We stand apart from, yet not against, other motorcycle clubs. Just as the United States Marine Corps supports God, Country and Marine Corps Brotherhood, so too, the Leathernecks Nation Motorcycle Club supports God, Country and Marine Corps Brotherhood. The “Leathernecks” Tun Tavern Chapter Motorcycle Club is not territorial and claims no territory. We have no need of reputation building. We are not a 1% Club. We are not interested in joining, or interfering with, the affairs of others. We desire only to ride our motorcycles in the company of our brothers. We will never seek to violate anyone’s rights and we expect the same courtesy in return.
