Welcome to USMVMC Tampa Bay "Magnificent No.7"

Chartered in 1998, the Tampa Bay chapter of the USMVMC has a long history of brotherhood. Our members are spread all over the Bay Area, and we meet up multiple times a week to ride out and enjoy ourselves. Bike nights, club events for our club as well as other organizations, poker runs, fundraisers, out of state trips, bars, restaurants (always looking for good eats), laid back places to hang out. Our goal is to have a good time and raise money for our fellow veterans in need when possible.

If you are interested in membership, please reach out to us and come meet us. We highly encourage people to hang around with us long enough to get to know us. We are looking for members who "fit" with us. Just because you qualify doesn't mean membership. Everyone goes through the process no matter where you come from or what you did in the military.

For additional information, please contact the chapter at usmvmctampabay@gmail.com.

The U.S. Military Vets MC was established in 1987 , in  Fort Lauderdale, Florida and is incorporated as a non-profit organization. The club as a national organization strives to achieve the following:  

• To provide a club for qualified male military veterans which offers brotherhood and an opportunity to establish relationships with other military veterans who have served in the defense of the United States of America.
• To establish and support a strong sense of pride in having served in the active military service of the United States of America.
• To improve the image of military veterans and bikers to the general public.. 

Minimum Requirements For Membership

A.  Males having a DD Form 214  and have served 181 days or more in an active duty status. (Reserve and National Guard members can count active duty for training and "summer camps" ).

            Membership Process

The process of becoming a member has two phases "Prospect" and "Probate".

 During the Prospect phase, an individual will go to runs and attend portions of meetings with the club as a guest. This gives the prospect a chance to evaluate his desire to belong to this brotherhood and the club members to evaluate his basic personality and compatibility.

The Probate phase is longer and gives the probate the opportunity to learn the proper conduct of a member in an MC. It affords the patch holders the opportunity to evaluate the probate as an individual they will be proud to label as and depend upon as a brother. During this time the probate is under the direct supervision of an experienced member whenever wearing the club "rockers".
