    Founded in 1954, the Satyrs Motorcycle Club is the oldest, continuously running gay organization in the world. The men in this motorcycle club were profoundly affected by the two world wars and Stanley Kramer's film, The Wild Ones, which featured a leather-clad icon Marlon Brando. Through archival photos, vintage film footage, and first hand accounts by the men who were there, Original Pride: The Satyrs Motorcycle Club offers a revealing look at the evolution of gay motorcycle club culture and its influence on the larger LGBTQ and modern leather communities.

    If I had of known about the Satyrs Club when I was living in California "Where I as born a raised on the Mojave Desert" I would of joined up. I'm now living in Oklahoma, and they won't except outsiders :( Now if I ever go back to California, I just may try to join because they are some great people.......

    In a sense they do. All lesbian MCs are their spiritual sisters. Many of these men were the fathers of the modern leather/SM/fetish movement among LGBTs.

    I remember reading Frank Butterfield's The Biker Who Got Bumped Off where Howard "Howie" Kirkpatrick met some Bike Riders. It was around 1948 and it took place in Daytona Beach, Fl, and if you were Black, you couldn't live in certain places and the only way you could work in certain places if you had a Working Card.

    At 14:45......112 broken bones in a single accident? Skeptical. In his whole career, Evel Knievel fractured only 35 different bones (some of them, several times on different occasions) in all his accidents combined.

      I don't think they were protected. That'd make it worse. That or some underlying condition. Less padding the more injuries especially how thin he was with no armor or any type.
