Empire City Motorcycle Club:
60 Years of Riding & Brotherhood!
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 organisation in the country and a vital part of the gay community in New York metropolitan area.
Empire City MC has two monthly meetings, our "open general meeting" (business meeting) is held 8pm-9pm on the first Wednesday of each month via Zoom teleconference. Join using Zoom teleconference software at by clicking here. We also have a less-formal, social meeting the third Wednesday of each month from 8pm-9pm, which you may join by clicking here.
13th Annual Motorcycle Weekend &
60th Anniversary Week-Long Ride &
Pittsburgh Pride!
Download the run application for our 13th annual motorcycle weekend.
This year the run application and the actual ride itself has dramatically changed because of our 60th anniversary. Following the motorcycle weekend we will be spending a week in Ohio tooling around and checking out sites causing all sorts of chaos in our wake. At the completion of Ohio we'll pop back into the Pittsburgh area spend the night and then ride our motorcycles in the Pittsburgh pride parade on the 1st of June - immediately following the parade we will return to our hosts and load up our bikes and ride to Paris burg to spend the night there at our halfway point hotel. On Sunday we will return to New York City, allowing people on this leg of our journey to split off in their own direction as needed.
We understand that not everybody can take 11 days off to do a trip like this, not to mention this is just the first of two weeklong journeys to celebrate Empire City's 60th anniversary. We've set up this trip so you can inject yourself and remove yourself from various portions of it. It might look a little bit complex to you, but this will make it as flexible as we possibly can for people with different needs.
Of course, this is a motorcycle only event. We may have a support vehicle trailing us to help with luggage. A special shout out our motorcycle brothers in the Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg regions: please reach out to our Road Captain if you're interested in joining us for any of our dinners or rides (this includes being a passenger on the back of a motorcycle!)
