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 embark 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. Most of all, enjoy the ride and the shared common interest. 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 mentor ship outlines have become the basis of the AF current policy to have a motorcycle club on every base. Currently there are over 130 chapters world wide in the U.S. AF, Army, Navy at active, reserve, and guard bases. Included are the following international allies: Royal Air Force, Irish Defense Force, Belgium military, Canadian Forces of Canada, and the Croatian Armed Forces. Locally to Spangdahlem and the Eifel: The Green Knights Chapter 27 are involved in a number of on base and local community events each year. We support several long distance rides for those who want to get away. This includes our yearly Gathering of the Knights, and the Knights of the Round Table event, which includes our brother clubs the Blue Knights (LE) and the Red Knights (Fire Fighters).
