To establish and maintain a spirit of comradeship and esprit de corps that will bring together like minded U.S. Coast Guard motorcycle riders, encourage on-going motorcycle rider education and skills development, reduce the potential of motorcycle mishaps through safety standards, set an example for all personnel according to the traditions and customs of the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard Riders are a non-territorial, nationwide group that is broken down into districts and then units to reflect the U.S. Coast Guard structure. We shall operate and conduct ourselves in a manner that provides equal opportunity and treatment for all motorcyclists. We will support U.S. Coast Guard charities, other military related charities, local community causes and local activities.
