Why am I a Blue Knight®?

I like …

  • the community of different people who not only have the connection by their profession but also share the fun of motorcycling.
  • also the opportunity to meet nice people and make friends in an informal setting
  • “tough” police officers going to disabled or sick children, let them ride their motorcycles or otherwise have fun with them and perhaps have a tear of emotion in their eyes when they say goodbye.
  • the possibility to get informed of activities of the australian chapters by our international club magazoine.
  • handing over business cards as a sign of invitation if you happen to be near a colleague.
  • the german, the european, the international and the familiar sorrounding?
  • the familiar blue coat of arms on  a colleague’s jacket far from home on vacation, on a street, on a campsite, in a youth hostel and you spend nice vacation days together, even though have never seen each other before.
