Blue Knights XVIII, Ride and Events Page! "Ride With Pride"

Welcome to one of the most extensive California Blue Knights Ride calendars around. We at Blue Knights California XVIII believe that when it comes to the sport of motorcycling its all about the ride. We have gathered various rides listed from various Blue Knights Chapters within the United States as well as community-based rides and fundraisers. I respectfully thank all Blue Knight Chapters and/or Conferences for their available information and contribution to this web page.

Its all about burning gas on the highway and making memories with those who share our hobbies and professions. When you see us on the road or at events don't hesitate to say hello, BK XVIII will see you on the road.

Our Ride and Events Page is constantly being updated, due to the numerous number we attend and to keep the most current listing for our viewers. To view slideshows of some of our past events please visit our Photographs Page.
