Starting a Motorcycle Club (MC) is actually considered an insult to the existing clubs. So first off. I would suggest that you do some research into other MC’s and see if one fits your style. Also see our post on “Why Men Join Motorcycle Clubs”.
There is a hierarchy amongst the clubs and it starts with the dominate 1% MC in your local area. If there is no 1% MC in your local area, keep looking because there is one somewhere in your state. But in respect to the older MC’s and the pioneers of the MC world contact them and they may or may not lead you in the right direction. If they do not help you there are the regular 99% MC’s, which are usually part of a confederation or coalition and they can give the right information needed. After the motorcycle clubs there are Riding Clubs, Sports Clubs and Associations. You may need to do your research and understand the customs of the biker community. We also have a post on “biker terminology” that will start your research.
Things you may need to consider before contacting an MC: The first and main decision an individual needs to decide on is what kind of club they want to make it. The different types of clubs are list above and that does not include starting a 1% club. After your main decision is made and you know what direction you want to take your club, the next step is to make sure they have enough riders (members) to start a club and when I say “enough riders” I mean enough members that ride on a motorcycle. It is easy to start a club and get members but it is another thing to have members that ride. By this time if you are still interested in wanting to start a club the next thing you need to do is create a name and logo. Keeping in mind that you need to make sure there is no existing clubs anywhere with the same club name or logo. Now before you go any further this is the time you find out who the dominate club is in your area and get their consent. They also may have an organization to handle the lesser clubs. If you get this far then you do not need my help anymore.
Remember to be respectful because these guys are the pioneers of our community and if things don’t work out in our favor, stick around and show interest just because they didn’t vote in your favor doesn’t mean no (unless they literally tell you NO!). This might be a test to see how serious you are about the MC. But do not force the issue if things do not go your way. There are hundreds of clubs out here that will fit your needs. You have to remember you are dealing with people who put their club first and live to be a biker. These are things that most people do not understand. So very important!!!!! Do your research!!!! Also find out your local MC gathering nights and get out there and meet people. Networking is key in our community.

Formed in 1967, Hell’s Lovers helped break race barriers. A Harley-Davidson buff that was turned down when he tried to join a motorcycle club in the late 1960s, Frank “Claim-Jumper” Rios started the Hell’s Lovers, one of the first integrated biker organizations in Chicago. “He got to know people across the United States, and he knew the different clubs,” said his son, Demetrius Guyton. “He enjoyed the wide-open road. The fun part of the road trips was hanging with his bros, even with the breakdowns.” Read the rest of this entry »

War Vet ordered to lose vest at airport
REBEKAH CAVANAGH
November 9th, 2009
NOT HAPPY: Vietnam War veteran John Scally says he was forced to take his vest off at Darwin Airport. Picture: JUSTIN SANSON
John “Skully” Scally was outraged and offended when told by officers it was for “security reasons”.
But Mr Scally, 62, who served in Vietnam with the Army, is a member of the friendly NT Chapter Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club and also has a club patch on his vest, and believes he was targeted because of all the recent “hysteria” about bikie gangs across the nation.
“I am a Digger – I’m a grunt,” he said. “I’m not an outlaw. I’m not a bloody crook.
“I was harassed and humiliated all for no reason – it is a disgrace.”
Mr Scally, from Wanguri, in Darwin’s northern suburbs, said he refused to take his vest off at the airport.
He said he was held by security, who used “standover tactics”, for 25 minutes in full view of the public.
“I wear this for the 60,000 servicemen and their families who have done it tough over the years,” he said. “It’s like your wedding ring. When you put it on you are making a commitment.
“We done our time and we earned our stripes. I don’t deserve this.”
Airport chief executive Ian Kew said it was not the vest that security had a problem with.
He said there were “prohibited items” attached to the vest and that once Mr Scally removed them he was allowed to move around the airport.
The prohibited items were some old, inert bullets that had been made into decorative keyrings and were hanging from the side of the jacket.
“There were other things on the vest that were ignored that would be more of a weapon than they were,” Mr Scally said.
Mr Scally said it is not the first time he has been refused entry to a place because of the stereotype that comes with his vest.
He said he has been kicked out of pubs and clubs in Darwin and interstate.
