Empire City Motorcycle Club, Inc.

Empire City Motorcycle Club, Inc. of New York City, was founded by a group of twelve motorcycle riders in October, 1964 as a motorcycle owner/rider club. We are the oldest ongoing gay all riding organization in the country and a vital part of the gay community in New York metropolitan area.

Empire City M/C's open general meetings are held 8pm-9pm on the first Wednesday of each month at "The Centre" 208 W 13th St Room 205, New York, NY 10011. There is no general meeting in February and please note that the July meeting will be one week later (on the 11th) due to Independence Day holiday. All interested men and prospective members are welcome to attend.

ECMC's 2012 Biker Weekend

We're pleased to announce our plans for our 2012 Biker's Weekend! We are restoring the "entire weekend-long event format" this year and we've planned a lot of riding through some beautiful countryside this year! The details...

Friday, June 1st - Bike Blessing/Christening

Empire City M/C will host our annual bike blessing starting at 7pm at Ty's Bar in Greenwich Village, New York City. Everybody is welcome to attend and optionally get their bike blessed! If your bike has never been christened/named, we invite you to get your bike properly christened/named with a keepsake certificate -- we only ask that you register with our Road Captain. Come check out the bikes and bikers! If you're a biker looking for billeting (accommodations) in New York City on Friday night, please contact our Road Captain.

Saturday, June 2nd & Sunday, June 3rd - Bike Run & BBQ

Our annual biker weekend begins Saturday morning with breakfast in New York City. We'll depart from breakfast, ride up some beautiful roads, meeting up with more bikers at our first gasoline stop in New Jersey. Then, it's onward to a free biker lunch at "Honest Eddie Murphy's Tap Room" in Hancock, NY. We'll continue our ride, arriving at "The Ranch" around dinnertime for our annual free biker's BBQ (a steak & chicken dinner). We'll party at The Ranch and spend the night. (Please note: There is limited bed space available at The Ranch, so register early!) On Sunday morning, we'll make you breakfast and take you home through some wonderful twisties in the finger lakes region with a fantastic photo op in Watkins Glen, NY!

You must pre-register for this event! Click here to download your registration form. Register early today to ensure your space is reserved - we have limited space and expect to sell out.

Please note: Although the bike christening/blessing is open to all, the Saturday/Sunday trip is for males only and no four-wheeled vehicles are allowed! This is a motorcycle-only ride!
