Formation 

It all started basically with three motorcyclist friends wishing to unite our sport to the pleasure of doing something useful.
In a beautiful sunny afternoon of 2004 Summer, Everton (Manga), Donato Silva and Flavio Domingues (Doido) had the idea of promoting a philanthropic activity towards the Ironbound Ambulance Square.
Based on the support of a few more riders, the three pioneers instituted and formed a bike club, the Indian Knights MC. The name was suggested by Donato, who would later be named as vice president of the club.
Then, they chose a name for the event: 1st. Ambulance & Indian Knights MC Run, with a date set for June 20, 2004.
During the process of organizing the 1st. Ambulance Run, the embryonic IKMC already sketched a great potential for sympathy and power of realization, involving many friends and colleagues, many of those would later join the club.
With the success of the club and community support, other ideas came on and more members were added to the group.
In a short period of time, the Indian Knights MC became legalized as an institution, been formed the first board directors, the appropriate documentation recorded and our first By-Laws being disclosed.
With participation of other club’s promotions and charities in the region, IKMC started been known and well accepted in the middle.
Although the club had many members and sympathizers, it was for a long period most keenly-based only supporting and conducting philanthropic events in the region.
Only in mid-2006 the club pondered the need to open a place where it could offer social activities, been more suitable as a club.
There were only a few months of success until the IKMC had to close its club house, shortening this chapter.
The closing of the doors served as a positive lesson for the IKMC to acquire a more concrete status as a club. The board and members became a sober and solid block, still with dreams, but reality in mind. We had no clout to keep the club house open.
With some turbulence, the well-known and respected Indian Knights MC had his name and achievements exceeding international borders.
In middle of 2009 one of our members, opened an IKMC branch in Curitiba, Brazil.
To keep quality, following our rules, without infringing discriminative patterns, our branch only opened its doors to qualified members.
The IKMC chapter Curitiba, Brazil, with a reduced number of members, continued with exemplary community services equivalent to the work of other more powerful local bike clubs.
With the closing of the headquarters in Newark, NJ, many expenses were to be resolved. Without social activities, many members left the club making it even more difficult to raise funds.
Patiently the remaining members and new members had all expenses accrued liquidated. It was a period of difficulties and transitions.
Even without headquarters, many events were held with the same purpose and motivation already characteristic of the members of IKMC.
The meetings were held in members' homes and especially in restaurants, which made the club even more popular in the community.
A new club house always haunted the IKMC's thoughts, and in November/2011, finally reached the new opportunity!
A new beginning. New ideas. New projects. New achievements. New dreams ...
To be continued ...
