| A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER... |
| I first entered the motorcycle world in 1969. I grew to love it immediately. In 1991, I came to the realization that if I wanted to become the sober man I yearned to be, I needed a 12-step support group to take with me into the world I so loved. I started with an idea in 1991; it took until 1994 until we were awarded the privilege of wearing our patch. That honor was not won easily, nor is it one taken lightly. It was by respect for the age old traditions of the Motorcycle Club world that we accomplished this step of our path. Those traditions are the results of lessons learned and not blocks to freedom. Our road did not end there. We continued to embrace the MC world; we have become respected and are entrusted with many opportunities to be of service. Members have come and gone, for some we have been too much. We have continued to evolve into what is today, the largest Clean and Sober Motorcycle Club in the United States. We are traditional in that we recognize and support the Premier Club where we reside, we prospect our new members, we are not territorial, nor are we 1%-er's, as indicated by our one-piece patch. We are not your typical recovery club in that we do not shoot our wounded nor do we police our member's programs as we participate in the mainstream of the motorcycle club world. |
