Membership Information
(This is from the National CVMA site)
We are an Association of Combat Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. As a registered 501(c)(19) veterans’ charity, our mission is to support and protect those who have defended our country and our freedoms. Our focus is to provide assistance and help to individual veterans, veteran care facilities, other veteran organizations and registered charities. We sponsor and participate in many veteran-related motorcycle (and other) charity events each year, and as a non-profit organization, donate to various veteran causes.
Our membership is comprised of Full Members (those with verified combat service), Supporter Members (those who have non-combat military service and have a strong dedication to helping veterans), and Auxiliary Members (Spouses of both Full and Support members). We have members from all 50 states and numerous countries abroad, including combat areas.
Please note that we are an ASSOCIATION and NOT a MOTORCYCLE CLUB (MC). Although we may be in a geographic area, we do not claim territory. We do not have a club house. We do not wear cuts or colors, but rather vests. The patch on our back is one piece.
Riding Guidelines
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when riding together:
-
Ride in a staggered formation
-
Use proper hand signals ( click here for a link to a guide by the MSF )
-
Be Respectful of other riders and groups
-
If you are uncomfortable riding in a group, please ride at the back of the group
-
Good rule of thumb, if you can see the face of the rider to your left in their mirror, you are at a good distance
If you have any questions, please see one of the Road Captains before the ride starts
