The BLUE KNIGHTS® INTERNATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MOTORCYCLE CLUB is the oldest and largest law enforcement motorcycle club in the world. Founded in Bangor, Maine in the Spring of 1974 by seven municipal police officers, the Blue Knights has grown to over 20,000 active members and 606 chapters located in 29 countries, representing all facets of sworn law enforcement internationally. Membership in the Blue Knights is open to active and retired full-time and active reserve sworn, governmental, law enforcement officers that ride (any make) motorcycle off-duty.

Make no mistake, WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS. We are (or were) full-time or reserve, police officers, sheriff's deputies, highway patrolmen, federal, state and county law enforcement

agents and investigators that love riding motorcycles. Not just one brand or type of motorcycle, but all kinds from cruisers to sport bikes. You name it, we ride it! We feel that everyone should be free to ride whatever bike they choose, as long as they ride it safely. Law enforcement camaraderie is much more important to us.

The CA VII Chapter was chartered in February 1991 and is the oldest (continuously chartered) WCC Chapter in California. We are also one of the largest chapters in the West Coast Conference. We currently have over 131 members from various Law Enforcement Agencies throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.

The focus of our Chapter is on safe and enjoyable group motorcycle riding.

Motorcycle Safety Foundation.

The CA VII Chapter serves members from Alameda, San Mateo, Contra Costa, Solano, San Francisco and (northern) Santa Clara Counties as well as any other Blue Knights' Members that wish to be affiliated with our Chapter.
