The Albuquerque
Chapter is the first motorycycle club to represent the Buffalo Soldiers State of New Mexico. We may be new to New Mexico as
Buffalo Soldiers on "steel horses", if you know your history you should remember that the original Buffalo
Soldiers roamed this part of the southwest on their "real" horse following the Civil War. It is in their honor
and due respect for their legacy and contribution to this great country that we join other chapters of the National Association
of Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Clubs.
Founded in 1993, the
Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Chicago brought together bikers who shared a love and respect for riding. The name was
chosen to honor the heroic legacy of the original Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry that fought valiently during
the Civil War. Soon after the Chicago
club was formed, others took interest and started chapters in the States of Maryland, Florida, Delaware, Virginia and New
Jersey. Today, 94 chapters strong across the United States (including Hawaii), and international to include Ontario
Canada, the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Club thrives as the largest predominately African
American motorcycle club in the world, One Club, One Patch, One Mindset.
With
a shared understanding of the importance of safe riding, there is the added pride of representing a positive image as role
models to youth in the communities where we live and work. Chapter memberships are open to bikers that support the charitable
and educational commitments of this law abiding non-profit organization that does not discriminate against anyone based upon
their race, religion, age, gender or ethnic origin.
Club memberships include men and women from all walks of life, including veterans and active duty military, professionals,
law enforcement officers and everyday bikers.
