Deacons of Deadwood M/C

We are a Motorcycle Club based in Houston, Texas. Contrary to what our name may imply, we are not a religious organization and have no specific spiritual ties. You will find some history here, but we invite you to read more about us in the blogs above.
The Deacons of Deadwood Motorcycle Club was formed by Sam Allen and Ricky Cook in April 2002. The idea for the Club came from the many trips to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally that Sam, Ricky and the original members of the Deacons took with Ricky’s father, the infamous David Cook. Everyone always stayed at the Bullock Hotel in Deadwood, South Dakota, which is about eight miles from Sturgis. The group would take up nearly the whole hotel, and everybody got their rooms through David. He used to joke that there were so many bikers in our group from Houston that we were the “Deacons of Deadwood.”
David was diagnosed with cancer in 2001 and he missed the Rally that year. Sam and Ricky bought him a commemorative brick on Main Street Sturgis that said: “The David Cook Show—Returns in 2002".
David never made it back to Sturgis. After he died in late 2001, Sam and Ricky thought about forming a motorcycle club in David’s memory, and of course, the name would be The Deacons of Deadwood. Sam and Ricky came up with the design for the Club’s colors and other patches and ran their ideas by several of their bike-riding friends, all of whom knew and rode with David. The idea spread quickly, and the Deacons of Deadwood Motorcycle Club was officially formed in April 2002 as a Texas non-profit corporation with about 13 members. The Club now has over 50 members, plus a women’s group we call the Deaconess Chapter.
The Deacons of Deadwood have an official business meeting on the first Thursday of every month. The Club also has informal social meetings on all other Thursdays. In addition to these meetings, the Club has a long ride on the third Saturday of every month. You do not need to be a member of the Club to attend the meetings or go on the rides, and people interested in becoming members are encouraged to come along and get to know us.
