Legend has it that this club started out as regular Friday meet-up where cruiser enthusiasts, particularly China-made cruisers, hang-out and share stories. And regular means nothing special or different. But this would change later on as the original crew has visions of things bigger than a “regular” club.
At first, the idea of forming a club 5 years ago did not appeal to the crew for they fear that this may affect the already established camaraderie. For some time, they were contented to simply have a nameless brotherhood. But the growing on-line popularity of this new cruiser group made membership inevitable as many have shown interest to join them. They simply can not ignore this for they feel it would be selfish to limit membership. Still, it was clear to them that there must be process…a process that, as much as possible, remains true to motorcycle club tradition…a tradition that one must earn his membership, his club colors and not just pay for it. This brotherhood is, after all, not a regular riding club.
Finally, the crew decided it was time to give this brotherhood a name. This dynamic motorcycle club requires a good name that would best describe tradition and passion, brotherhood and respect…pinoy style. And, so, on September 13, 2008 the crew finally wore the colors of Alamat Crewsers MC.
Beyond the usual riding, backyard building and biker parties that many perceive on what a club is, we at ACMC go beyond the stereotypes and believes in civic-oriented activities. A testament to this is the club’s recent visit to a Foundation dedicated special child care. This was made even special as the club made an annual commitment to its chosen charitable institution.
Now on its 4th year, Alamat Crewser MC in collaboration w/ KIller Kingkong Productions will have its very first a Bike Night for A Cause. Aptly titled “LEGENDS” – A Gathering Of Bikers For Cause, this modest charity event will be on 14 September 2012 @ Roadhouse Manila Bay. The venue is most ideal as Roadhouse Manila bay is a premiere biker bar. This would be chance for brothers of the wind to give back while enjoying the music and camaraderie. Ticket sales proceeds will be given to The Chosen Children Village Foundation.
We can be legends in our own minds but we can be legends to the those hearts we touch…

The year was 2008. i was tasked by my superiors at ATF to infiltrate a small gang slowly gaining notoriety. The gang, formerly without a name is now being called Alamat Crewsers. I was lucky to be at the right time at the right place. Instantly, I was in. The plan was to gather intel against this organization and shut it down for good.
this would have been one for the books if this was true. But unfortunately, this is just fiction. Alamat Crewsers MC or ACMC as we call it is just an ordinary, traditional, three-patch club made up of ordinary men, with extraordinary love for cruisers, bobbers and choppers. Each bike is unique. A rolling work of art, or in my case, a rolling piece of thrash(but a very reliable piece of thrash). As Billy Lane put it, “one man’s junk is another man’s shift knob.”
2012 starts a new chapter of ACMC as we are venturing into charity work. We have chosen the chosen. The Chosen Children Village Foundation. This coming Sept 14, we will be having an event to raise a little fund to support the foundation. Hope you can join us in this endeavor.
