As some of you my have noticed I have been trying to do a feature every Monday on some type of motorcycle organization. Whether it is a club, organization, or association if it deals with motorcycles I am going to try and write about it. Well today’s featured organization is the worlds oldest motorcycle club. Yonkers M.C. got it’s start way back 1903 (didn’t a famous motorcycle get it’s start that year?) from a dude named George Eller who was also their first club president. Now before that they were a bicycle club but they managed to rectify that situation fairly quick when people started putting engines on bicycles. They are charter No. 6 in the A.M.A. and were around before F.I.M. (Federation of International Motorcyclist). During WWII they served as Civil Defense messengers for Yonkers. If you head on over to their site you can check out their history and a whole lot more. They have some vintage shots of early club activity and a lot of newer stuff. If you are in the area in August you can also attend the annual Joe Cool Run.
