Dozens of bikers in leather and denim cruised into downtown Suffolk on Saturday atop motorcycles that seemed especially tuned for high-decibel impact. The rumble could be heard from blocks away, even inside, and it was, well, bone-shaking.

Of course, that’s just the effect the Boneshakers Social Club is going for when it rolls into town.

With its membership comprising police officers, attorneys, active-duty and retired servicemen and women and “people from all walks of life,” Boneshakers is no biker gang, says George Bruch, a club member and a prosecutor in the Suffolk Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office.

Bruch helped organize a visit to Suffolk by riders and passengers on 62 motorcycles Saturday in support of a Bikes for Tykes fundraiser that ultimately raised more than $1,400. Riders paid to join the procession and joined up at Baron’s Pub for lunch after parking their bikes in the Godwin Courts Building parking lot.

“I work there across the street,” Bruch said as he described the misconception some folks have about Boneshakers, which he was careful to call a “social club” and not a “motorcycle club.”

“We wear ’99 Percent’ patches,” he said. “We’re the 99 percent (of bikers) that do the right thing, follow the law, etc.”

During the past 10 years, Boneshakers members have raised more than $200,000 to support efforts including Bikes for Tykes, the Cancer Care Foundation, Wounded Warriors and many others, he said.

“We pretty much love everybody,” he added. “We’ve got two rules: Respect everybody. And don’t ride your motorcycle like a (fool).”

Having come to Suffolk from Virginia Beach, the group descended on Baron’s hungry and thirsty.

“We all decided to come to Suffolk, because we represent all of Hampton Roads, and it’s a good ride,” Bruch said.
