Our Family

Presidents Corner

Greetings

As President of this fine club, I hope you are impressed with what we have accomplished. Our first President Super Syd Severe has laid an excellent foundation for us to build on. We are all proud to be members of the Buffalo Soldier Nation. We represent all areas of the Triangle as our members come from five counties within and around the Triangle area. We are not a social club, but much more. We are a motorcycle club first and foremost, keeping the rich history of the Buffalo Soldiers alive. Just like those soldiers that overcame hardships, we will overcome any challenge facing us and our community will be better because of us
