THE HISTORY OF THE REGULATORS
During the spring of 1994, after months of speculation and talk, 24 Brothers gathered to discuss history…The Regulators’ Motorcycle Club. Prior to this meeting, we made many trips as a group to bike events within the surrounding area, as well as set fire to Atlantic Beach’s main strip with wheelies and burn outs 15 years ago before Bike week became as big as it is now. During those years and up to now we grew up, but as we matured physically, we matured as friends bonding closer with one another. Many of us began hanging out with the older motorcycle clubs. We observed what type of organization they had and made up in our minds this was something we wanted to do.
When we met on that Saturday afternoon at 3:00 pm, we were certain that the legacy would begin that day. In regards to the older clubs around Greenville (Chosen Few M/C, Steel Wheels M/C, Greenville Rattlers M/C) they were great clubs but we had a different vision that was very important to us…a different identity. 24 brothers gathered that day exchanging views on what direction the organization would go. After hours of meeting, it was time to discuss the club name and club colors. Many names were discussed: Kawboy’s, Dog Pound, Buffalo Soldiers, etc., but The Regulators’ was decided on because of many reasons. One reason historically, back in the days of Billy the Kid, the famous outlaw bank and train robber, he rode with a Posse. The Regulators’. In terms of this organization, we do not uphold unlawful acts, but one must respect the respect those men had during that era. They rode the countryside with a mission in mind…and so do we. That day birth our organization. Our colors from day one have been purple, red and black. Our motto “My Brothers’ Keeper”. We elected our first officer and we hit our community hard. Over the past 6 years, our club as continued to be a steadfast rock within our community. The original 24 set the standards that our organization now lives by.
Although many of the original 24 are no longer with us, there names and deeds will never be forgotten…Their blood will forever run purple…. |
