Membership Process


Recognizing that an entire club can be stigmatized by the inappropriate acts of a single person, all new prospetive members go thru phases such as Hang around, Prospect and Probate. During these phases the individual will learn MC protocol, the expectations of the Club and the MC community. He must demonstrate loyalty and commitment to the Club before being considerd a member of the USMVMC Brotherhood.

The USMVMC is a true three piece patch Motorcycle Club. As an MC, we are both recognized and respected by other MCs locally and nationally.
