Meet the East Bay Dragons, the oldest Black motorcycle club in the West 

What community?

That is a nice bike.

fact. That thing is exquisite.

Sadly all clubs are going through it. Today’s youth can’t handle the responsibilities of being in a real brotherhood.

It’s true people don’t want to prospect, they don’t understand what breaking down the ego is. They would rather join an RC.

be the person you imagine them to be . you can do it .

It's cool. When this club started, they were risking their lives riding Harley-Davidsons. They had to hang together. I'm from Sturgis, SD, I remember see black guys dragged off their bikes and beaten badly. Right on Main Street, and in the city park. Today, a black biker in Sturgis doesn't get a second look. Unless she happens to be an attractive young lady, of course.

Very American Thats the beauty of the merger riding with Sonny and the Hells Angels. Had it not been for segregation and racism that would have never formed .They did some great community activism. You missed the point of this historical club.

@@feraynor205 Something that most outsiders never gave these guys credit for was their taste in bikes and their skills In building them. If you look at Mr Whitfield's Knucklehead that's in this video, that thing is not different than what I would build today. Except today, a Knucklehead engine is $15k or more and out of my league

Well the Hells Angels don’t allow black folks in so what’s the difference.

They still don't allow black members.😢

Kick rocks

They the ones who chose to nor allow blacks,and wear swasikas

You have to know the history of riding custom Harleys in the 60s and 70s. I saw black guys dragged off their bikes, their bikes taken, and them beaten nearly to death. These guys liked each other. They trusted each other. They had to hang together to survive. My friend, a white guy who was an OG in the SoCal chopper scene spoke highly of guys like Sugar Bear and Mr. Whitfield. He respected their courage and their style in custom motorcycles. They couldn't, and can't be Hell's Angels. A white guy can't be a Dragon. But they can meet at an event and get along and that's all that's expected of civilized humans.

he was a researching sickle cell.

they were founded in southern california

Research it’s not hard

Are they black?

I'm pretty sure Oakland started 4-1-1957

Go tell that to Elvis,all your rock n rollers,white jazz and blues singers,and people copying the zoot suit

Ri h ht if it was all white they be all over that .

Read "Soul On Bikes".

WITH THE WHITE BOYS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT...

There is none because they are exclusive black=Racist.
