The National Association of Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Club is
unlike any other motorcycle organization in the country. It was created in
Greenville, South Carolina during the 1999 National Bikers Round-up to
consolidate the educational and charitable efforts of many African American
motorcyclists from across the United States. United by a love for the sport of
motorcycling and a common background of military service or uniformed
civilian service, the members of this organization dedicate countless hours of
their time to teaching the history of the Buffalo Soldiers to students and
adults in schools, churches, orphanages, senior citizen facilities and youth
organizations across America.
Brian Bulow, a former President of the Maryland Chapter, and now Vice
President of the NABSTMC saw the Chicago Buffalo Troopers at the Atlanta
Roundup and displayed an interest in starting a chapter. That interest resulted
in the first chapter to wear the “patch” outside of Chicago, Illinois. Soon
afterwards, others showed an interest and started chapters, the next four being
Florida, Delaware, Virginia and New Jersey.
In 1999, the clubs collectively formed the NABSTMC which currently consists
of seventy-three member chapters throughout the United States and
internationally with additional clubs petitioning for membership. All the
chapters of the association determine whether they want to be recognized as
“Buffalo Soldiers or Troopers”. However, all the member clubs wear the patch
designed by the Chicago, Illinois chapter and subscribe to the NABSTMC
rules, regulations, and by-laws.
The NABSTMC is now an active participant in numerous charitable functions
including supporting senior citizen homes, student scholarships and food
and fund drives for charitable organizations, i.e. The March of Dimes and
Toys for Tots. The NABSTMC has also taken the responsibility of mentors to
area youth and educational programs, which share enlightenment of the
heritage that African Americans have played in the United States. We are also
actively involved in recognizing the accomplishments and sacrifices of the
Tuskegee Airmen.
NABSTMC encourage a positive image and behavior of our members and
affiliates. We believe that we are role models and share a responsibility and a
positive value system to our respective communities. The member chapters
do not discriminate against race, religion, gender or ethnic origin. We are an
organization majority comprised of minority members and accept those who
share our values and support our cause. They are proud of the rich history of
the Buffalo Soldiers and enjoy spreading that history wherever they ride.
