The Warthogs (TM) Motorcycle
Club was established on May 8th, 2001 in
Detroit, Michigan. The founding members of this club
consist of active and retired city and federal Law
Enforcement Officers that were formerly members of the Wild
Pigs Motorcycle Club established in California in 1987. Due
to a legal war regarding rights to ownership of the name and
logo by a private enterprise, the National Membership of the
WPMC was forced to disband or become a franchise of R&R
Enterprises. These options led to the division of the
Original Wild Pigs into several different Public Safety
Motorcycle Clubs.
Having reviewed the options
of joining one of the new clubs formed, or beginning with a
fresh new start, the Detroit Chapter of the Original Wild
Pigs concluded that we did not want to be ‘Iron’ and we did
not want to be ‘Pigs’. So a new club was formed. We hold no
grudge or animosity to anyone for the past and would like to
thank R&R Enterprises, because if not for them, we would not
have evolved from pigs to WARTHOGS.
The primary goals in becoming
a Public Safety motorcycle club are to develop a bond
between Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters and Officers
of the court, to assist Officers and Firefighters in time of
need and to assist the orphans and widows of those who lost
their life in the line of duty. |
