FUCK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!Vegas was funThis is my Grangpa driving the Cripps Special. He built the car 100% by himself based off a 30's buick. Anyone seen it?Hello and welcome to the SLC59CLUB. I'm Scott the guy starting this club out here. The 59 Club has a long history in England and I'm starting a club based loosly on there ideas with a few changes for us out here in Salt Lake City. WE ARE NOT A MOTORCYCLE CLUB like some other clubs that have been around for years in the US and we have no intensions to act like we are. The SLC59CLUB is for guys and gals that like English Bikes, Cafe style bikes or just about any bike that is cool. If you have a 2006 Big Dog Chopper or something like that go elseware. We are also into Rat Rods, 50's Kulture, Punk Rock and just plain old great music. After we get a few members our club will meet for local rides, Some group trips to towns such as Vegas, San Diego, Rosarito etc. We welcome families as I have 3 kids of my own. Im looking for guys that like to do there own stuff as you can see I built my Triumph on my own. My current project is somewhere between a bobber and a chopper and most likely will get sold so I can buy a nice car. Nice rusty car. So if you like Bikes, Ratrods, Women, PBR, Good music then this would be a good club for you. If you want to join let me know the rules for new members are loose right now but if you wait..... ~The History of The 59 Club~ The club started originally as a church-sponsored, youth club at the Eaton Mission in Hackney Wick, London, England in 1959. Out of concern for the rise in street hooliganism and being that he was a motorcyclist himself, Father William Shergold decided to hold a church service for motorcyclists in 1962 to give these young English bikers a place to congregate. He finally plucked up the courage and visited the infamous Ace Cafe on the North Circular Road, a popular biker hangout, and handed out leaflets about the service. He had an immense reaction. That following sunday the church was full of leather clad 'Rockers'. Even some of their bikes were brought into the church to be blessed.......... As this had never been heard of before, the press had a field day! A 'bike section' was added to the youth club and was so popular that it literally overtook the club and the premises. Hence The 59 Club as we know it today was born. Father Bill, as he was known, eventually moved to Paddington in North-West London and the club moved with him. Even though the new property was larger, the club was full to bursting every night. Father Bill, Father Graham, Mike 'Cowboy' Cook and a large work force of volunteers were needed to run the club.............. During it's heyday in the 1960's the club boasted upwards of 20,000 members in Europe and England. During the 1970's and 1980's the club profited greatly from the work being done by others in the 'Rocker Reunion Movement', which was a sub-group of members dedicated to upholding the 1960s Rocker music/fashion subculture............. The 59 Club attracted both male and female members, and according to Father Graham, it's success was based on it's almost entire lack of rules. Besides motorcycles and rock and roll music, the club involved itself in other activities such as sponsoring football matches and scuba diving. The overall philosophy was to give underprivileged and troubled youths an alternative to hooliganism and crime. The club did this by supplying an outlet for youthful energy and a place to hangout and stay off the streets. Each year, the club organized ride-outs to famous rallies such as the Dragon Rally in Wales, the Elephant Rally in Germany and to the Isle of Man for the TT Races......... The club is now based in Plaistow, London and meets twice weekly. It remains a registered charity as established in 1965, and has evolved into more than just a Church sponsored, organization for motorcycling youth......... Today, The 59 Club or Fifty Nine Club, is recognized worldwide as a genuine motorcycle club with a rich history and members all over the globe. Unique to this club, and one that sets it apart from others like The Vagos, Hells Angels or The Outlaws, is the fact that members do not consider themselves "ONE PERCENTERS" No Disrespect is meant to these clubs I respect them and in no way do we do ANYTHING to compete or compare to anything these clus do or represent. Once again Respect to these great clubs...... and contrary to what some misinformed have implied about our humble beginings, we are NOT A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION, OR A CHRISTIAN MOTORCYCLE CLUB. We have NO 'CHURCH AGENDA' and are NON-POLITICAL. Our loyalty is to the English or European motorcycles we ride and the music/fashion subculture associated with Rockabilly music, Cafe Racers and 1950's-1960's English Rocker culture. As of 2006, the club had over 29,500 members worldwide, including the United States and keeps close association with the annual Rocker Reunions, The BMF and the Ace Cafe.
