Welcome to the website for the Ohio Chapter of the Untouchables Motorcycle Club. The UMC was founded by and consists of active and retired law enforcement officers that own and ride American-made motorcycles...No explanation required! We take great pride in the fact that this organization advocates a code of professionalism and ethics that are beyond reproach.
The Untouchables Motorcycle Club was founded in the City of Gary, Indiana in the summer of 2000 by Todd "Pac Man" Cliborne and Jeff "The Glide" Matson. After belonging to a larger club, the UMC's two Founding Fathers decided to hang up their vests and create a smaller, more local Club for police officers that ride American-made motorcycles. They took their experiences, both good and bad, and created what would later become the most recognized and respected law enforcement motorcycle club in the world--The Untouchables Motorcycle Club.
From the beginning, it was determined that the UMC would be created solely to benefit the widows and children of fallen police officers, strengthen our existing Brotherhood, and to promote our love of motorcycling and true freedom. The Club's motto quickly became, "Riding for our Brothers that can't."

“I Am The Highway”
Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night

John dedicated his life to public service and helping those who could not help themselves and never asked for anything in return. His work on behalf of the widows and children of fallen police officers embodied all that is the Untouchables Motorcycle Club.
He loved his family. He loved Chicago. And he loved riding side by side with his Brothers. His Irish eyes were always smiling and that is how he will be remembered by all who had the honor of knowing him.
John leaves behind his wife, Cheryl, and their unborn child.
The entire Untouchables Nation stands with his family and they will forever be part of us.
Ride on Brother. We will meet again someday.
