Los Carnales Motorcycle Club

The Los Carnales MC was founded in 1995 by a small group of riders led by Mondel A. D. Martin (Mad Dog), who became its founding president. The Los Carnales MC members slowly grew with the addition of other good members from the law enforcement community who also rode and owned Harley Davidson style American made V-twin motorcycles. Los Carnales members are all active-duty or retired, fully certified, weapon-carrying officers of the law from many jurisdictions. Lawmen with many other City, County, State, and Federal agencies now proudly fly the Colors of the Los Carnales MC. 

The name Los Carnales means “The Brotherhood”. The Los Carnales MC quickly established itself as more than just another “Cop-Club” and attracted a strong group of civilian biker family members and friends who rode with the LCMC on a regular basis. Thus was born La Familia MC, which means ”The Family” of the Los Carnales MC.

La Familia Motorcycle Club

The La Familia Motorcycle Club was founded in 1997, with Charlie “Old Man Charlie” Linton as its founding president. The La Familia MC colors were first flown in Sturgis, North Dakota during the Black Hills Rally. Both Mad Dog and Old Man Charlie have passed on, however the legacy they have left shows they have truly made their mark on this world.

The purpose of this club is to provide Police Officers and their civilian brothers, who are Harley-Davidson (or other V-Twin motorcycles of American origin) owners, the opportunity to associate with each other through organized Club interests and activities and to improve the public image of the sport of motorcycling by our conduct, our activities, and our service to the community. 

The Los Carnales Motorcycle Club was initially established as a club for Law Enforcement Officers only. However, the members have many good non-law enforcement family and friends in the community who share their love of motorcycling and ride with the members in the Club. Therefore, La Familia MC was formed as the civilian arm of the Los Carnales MC. La Familia is one with the Los Carnales MC and is not a separate and autonomous Club.

Let it be known, that this is a Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, joined by our friends and family who like to ride the open road. We will not tolerate anyone who violates the law, nor tries to hide under the protection of our Colors.
The LCLF Nation is well known for its participation in the community and its support and sponsorship of local and national charities. The Nation is, of course, especially visible in its commitment to organizations and benefits
