Just a quick note from Allie and Gary. Zeus our unofficial mascot who rode with me last year on our Grand Tour has taken his last ride and is now a member of Heaven I. We unfortunately had to put him to sleep tonight November 11, 2008 at approximately 7:15 PM. He was a good pet, friend and biker dog at heart. He loved to ride and had approximately 7000 miles under him. Even in his last hours we dressed him and put him on the bike one last time and you could tell his joy by his wagging tale even as he was in tremendous pain inside. He will be missed by his family and the many friends he has made over the road. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Zeus doing what he loved
Joel LaBelle started looking into forming a Chapter, made a few phone calls and invited a few fellow firefighters to get together. We had our first unofficial meeting in October of 2006, and shortly thereafter submitted our application for our Chapter Charter from the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club, Inc. On November 22, 2006, it was granted and RKMC New York Chapter 34 was born.
WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE, WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US!
If you are a firefighter and love to ride motorcycles,
the Red Knights Motorcycle Club might be for you!
Interested? We'd LOVE for you to join us! Stop through one of our meetings, join us on one of our Chapter Rides, or click on our "APPLICATIONS" link at the upper left of our page!

Our Grand Tour/Chapter Benefit Ride is scheduled for Saturday, August 8th. Please, please, PLEASE, if there's any ride for you to reserve on your calender, this would be the one!!!! Proceeds to benefit Fire Prevention Progarms of Clinton and Franklin Counties. It will start at Churubusco VFD, then proceed to Chateaugay VFD, Burke VFD, Constable VFD, Westville VFD, Malone Callfiremen, Paul Smiths VFD, Saranac Lake VFD, Bloomingdale VFD, Saranac VFD, Cadyville VFD, and ending at Morrisonville VFD.

We should plan on leaving Churubusco station at 10:00 sharp to be in Morrisonville by 4:00pm.

make you turn around, but there's been a bad wreck with children dying on the ground.
When you see us coming I hope you'll understand, let us have the right away someone needs our helping hand. Sometimes a child is choking,
sometimes a broken leg, sometimes a heart stops beating and when we get there it's to late.
So, if you see us crying when we think we are alone, you'll know we had a bad one and we're feeling mighty down. We don't do it for the money
you know we don't get paid. We don't do it for the glory, but the life we might have saved.
Somewhere deep within us, our souls are crying out, we're here to help our neighbors in their hour of pain and doubt. God gave us something
special to help us see you through, we do it cause we love you and care about you too.
