Founder - Ken "Dream Maker" Thomas

The history of the National Association of Buffalo  Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Clubs (NABSTMC) began with a dream; in this case,  the dream of Ken 'Dream Maker' Thomas. Believing that it was time to establish a  modern progressive motorcycle club whose focus was to promote a positive image  among Blacks that would be respected in the community and throughout the  country, Thomas founded the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Chicago in  October 1993. The name Buffalo Soldiers was initially selected to pay homage to  and ensure the legacy of African American military contributions in the post  Civil War era. Under the leadership of Ken Thomas, the new club was chartered as  the Buffalo Troopers Motorcycle Club of Chicago.   All the chapters of the  association determine whether they want to be recognized as "Buffalo Soldiers or  Troopers". However, all the member clubs wear the patch designed by the Chicago,  Illinois chapter and subscribe to the NABSTMC rules, regulations, and by-laws.  NABSTMC encourage a positive image and behavior of our members and  affiliates.
