Since 1967, The Soul Brothers
Motorcycle Club is still riding strong. This organization started with group
of close friends that liked to ride their bikes together. They showed a
united front on other motorcycle sets and even considered joining other
organizations in the Bay Area. Three years later in 1967, this close group
of friends organized The Soul Brothers Motorcycle Club in East Palo Alto
California. Racing was a big part of the club when it was formed. The Soul
Brothers raced anywhere and everywhere where there was a straight road from
the drag strip in Fremont California to the Dumbarton Bridge. Toward the
middle of the year in 1967, The Soul Brothers organization designed a patch
that signified what they stood for…UNITY! Their patch showed everyone that
the color of your skin was not important. What is important is brotherhood
among men regardless of race. This club was making history. In the 1960's
there were far and few racially mixed biker organizations. On Labor Day in
1967, The Soul Brothers Motorcycle Club had their first official bike run
that consisted of 57 members. The 1960's came and went but the Soul Brothers are still here...(to be continued) |
