Satyrs Motorcycle Club of Los Angeles

Club Description

The Satyrs Motorcycle Club of Los Angeles is the oldest running gay men’s motorcycle club and organization in the world. Formed in 1954 during the height of the McCarthy era, seven men came together, bonded by the love of the motorcycle to form a club. It was not an easy time in America for gay men to congregate with fellow gay men. Homosexuals were deemed as deviants and undesirables in society. Many have come and gone over the years. But like the military men that formed this club in 1954 and like the Marines…”together always” is what the Satyrs family is. It is not something that can be explained but only experienced. Over the years, many people have opined what the Satyrs should do to attract lots of new members. Our goal is not about lots of members, but having the right members be part of our family. It is the reason we are still here 64 years later while many clubs have come and gone. Many clubs try to get the majority of their members to participate, but the Satyrs have always come together to make things happen. No one sits it out watching others to pick up the baton and run. Badger Flat is the ultimate test of our bonds as alpha-males. “All hands on deck” as the saying goes and that just may be the very secret that has kept this club going strong for over six decades. The legacy of the Satyrs is that men are tested here and the bonds of friendship are everlasting. We are a family and we pull for each other, regardless of our differences with each other at any given time…and that is exactly how it should be.
