other
questions you can email me at the link at the bottom of the page..
