About the Widows Sons

The Widows Sons Masonic Motorcycle Association Missouri Grand Chapter and it's chartered chapters are an affiliate of the Widows Sons Masonic Motorcycle Riders Assoc., Int'l.  We are a non-brand specific riding association, no matter what motorcycle you ride (minimum 500cc*), you are welcome as a member. We  have three levels of membership.  Active, for those who are members in good standing of a Blue Lodge (F&AM/AF&AM )and ride a motorcycle, Masonic associate membership open to Masons (F&AM/AF&AM) who do not ride but wish to participate in our activities and associate membership open to anyone. All membership is subject to a vote of our active members. 

Our Masonic members are an internationally based group of independent Masons who have joined together to simply share the thrill of riding with other members of our fraternity.  We do not intend to speak for or represent any particular Masonic body. We simply want to share our passion for riding with all other Masons who ride, and have some fun.

We are not a 1% club. We are  a social riding association, which happens to have set one of its membership requirements to include being a Master Mason in good standing. Our name comes from certain aspects of the Masonic fraternity, it is not intended to instill fear or appear threatening in any way.  We are not territorial and do not condone illegal activities by our members. All we ask is that our members act in a way that will reflect well on us, our Fraternity and motorcycling in general.

We have an association patch worn by our active members in the United States comprised various Masonic symbology, the words Widows Sons, state of affiliation, and the name of our local Chapter. We also wear a Square & Compass patch (as we are entitled to do as Masons) to denote our personal fraternal affiliation. This is not a part of our colors; it is simply a common custom among members of our Fraternity to wear this symbol.  Other states chapter members may wear a slightly different patch depending on their local customs, but all use the words 'Widows Sons' and proudly display the Square & Compass.

We strive to be friends and on good terms with all other clubs, associations and riders we share the road with.

We realize that wearing "colors" is a serious matter and wear them appropriately. We understand there are clubs that have been around for many years and we respect that.  We realize we are able to enjoy many of our riding freedoms thanks to the many clubs, associations and riders that have gone this way before us.

Our patches allow other riders to know who we are and where we are from. We wear the name of our Chapter simply to identify where we are from not to claim any territory.  We ask all our members to wear their patch proudly and to always show respect for all other clubs, associations and riders. We do not take sides or involve ourselves when it comes to other club or association politics. We do not claim turf or territory.

Our members are also individually, members of many other motorcycling associations. We come from all walks of life, including public servants and veterans of the Armed Forces.

If any prospective members or others have any questions or would like more information about the Widows Sons we encourage them to contact us.
