About The Duke City Rockers

Duke City Rocker's Logo

The Duke City Rockers are an unofficial motorcycle riding club located in Albuquerque New Mexico.

Their primary interests are Café racer style motorcycles and the Rocker culture of the 1950s and 1960s. While many members own and ride vintage motorcycles, all types of motorcycles and riders are welcome to join DCR.

The Duke City Rockers host an annual rally with a Rockers vs. Mods theme. The first four rallies were held in October, and were known as "The Damn October Event" or "TDOE" I thru IV. Their fifth rally will be held in September 2014 and is tentatively being called "Attack of the Café Racers".

There is currently some discussion of chartering DCR as an American Motorcyclist Association Social Riding Club. The Duke City Rockers should not be confused with any Outlaw motorcycle club or "1%" organization.
