Endless Riders Motorcycle Club (MC

Most people have a misunderstanding of motorcycle clubs. They are often mistaken for gangs or a menace to the community. In reality, motorcycle clubs are neither dangerous nor a menace. We do like to get together, and have fun, and enjoy a shared love of motorcycles and riding.

The ENDLESS RIDERS Motorcycle Club (MC) came from very humble beginnings.

In mid-2015, we started to build a chapter of a law enforcement club out of Albuquerque. When that fell through on Memorial Day 2015, we took a step back for a month or so, keeping in touch with each other. We had talked about forming our own club; so around Labor Day 2015, we formed the ENDLESS RIDERS MC. In the beginning, we would gather in motel meeting rooms, restaurants, and other public places, until finally ending up in a meeting room at the Manuelito Children’s Home.

Endless Riders started with 10 original members and by December 2015 had a patched club just in time for the Toys 4 Tots Christmas parade. Since then Endless Riders has been involved with several community programs with Jim Smith and the NM Motorcycle Rights Organization (NMMRO), Toys 4 Tots, and Chris and Shelly West of the Navajo Hopi Honor Riders (NHHR). The club helps to organize Toys 4 Tots motorcycle benefit runs and has done so for the past three years. This year’s run helped to serve over 1300 of our community’s children. The MC also participates in other community events such as the Veterans Helping Veterans, Welcome Home Veterans rides, Drunk Driving awareness rides, funeral escorts, flag lines, Patriot Guard services,

and motorcycle awareness programs at the local high schools. The MC also serves the community by helping those in need by organizing poker runs to raise money, community outreach through Gallup Arts Crawl downtown, and through extending our service during hard times like the Lisa Romero Memorial, where we served hot cocoa and coffee to those in attendance.

In the summer, you can always find the club down at Camille’s Cars and Coffee or going out for a ride on a warm sunny day. Our club currently consists of 14 members and continues to grow. Members consist of business owners, government workers, veterans, health care, and other professionals.

One thing that Endless Riders would like to share with the community is Motorcycle Awareness. It is very important that drivers stay aware that motorcyclists share the same road. Over the years, we have had a few riders hit but thankfully survived collisions with vehicles. At the end of the day, it is our prayer that we all make it home to our loved ones.

We are a family-oriented and community-based motorcycle club composed of hard-core riders. If you think you have what it takes, have an event you would like us to help with, or would like more information, please call our MC President, Hammer, at (505) 9064463 or the Vice President, Dragon, at (505) 870-2315.
