The Boozefighters have never been an outlaw club. We believe in respecting the rights of all members of the community and peaceful co-existence with all other Motorcycle Clubs. We believe in FREEDOM OF CHOICE and FREEDOM OF THE ROAD

In 1946 a group of young guys in California fresh out of WW11, formed a motorcycle club called the Boozefighters. "Boozefighter" was a term used in the 1940's to describe a man fighting the bottle, an alcoholic. These guys raced motorcycles and drank a lot of beer. Their girlfriends were called "Boozettes." They generally raised some harmless hell and had a good time. The American Motorcycle Association refused to let them participate in AMA sanctioned races because of the name, so they raced under another name, the "Yellowjackets...all the while keeping the Boozefighters alive."

In 1947 there was a 4th of July ride by all the motorcycle clubs in the Los Angeles basin to Hollister, California. The press reports of that days events said "4000 members of a motorcycle club roared into Hollister for a 3-day convention...Racing their motorcycles down the main street and through traffic lights, they rammed into restaurants and bars, breaking furniture and mirrors..." That's a quote from LIFE Magazine, August 1947.

300/400 people showed up and partied as they had done in previous years. The Boozefighters were the guys spinning donuts and drag racing up and down the street. The street had been blocked off by the town specifically for that purpose. They were the "show-offs" without a doubt. A LIFE reporter staged a photo and put it in the magazine with the above quote. The events that occurred were blown far out of proportion and a legend was born.
