The Untouchables Motorcycle Club was founded in the city of Gary, Indiana in the summer of 2000 by Todd “Pac Man” Cliborne and Jeff “The Glide” Matson. After belonging to a larger club, the UMC’s two Founding Fathers decided to hang up their vests and create a smaller, more local club for police officers that ride American-made motorcycles. They took their experiences, both good and bad, and created what would later become the most recognized and respected law enforcement motorcycle club in the world... From the beginning, it was determined that the UMC would be created solely to benefit the widows and children of fallen police officers. To strengthen our existing Brotherhood, and to promote our love of motorcycling and true freedom. The Club's motto quickly became, "Riding for our Brothers that can't." The Club's chosen name "Untouchables" was used to describe Federal Agent Eliot Ness' group of law enforcers that took on mob kingpin, Al Capone, during Chicago's Prohibition era. To this day, the name "Untouchables" signifies strength, unity, and determination under extraordinary circumstances. The Club's Colors are forged in Black and Orange. Other than red, white and blue, these are the colors most closely associated with American-made motorcycles and freedom of the road. The Club's centerpiece features a menacing skull character aptly named, "Eliot". Like his famous namesake, Eliot wears a black Fedora hat, black trench coat, black gloves, and a gold police star to signify that he is a Protector. In his hands, a smoking Thompson sub-machine gun, to ward off evil. After careful planning and preparation, the UMC made its public debut on Labor Day in 2000. Even after numerous requests to start Chapters in other parts of the country, the UMC remained in Indiana until shortly after the terrorist attacks on America on September 11, 2001.
In late 2004, inquires were made about starting a chapter in New Jersey. With the Mother Chapter's approval, the New Jersey Chapter was finally formed in April of 2005 with fourteen original Charter members. The New Jersey Chapter members chose the "Jersey Devil" as their Chapter patch. Following the Club's philosophy, we want quality, not quantity. This is a Brotherhood of active/retired law enforcement officers that is unmatched by any other club.
Today, the Untouchables Motorcycle Club continues to grow and prosper throughout the world. Our expansion and influence in the motorcycling community has no boundaries.
