| The Untouchables
Motorcycle Club was founded in the City of Gary, Indiana in
the
summer of 2000 by Todd "Pac Man" Cliborne and Jeff "The
Glide" Matson. After
belonging to a larger club, the UMC's two Founding Fathers decided
to hang up
their vests and create a smaller, more local Club for police
officers that ride
American-made motorcycles. They took their experiences, both
good and bad,
and created what would later become the most recognized and respected
law
enforcement motorcycle club in the world. The Untouchables Motorcycle
Club. From
the beginning, it was determined that the UMC would be created
solely to
benefit the widows and children of fallen police officers,
strengthen our existing
Brotherhood, and to promote our love of motorcycling and true
freedom. The
Club's motto quickly became, "Riding for our Brothers
that can't." The
Club's chosen name "Untouchables" was
used to describe Federal Agent
Elliot Ness' group of law enforcers that took on mob kingpin,
Al Capone, during
Chicago's Prohibition-era. To this day, the name "Untouchables" signifies
strength, unity, and determination under extraordinary circumstances. The Club's Colors are forged in Black and Orange. Other than red,
white, and
blue, these are the colors most closely associated with American-made
and
freedom of the road. The
Club's centerpiece features a menacing skull character aptly
named, "Elliot." Like his famous
namesake, Elliot wears a Black Fedora hat, Black trench coat,
Black gloves, and a gold police star to signify that he is
a Protector. In his hands,
a smoking Thompson sub-machine gun, to warn against evil. After careful planning and preparation, the UMC
made its public debut on Labor
Day in 2000. Even after numerous requests to start Chapters
in other parts of the country, the
UMC remained in Indiana until shortly after the attacks on America
on September
11, 2001. It was then that officers from the New York City Police
Department
approached the UMC and applied for a Charter. Shortly thereafter,
the New York
City Chapter of the UMC was formed, and remains today, as a cornerstone
for
growth and prosperity within the Club. In
keeping with the desire to remain "local",
the UMC's bylaws only allow for one
Charter per state. Officers from around the Chartered state
belong to one
centralized Chapter in a designated city. Today, the Untouchables Motorcycle Club continues to grow and prosper
throughout the world. Our expansion and influence in the motorcycling
community
has no boundaries. The Untouchables are here to stay!
Untouchables Forever Forever Untouchables
