Tyler, TX — The Blue Knights are a worldwide motorcycle club with more than 600 chapters from all over the globe, and  more than 20,000 plus members. This group of retired and active law enforcement officers has gathered here this week in East Texas for their annual international conference. This is the first time Texas has hosted this annual rally.

The conference consists of family activities, riding, relaxing and enjoying Texas sunshine. It starts Tuesdays and ends Friday.

These motorcycle enthusiasts will cruise the towns of Jacksonville and Nacogdoches on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Thursday they will ride down Broadway in Tyler before they rev-up their engines and take off back home Friday.

Be sure to give them a big East Texas welcome if you see them riding by.
