Frequently asked questions
What is Phoenix 99?
Phoenix 99 is a Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC) founded by two serving police officers—a traffic cop and a detective—who wanted to return to the core values of brotherhood, integrity, and the pure love of riding. We’re about respect, unity, and doing it for the right reasons.
Who can join Phoenix 99?
We welcome serving, former, or retired law enforcement officers, emergency services personnel, and those who serve or have served the Crown in any capacity. If you ride, carry yourself with respect, and believe in loyalty over labels, you’ll fit right in.
Do I need to ride a specific type of bike?
No. We don’t judge your ride—we respect that you ride. All makes and styles are welcome, as long as it’s roadworthy and you ride with purpose.
Are there rules or a hierarchy?
We keep things simple. We’ve stripped away the unnecessary politics and false ranks. There’s structure when it’s needed, but mutual respect is what drives us—not ego or titles.
Are you affiliated with any other motorcycle clubs?
No. Phoenix 99 is an independent UK club, created to represent UK police officers and staff alike. We respect other clubs, but Phoenix 99 was founded to reflect UK policing values and inclusivity.
Do you allow women or LGBTQ+ members?
Absolutely. We welcome and value people of all genders, sexual orientations and backgrounds. If you ride with integrity, you’ll be treated with the same respect as anyone else. Our differences makes us stronger.
What does “Phoenix 99” stand for?
The Phoenix represents rebirth—rising from the ashes of what no longer serves us. “99” is a nod to our roots in the police service, the emergency response code… and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Together, they represent who we are: forged in the job, reborn on the road.
Do I have to wear a patch or colours?
Yes - and we don't expect you to "earn it" and you will not have to endure any "induction ceremony" to get it. All we ask is you attend a minimum of five rides in a year prior to using the cut to show you are joining for the long haul.
How often do you ride out?
As often as life allows — we’re cops, medics, and Crown servants, so shift work and chaos come with the badge. That said, we make the miles count. Expect regular ride-outs, both planned and spontaneous. When the helmets go on, the politics come off.
What kind of rides do you do?
Everything from short blasts and charity runs to longer weekend missions and memorial rides. It’s not about who’s fastest or flashiest — it’s about showing up, riding safe, and backing each other to the end.
Can my family come along?
100%. Phoenix 99 isn't just a club — it's a community. Family days, BBQs, and ride-out pit stops aren’t just welcome to families — they’re designed with them in mind. Whether you're on two wheels or pushing a buggy, you’re one of us.
How do I become a member?
Simple — ride with us. Spend time with the crew, show us who you are, and we’ll do the same. No forms, no flash. If it clicks, you become part of the family.
Will there be a membership fee or plan?
Yes. There is a £60 initial joining fee, which includes your rear and front patch sets. Membership is then £5 per month for the duration of your membership. If you cancel and later rejoin within 12 months, a £30 rejoining fee will apply. If you rejoin after 12 months, the full initial joining fee will apply.
