Motorcycle Club On Joy Road in the 60s

Does anybody remember the name of the Motorcycle Club/Gang that had a clubhouse on Joy Road near Terry [[East of Greenfield)?

I think you're referring to the Zulu's. They're still on Joy Road, they've been there for as long as I can remember, not sure of the cross street though.

softailride Thanks, you are right. I looked them up and they are on the corner of Whitcomb and Joy. I remember that they used to tolerate the neighborhood kids when we would hang out near the front door and try to get a look at what was going on inside. They had a fire or bombing and were closed down for quite a while in the late 60s. Does anyone else know anything about them?

I wonder should I put "burn my old Rav4" in my will before I croak.

Yes, if you don't want anyone else to drive after you die. That's the reason why the bikes are burned,

It makes an awful lot of sense. I feel like pharaoh whenever the idea of death comes around. I want the wife to end her "life" trip at about the same time too, it’s only fair.

It’s an eerie time to remind me of that. We are sitting on a powder keg just about now.

Love my wife more than my car, but I really love that car, so I must really love my wife a lot…
