The Yonkers Motorcycle Club (YMC) was formed in 1903 in Yonkers, New York and is chartered by the American Motorcyclist Association. The YMC claims to be the oldest active motorcycle club in the United States, which is disputed by the Portsmouth Motorcycle Club of Ohio.

“Kicking the heart
with pain’s big boots running up and down
the intestines like a motorcycle racer.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
