About The Club
In 1939 the Fresno Motorcycle Club was established by Ed Sumner and Jim & Jerri Riley. The first meetings were held were held weekly, every Tuesday night, at Jim & Jerri’s house on Cherry Avenue south of North Avenue. Some of the original members were Ed & Myrtle Sumner, Jim & Jeri Riley, Jake & Min Jacobson, Locky & Wendy Barringer, Glen & Velma Turner, Walter & Vena Biggers, Glen & Ila Bente, and more.
After WWII, the meetings were held at an old garage on Kings Canyon & Temperence owned by “Square John” – John Chakarian who was a Triumph dealer. The garage had an old wood burning drum-like stove used for heat during the meetings, and they most always had a ride every Sunday. The club was very family oriented and the women held a strong presence in the club at that time.
