I have realized that within our community as black bikers the younger black riders have a tendency to disrespect the more seasoned and knowledgeable bikers on the set. Some think they know every damn thing and just don’t know, they will get their asses served to them on a platter by some us of out here. These videos show the reversal of what you would think might happen. Don’t be too quick to judged or size up someone because of age or race. You don’t know what they might be working with.

I want you to check out these videos. You might want to call the “ambalamce” yes I know I spelled it wrong cause this is what the guy said after getting his natural black ass kicked. He got served a two piece and a biscuit and asked for the ambulance to come for him.

What the hell This is why young bikers on the black motorcycle club set need to be careful running up on older bikers thinking because of age or race they won’t get handled. Slick Pimp kicked his ass. This man is my hero

This man was responsible for the Chopper. Most African American bikers don’t know the Chopper was created by black men. To be correct, black bikers.

I believe it was around the mid 50’s over on Florence Ave., just east of Central Ave., was Benny Hardy’s motorcycle shop; just a few blocks west of the old MC Supply Company. Benny Hardy was one of the few, if not the only, African Americans who was an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer at that time.

Hardy’s customized bikes inspired the chopper, the long bike, and the entire pimp my ride craze. Ben E. Hardy was know as the chopper god and motorcycle titan. For those who’d like to know the shops actual address is 1168 E. Florence in Los Angeles, which is now an auto repair shop.

Bikers aren’t aware that Cliff Vaughs , who is a member of the Hollywood Chapter of the Chosen Few MC, was the man who designed the bikes for Easy Rider and he called on his friend Benny Hardy to help build the bikes . Cliff Vaughs designed all three with direction from Peter Fonda. They never gave these men credit for their outstanding work. You may intermittently hear some credit to Benny Hardy but rarely Cliff Vaughs.

Aside from the obvious racial issues of the time, they were also dealing with the politics of Hollywood, which is a world in and of its own. The truth should be told and I am here to do it. The bike below will show the similarity to the bikes black motorcycle clubs and black bikers road in South Centra LA and Oakland, California.

I salute the black bikers and black motorcycle clubs of the 40’s, 50’s & the 60’s for paving the way for the black bikers and black motorcycle clubs of today!
