The club's incarnation had begun a few weeks prior, after a night of drinking, partying, and sex.
It did not use the Mattachine Society's "cell structure" developed by Harry Hay to avoid the homosexual/communism witch hunt between 1947 and 1957.
Founding members were: Chapin "Smitty" Smith, Clint "Bud" Olsen, Roy Whitney, Dub Keith, Randy Kinney, Raoul Vasquez and Don Gath.
Many groups "borrowed and copied" the club's bylaws, as they were unsure how to establish themselves after the McCarthyism of the 1950s.
It also sponsors charity fundraising activities, community involvement, and motorcycle-relevant events.
