The Boozefighters Motorcycle Club (BFMC) is a motorcycle club, formed in California just after World War II. Today, the BFMC has chapters across America with its national headquarters located in Ft. Worth, Texas. The first European Chapter was founded in France in 2006. Other international chapters include Okinawa, Japan, Philippines, and South Korea.
[edit] History
The Boozefighters MC was formed in 1946 by veterans fresh out of World World II. "Wino" Willie Forkner (deceased 1997) is recognized by the club to be the founder. The BFMC were at the renowned Hollister incident of July 4, 1947,[citation needed] which was immortalized by the movie The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando.
Their mottoes are, "The Original Wild Ones" and "A drinking club with a motorcycle problem." An article featuring actor Robert Patrick, current president of Boozefighters MC Chapter 101, describes the club as "a nonprofit organization that raises money to help vets, children and the poor".[1]
