Welcome
Welcome to the new home for the Blue Knights Indiana Chapter 2 on the web.  

The 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 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 Minor, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck Shuman

As of  September 2002, we have over 15,000 members in 450 chapters in 20 countries! 

Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for various charities.  Especially near to our hearts is helping children.  Turnstone, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots,  D.A.R.E., and Concerns of  Police Survivors are some examples of our favorites. 

From September 1, 1991 to July 14, 2002  Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount of  139,694.5 hours,  goods with an estimated value of  $495,581.91  and  $3,229,486.06  in cash (USD). 

We're the good guys!

The Blue Knights is a family fraternity.  Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions.  When traveling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay.  We are truly a family. 

Among the Blue Knight members, 
        "
There are no strangers, only friends you haven't met"

 

For all the history buffs, our Chapter was Chartered on September 3rd 1993. We were the last chapter to assume a previous chapters number. Our Charter members were mostly transfers from Indiana I in Muncie Indiana.

Our 10 charter members were:

A.J. Barile, Joe Householder, Robert Kirby, Bill Michael, John Knoll, Ed Offerman, Sam Quate, Scott Roberts, Mike Vaughn and Kevin Zelt. Of those ten we have retained only 2. A. J. Barile and Scott Roberts
