German MC El Paso, Tx

A German Motorcycle Club on the territory of stars and stripes? Unusual, sure, but there were no integration problems when our club joined the Biker community of EL PASO. We all like partys and touring and we enjoy many events together with our American Bros and Sis. That īs what the German MC Magazine `Bikers News` wrote about us in their Club portrait….

Now we would like to introduce ourself to the Biker Scene in Germany and the United States
It all started in 1987 When a few motor bike riding soldiers of the German Airforce Air Defense School, located at Fort Bliss, Texas,
decided to ride as a Club instead of a wild bunch.

A blue patch was our first backpatch

The Club members today are 60% German, but there are also a few American members, and hopefully there are more to come. Usually we all stay between eight month to five years in El Paso before the Airforce transfers us back to Europe..
Well, ok some of us got married decided to stay for the rest of their days.In summer 94 we were able to ride out with as much as 30 Bikes. Today we are totally integrated in the El Paso Biker community. There are a lot of great Clubs we have a special relationship to, like the Blue Knights, Desert Air`s, The Vietnam Vets, Del Fuego, Triumph Assc. and all the other great Clubs within the aera, that are not listed here. The complete biker community of the area helped us from the beginning until today

Thanks a lot for your friendship and support over the last 32 years.

In 1996 the independent GMC Alamogordo was founded, this Club was not a chapter.
The GMC Alamogordo New Mexico had its own traditions and its own heart. The GMC El Paso was always in contact with the GMC Alamogordo so that we shared many partys, runs and other events. The GMC Alamogordo today was completely independend, had its own president, and made its own decissions.

2017 the club was no longer existing, because the Luftwaffe decided to close up the unit in the US so, the members of Alamogordo wear the Veterans Patch above the rocker from now on in Germany.

Many bikers from El Paso and the surrounding area looked forward to the traditional German MC Bike Blessing (Motorradweihe) each spring. We decided to bring this traditional German season starter to the El Paso community, to offer a little variety to all the `Toy Runs` everybody already knows. The main events are the jap motor tossing and the rubber boot throwing contest.

By the way: there was nothing less important than what brand the bike is that you ride here.

We also enjoy the Bike Rodeos around El Paso… the point here is to do lots of things while riding the bike very slow like slow race, Winnie bite and other fun stuff. Riding fast is too easy, don`t you agree ?

You will find almost all kind of personalities among the members of the GMC. Beginning with real 1% folk up to a priest we unite em all. There are 20 year old Jap Bikers as well as the 66 year old chopper freak or the mid fourty BMW rider. At this point I would like to thank all the American Bikers or friends we met during our stay in El Paso who helped us wherever they could. Thats one of the things that will never be forgotten by our Bros + Sis already returned home, and this is one of the things that will always be kept in our hearts.

Thank you very much a.k.o.w.a.t.g
