Upcoming Rides
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUNE 12, 2010 METN COPS RUN
METN C.O.P.S. is in the planning stages of our 5th Annual Memorial Motorcycle Ride.
This ride will be all day, a ride of all rides. We will be riding both Middle and East TN areas.
The ride will kick off in Knoxville, TN, around 10 am and will ride to Chattanooga, TN,
where we will do lunch; then we will leave Chattanooga around 2 or 3 pm and ride to
Mt. Juliet, TN, where we will have dinner, music, etc., and we will be getting one of the
local hotels to block off rooms.
For those riders in the Middle TN area, we will begin the ride in Spring Hill/Columbia, TN, and ride to
Murfreesboro, where we will meet up with the other riders as they come down the interstate.
The ride is open to everyone, not just law enforcement, for public awareness of METN C.O.P.S.,
as well as educating the public on the losses of law enforcement officers and the survivors of
Middle and East Tennessee.
As stated, we are still in the planning stages, so we would like your assistance and/or suggestions/input
in making this ride a, “Ride to Remember.” Help us put the word out about our ride.
METN C.O.P.S. has asked the Blue Knights Chapters of Middle and East TN to assist in the planning;
however, there are other motorcycle clubs that we would appreciate your assistance in planning as well.
If you would like to assist or more information, please contact Trina Scott at 931-801-8587
or e-mail me to tadilworth@yahoo.com.
Other contacts are: David McCoskey, BKTN-III, Knoxville, at 865-360-0003 and
David Stolinsky, Mt. Juliet PD, 615-566-9730.
We will keep you posted of changes, updates, etc.

Blue Knights International Club
Website
The BLUE KNIGHTS® is a non-profit fraternal
organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement men & women who
enjoy riding motorcycles.
In the Spring of 1974, several law
enforcement officers* from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and and formed a
small, local motorcycle club. The rest, as they say, is history.
Soon,
Blue Knight chapters were being formed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and
beyond. With the addition of Canada, and later Australia, the Blue Knights
became an international organization.
*Our Founding Fathers are: Joel
Rudom, Bill Robinson, Doug Miner, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne
Labree, Chuck Shuman
According to the
By-Laws, our purposes and goals are to:
1. Provide for the mutual
assistance, enjoyment, entertainment, education, physical, mental and
social benefit of its members and the general public.
2. To promote and
advance the sport of motorcycling and the safety of motorcycling.
3. To
serve the interests of motorcycle owners and users.
4. To promote by example
and any other acceptable means, safe use, operation and enjoyment of
motorcycles.
5. To develop a fraternal spirit between law enforcement
personnel and the general public.
Many Blue Knights work long and hard
to raise money for various charities. Especially near to our hearts is
helping children. Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots, D.A.R.E.,
and Concerns of Police Survivors are some examples of our favorites.
We're the good
guys!
The Blue Knights is a family fraternity. Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions. When travelling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay. We are truly a family.
