Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club Memphis Tennessee

We are a non-profit organization of African Americans who share a common interest in the sport of motorcycling and the study of African American History. We are dedicated to the education of all people within our communities, with special emphasis placed on our children and young adults. We work with school and youth organizations to insure that our American youth know and understand the significant contributions made by African Americans to this country’s rich history.

We ride under the name of the Buffalo Soldiers to express our pride in, and our respect for the many accomplishments they made during the decades following the Civil War. We tell the story of the courageous Buffalo Soldiers and the brave Native American Chiefs and warriors that they fought during the settlement of the American west. We strive to honor this heritage by performing community service that enhances and promotes cultural and ethnic awareness.

National Association of Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Clubs (NABSMC)

In 1993, the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club was founded, in Chicago, by Ken "Dream Maker" Thomas, to socialize men and women who shared similar ideals and the common bond of motorcycling. The name was chosen to uphold and perpetuate the heroic legend of the original Buffalo Soldiers' and the legacy of excellence of the African American soldiers who followed. The Chicago Chapter is now known as the Buffalo Troopers.

Today there are NABSMC chapters in more than half of the states all across the country that subscribe to the Constitution and By-laws of the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Clubs (NABSMC). While members love to ride and take pride in riding safely, they take equal pride in conveying a positive image, especially to youth, in their communities. BSMC's are actively committed to community service and educational programs including supporting senior citizen homes, student scholarships, and food and fund drives for charitable Organizations such as the March of Dimes and Toys for Tots. The club takes a pro-active role in mentoring youth and providing educational programs. Member chapters do not discriminate against race, religion, gender, or ethnic origin.
