As a Northville Moose Rider, we have loyalty to our Lodge, our rider group and Mooseheart. The patch on our back pledges this loyalty. The function of the riders is to raise money for Mooseheart and other charities, and of course ride. Unlike some clubs that are purely social, this group actually rides. We usually do 2 to 3 big trips each year (4–7 days duration). We will have some weekend getaways and most likely 2 dinner runs per month. We look for ways to help our community. We are always looking for a reason to get out and ride.

If you are passionate about riding motorcycles and having fun with likeminded folks, this could be the group for you. You are welcome to come in and check us out.  Like most private clubs, you are considered a guest for 3 events.  And then if you feel the group is a good fit for you, join up and take advantage of the benefits of being a Moose Rider. 

The "Moose Rider" group's origins and first use of the name goes back to the Lafferty, OH Lodge 1462 between 1994 and 1996, when several Lodge motorcycle enthusiasts became known as “the Moose riders”. The first official Moose Rider group meeting was held on April 1st of 1996. The Ohio Moose Association Moose Riders held their first “Bike-A-Rama” on August 24, 1996.

Our Northville Riders was originally founded by Bob Bako and was formed in Garden City Michigan in 2007. Bob passed away in 2013, but the Moose Riders of Garden City Lodge #538 continued. The Northville Moose Riders at Lodge #1190 was formed in 2019 by some of same founding members of the original group from Lodge #538. We are grateful to the members and board of the Northville Moose for the opportunity to rebuild a great riding group again.
