Here's another. These were clubs that hung out at the All American Bar, home of the Boozefighters. Anyone with info on these clubs would be appreciated.

Yellow Jackets MC
Hello Jed,
This is a real interesting thread, but no one ever said any more regarding your question on the Yellow Jackets. There is a book called "Motorcycle Jackets" by Rin Tanaka, that has several pictures of early cycle club sweaters, including the Yellow Jackets, Galloping Gooses and others. Unfortunately not much useable historical info is included in this book, but some good photos. Also the owner of several of the sweaters shown in the book has a website, and could possibly provide some more info.

The author, Rin Tanaka, is prolific. He has documented the motorcycle scene with books on T-Shirts, helmets and The Jacket. Type the name into a eBay search. ...billComment

Modesto MC
While looking on David Wassermans superb web site I noticed he had for sale a belt buckle. The Buckle had a skirted Indian motocycle on it with 'Modesto Motorcycle club' in enamel blue and yellow.Comment

I have some of Rin's books. I enjoy them, but $70 bucks for a book is tough to justify. That's money for parts!
He does have a nice collection and access to nicer collections. I'm trying to find some history to go along with the photos. Rin's books are limited on that. One of the Harley collectable books has a nice shot of the "North Los Angeles Motorcycle Club" sweater. It is in Mike Parti's collection. He is a nice guy and a well of knowledge. Let's keep this thread going, I'm enjoying some good conversation that's not too technical for my pea brain
