Brief History
The Sudan Motor Patrol is based in Kinston, NC at the Lenoir County Shrine Club. It is one of the oldest units in Sudan, formed in 1962 with John K. Ervin of Kinston as it's first Captain. The members perform intricate maneuvers on motorcycles to delight and entertain the crowds. The Motor Patrol participates in SAASMC competition each year. They have one won the Joe Q. Thomas award, which represents the overall high point unit on several occasions. They have also won first place in the SASA parade competition. They routinely ride in parades and perform throughout Sudan land including all Shrine ceremonial parades, SASA, and St. John’s Day. As is the standard for all Shriners, the children are the most important reason for our cause. The Motor Patrol "WE RIDE SO THEY CAN WALK". Come ride with us.

2019
The Sudan Motor Patrol has around 20 active riders and a total of 36 active and honorary members. We meet the second Tuesday of every month. When weather permitting we practice on Sunday afternoon at South Lenoir High School, LCSC or basically anywhere there is plenty of rooms. To become a member of the Sudan Motor Patrol one must be a Shriner, an member of the LCSC, then you must be able to ride a motorcycle. You must attend our monthly meetings and willing to work for free and hard for all the children that can't and that are sick.
