BK MO III at St. Louis Bike & Badge Ride supporting Backstoppers:
Every September, the Dave Mungenast Motorsports family has been a huge supporter of law enforcement for years and has sponsored this ride for a long time. This year, MO III brought support both as members here for the ride and as part of the team providing the excellent motor escort from St. Louis to Bonne Terre. Our own JG won the dance contest! Here’s just a few photos:
The B&B ride had a great turn out this year and a cool new ride route. Many thanks to the Mungenast family. The ride was great and the Mungenast facility in Bonne Terre MO was perfect. They have a great automotive museum at this location. A big thanks from the LE community to the Mungenast family.
BK MO III Hosts the 2023 Blue Knights Fall Midwest Regional Conference Convention:
In September 2023, MO III hosted the fall convention for the BK Midwest Regional Conference. The Blue Knights just had an international convention, and it has been a busy riding season; in spite of all that the attendance was great! There were great rides, great events, great food, awesome raffles….. and most importantly, great bonding with our brothers and sisters from around the region and even other US regions (we even had riders from Arizona). Here are just a few photos from the convention:
April 15 2023 Ride – Historic MO State Penitentiary in Jeff City
We visited one of the most storied and historic penitentiaries in the United States; the former MO State Penitentiary in our capital, Jefferson City. For any BK brothers and sisters visiting the region, we highly recommend a visit to this facility. The history of this facility is incredible. The closure of this prison was not all that long ago; and some of the BK MO III crew actually visited this prison in their official law enforcement capacity (back in the day). Here are just a few photos from the visit:

April 2023 Sunday Ride
Today we took a laid-back route to St. Genevieve MO and had lunch in the first brick building west of the Mississippi River. The day started off just a bit chilly but was perfect most of the ride.
2023 New Year’s Day Polar Bear Ride
The ride was not so polar on Jan 1, 2023. In fact, the riding weather was nearly perfect. After several hours of the twisties in St. Louis County and Franklin County, MO, we had a great time a Rock N Brews in Chesterfield. Happy New Year everyone!

MO III Visits Bourbon Trail – May 2022
The Bourbon Trail in KY is a fun trip. The distilleries and the history of the region is just unbelievable. We stuffed too much into two days; a good adventure really requires three days. Even if you’re not a bourbon fan you’ll love it.
