Brief History
The Sudan Motor Patrol is based in Kinston 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 its 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 "RIDES SO THAT CHILDREN CAN WALK". Come ride with us.

The Sudan Motor Patrol would like to thank all the bike riders that came out to our Annual Poker Run on Saturday April 28, 2018. All had a great time and had a total of 45 bikes and 9 passengers. We were down a few bikes from last year but we understand some of our regular riders were out riding to the Outer Banks. But please keep your eyes open and keep and eye on your emails. We are planning a fall ride. We do not have a date set in stone but we will shortly. The winner of the Poker Run was Victor Gonzalez from Kinston, NC. Thanks to Victor for donating his winnings back to the Motor Patrol. Below is a picture of Motor Patrol Captain Jason Cash with Victor Gonzalez.
