About MFC MC
Who are we?
The MFC MC is NOT an outlaw or 1% motorcycle club.
Because the MFC MC has members that are law enforcement with arrest powers and military officers with security clearances, we maintain the highest standards of conduct. Our Members are held to account for their actions and we actively strive to hold the trust and respect of our communities. Participation in any organization that recruits or maintains members who endorse or promote criminal activity is prohibited by our By Laws.
We are independent, proud, and seek no conflict with other clubs. We support those that support us. We are intensely patriotic Americans who believe in the principles that this country was founded on and the rule of law in America.
The MFC MC is a non-profit organization. We always strive to present a positive image of our Club and the contributions of our members in defending, building and improving our communities. We are veterans, active duty military, law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical services, those who serve in support to those organizations and civilian patriots.
Why was the MFC MC formed?
The two founding members of the MFC MC were formerly members of a club open only to active or retired law enforcement officers who ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles. After several years of turning away potential members because they didn’t meet the strict membership requirements, they decided a new club was needed to fill the void and the MFC MC was born.
The MFC MC has a broader vision and wants to attract members who are or have served the country not only in law enforcement, but also active or retired members of the military and fire/rescue/EMS organizations.
While the Club primarily endorses American made products, members can ride any make of motorcycle they choose, as long as they are cruiser or touring style bikes.
What does MFC stand for and what do the club colors mean?
MFC simply stands for Military-Firefighters-Cops.
At our core, we are a fraternal motorcycle club. Part of a brotherhood that respects and honors those who have served this great country both at home and abroad. Wearing our colors is a rite of passage, a journey that includes earning the respect of our members and the community at large. All Members of the MFC MC are expected to maintain the highest standards of character and integrity as they represent the Club in everything they do. This is at the heart of what that MFC sewn to our vests stands for.
Our Club Colors represent common elements of our member service organizations and the bonds that tie us together as Brothers and Sisters. The center patch contains the Shield, a universal symbol used by the military, law enforcement and firefighters/EMS as an emblem of our service. The Black Slash represents the black banner we all wear on our shields when a Brother or Sister has given their life in the defense of the country and it’s people. The Red Field represents the blood of those who have sacrificed all in the name of freedom. The Lightning Bolts represent the swift and sure response in defense of our Brothers and Sisters in time of need. The Skull is the universal symbol of bikers and it’s prominence represents the common bond of our shared passion for riding motorcycles. The Banner at the base of the shield is written in Latin “Libertas Vel Mors” and states our core belief –“Freedom or Death”
What does the MFC MC do?
Foremost the MFC MC is about the love of riding motorcycles. But unlike solo riding, being part of the MFC MC means enjoying that ride experience with the same brotherhood and camaraderie we have known during our service to the country. Beyond that the MFC MC participates in:
Hosting fund raising events for charity
Club destination rides to special events or locations
Charity rides that benefit or support our service branches or worthy causes
Parades
Funeral Escorts
Member only social events and competitions
Specialized skill and group rider training
Can I join if I am not military, law enforcement or fire rescue?
We also offer membership to persons who have never served, but have demonstrated outstanding citizenship while showing strong support for the MFC MC and its service branches. We call these members Civilian Patriots and we are proud to have them within our ranks.
Finally we offer Associate memberships to those who want to support the MFC MC in its mission, but don’t qualify under one or more provisions of a regular member.
