Well, there you go then ... I learned something today too! :) Yes, thank-you! I was in the middle of typing my message and I was distracted (someone wanted to ask about joining the Forces! How dare they make me work when I'm trying to talk about bikes and clubs! :) ) and when I came back to it...

As it stands right now, other than the NATO group (which I personally have never heard of before this) there are two major Military Motorcycle clubs in Canada. One is the Defenders, the other is the CAV (Canadian Army Veterans) ... both groups are National, with chapters/units accross the...
