A great ride today with the brothers!
A great ride today with the brothers!
Great day for a ride! Mother Charter and Dago and had two brothers from MRMC join us. 21 guys on a ride up to Crystal Lake.
Despite being often stamped as “bad guys,” many outlaw biker clubs support charities, take part in fund-raisers, and are a delight to be around!

Great ride today with brothers from Anaheim, San Pedro, Temecula, San Diego and points in between. Meet up in SD and ride to a brewery in Escondido for lunch.
It was a perfect day in SoCal to meet up with brothers from Los Angeles to San Diego!
The Ruffians volunteered as manual labor at the Los Alamitos Youth Center Christmas Tree Lot as another one of our many community service activities.
Check out the Ruffian’s interview with the Law Abiding Biker podcast here!
The Ruffians are a traditional motorcycle club made up of exclusively of Master Masons. We follow MC protocols, but also adhere to the rules, regulations, and guidelines of the Masonic Grand Lodges we work under. As a non-profit organization, we participate in charitable community service events, support our local masonic lodges and appendant bodies, and raise money for and distribute our own annual masonic youth scholarship.
We strive to promote Freemasonry in the motorcycle community, promote motorcycling among Freemaons, and change some of the misconceptions about both groups within the general public.
The Ruffians Motorcycle Club’s officers and members are from a wide number of lodges in different jurisdictions. and therefore the club does not act as a representative of any local lodges, affiliate bodies, Grand Lodges, or masonry in general.
We ride to lodge, to work, to school, near, far, in the mountains, in the canyons, along the coast, to go get food, drinks, or just for fun. The club rides as a large group monthly after our meetings and in smaller sub-groups as often as possible. The mother charter is in Southern California which affords us ample opportunity to ride year round.
The club is involved in many masonic charities. We work with the Shriners and Scottish Rite, we participate in blue lodge work parties, go on toy rides, and even help run a Christmas tree stand for charity. In addition, our club sponsors an annual scholarship for members of masonic youth groups that are seniors in high school or in their first year of college or trade school . Details about the scholarship are posted on this site. The entries are accepted, reviewed, judged, and winners awarded each spring. To support the scholarship, the club participates in various fundraisers throughout the year as well as selling merchandise and collecting donations (all donations are tax-deductible).
We are a two-fold brotherhood. Brothers first as masons, and then furthermore as Ruffians. You must be at least an Entered Apprentice (1st Degree) mason to prospect with the club and no member will be patched without being a Master Mason (3rd Degree). We consider the club as family and because of this, we do not accept all applicants. The prospect period is intended to make sure that you a good fit into our family.

Just a quick ride to Newport Beach for breakfast with a couple members and a couple plus-ones.
A brother participating in the toy run in Dallas!
The Ruffians (and a few other Masonic clubs) rode to and participated in the retiring and replacing of the US flag at the Long Beach Scottish Rite, followed by significant fellowship at the “Hiram Fellowship Center”.
Some of the Ruffians got a chance to participate in the Rowland Heights “Buckboard Days Parade” this weekend.
And we won first place in the crowd-voted Adult category, beating the Shriner’s at that!!

This was to attend the Widow’s Sons of Baja Mexico being Chartered. Another great south-of-the-border trip!
