LOUISIANA II - the "New Orleans" Chapter
Welcome to the LOUISIANA II Chapter of the BLUE KNIGHTS® International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club. The Blue Knights® are a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement men and women who enjoy riding motorcycles. We are comprised of local law enforcement, State Police, DEA, FBI, Homeland Security, Secret Service, and the U.S. Marshall’s Office, just to name a few of the departments.
The LOUISIANA II Chapter was founded in August of 1990 and it covers the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan Area/River Region which includes Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, Plaquemines Parish, St. Bernard Parish, St. Charles Parish, St. James Parish, St. John the Baptist Parish, and St Tammany Parish.
Our 14 charter members were: Bob Wimpey, Larry Ambramson, John McCoy,
Dan Russell, Ronnie Vidrine, Bob Williams, Richard Ryen, Larry Robert,
Earl Blache, Bob Magaletta, Neil Lomheim, Dan Moeser, Dave Morel and
George "Magoo" Migliore.
Membership is open to active & retired law enforcement motorcycle owner/riders with the sponsorship of an active member. We are an open chapter and allow members' guest(s) and family to participate in rides & events.
