We are an American Motorcyclist Association chartered club, founded in 1987
by
a group of New Jersey Emergency Medical
Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics.
Our goals are to combine the
concepts of motorcycle fellowship, promote motorcycle safety, and promote a
positive image of motorcycle enthusiasts within the medical
profession and general public.
Our
members, when asked, provide first aid service to other motorcycle clubs at
their events, as well as conducting first aid seminars/lectures, CPR classes
and Motorcycle Injury Management (MIM) seminars. Nationally, the Knights of
Life have presented seminars at the Americade East (Lake George, NY) and
West (Estes Park, Colorado). On the local scene, our members teach CPR
classes to local clubs, March of Dimes Walk-a-thon and other events. The
Knights also assist in the training of emergency medical personnel in the
proper technique of helmet removal. These volunteer public service
activities are in addition to our main goal of promoting a positive image of
motorcycling and motorcycling safety and just having fun.
One of the many benefits of joining this organization is that you will never
have to ride alone. Many of our members work odd schedules (an occupational
hazard of the medical services). Rides are planned at various times, making
mid-week sometimes just as busy as weekends.
Our club is not all work and no play. We have social functions throughout
the year. Barbecues, camping trips, breakfast-lunch and dinner runs, pool
parties, and of course, these are all family outings. Some members just get
together for no specific reason except to ride and enjoy each others’
company. Some members travel and tour. Highlighted trips over the years have
included Canada,
Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Connecticut, Ohio, California, Oregon and the ocean view tour of the Pacific
Northwest.
