The History of Motorcycle Singles Club
MSC began as the
simple idea of meeting with other single riding friends, and has grown to
become a dynamic, ever-evolving community of motorcycle enthusiasts.
Many
miles and much laughter fuels the great energy of this club.
After I bought my 1st Harley, I
really just wanted a way to meet single guys that rode, and to be able to become friends first,
and meet other single riding friends while enjoying something in common...riding motorcycles. So through
flyers, emails, happy hours and a simple website with registration, the word started to spread and people came
to play and ride and have fun every time a ride was held.
It can be described as a singles social event on wheels - a rolling party reinvented each time by the people that get together - everyone there to enjoy the wind and some fun and friendly camaraderie. (2003)
Quite a few of us met through our HOG (Harley Owners
Group) Chapter beginnings...they taught us a great foundation built by being a
part of something; the Harley family of folks from all walks of life, joined
together by the equalizer known to happen when riders connect with other
riders. Harley riders love to get together for riding, gathering folks for fun
events and the kinship of riding in the wind.
You'll see a lot of other brands at Harley events because the events are known
for fun!
Supporting charities helped us grow in our humble beginning as we became part of the community, such as our booth offering massages at the Heart Ride 2003 for the American Heart Association The club continues to be a supportive contributor to those charities that are close to our hearts like the 3-day walk for Breast Cancer Research, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, and CycleVisions Poker Run for Children's Hospital.
When Tony joined, he
brought with him all the creative
fire and drive to lead this community to a new level of structure and fun; and
as 2004 rolled in, a
new era had begun. The
Speed Channel had wanted to do a piece on the club...it was a perfect way to
launch the club on a national level and introduce the new Message Board Forum
that Tony created.
After
he redesigned this Main website to the fiery sexy dark site that it is now,
Tony linked the two together , and the Forum soon developed in to the most fun way for
members to communicate, express themselves, share some fun and silliness, post
their personal profiles and photos, and make plans to ride. As a small part of
Tony's vision of what this club could become, the Forum became the focal
point, the clubhouse where friends would come to meet and laugh our asses off
at the next hilarious thread, or share the latest over motorcycles as we all
grew, changed our rides, made friends, but for the most part just a place to share our
general BS with others and catch a a piece of theirs.

"This club does amazing and wonderful things in people's lives. Lives are enriched and fulfilled here. We've experienced so much life here - so much joy, so many smiles and laughs, many friendships - some broken bones, some scrapes and bruises, and even a death. This club is living and breathing evidence that our lives are enriched, and experiencing amazing things by continuing to forward the energy of this club." Tony Dicenzo, 2005~
Toni and Tony - united as partners to make a great creative team, developed kick ass fun rides, events and this all into one hellava fun place to be. So many good times like the Treasure Hunt Rally, Thunder & Leather Blues Bash, Get Lucky and Ride, picnics, JRK camping, bonfires at the beach, and a whole lotta great riding all over the county.
Tony left the position of Director in
2006 to focus on his next creative adventure; American Harley Rider, the
dynamic reality series of the American Harley riding culture.

He has been missed but his presence will always be here as his design, influence and structure is the foundation that the club still
thrives within today. He is most infamously known for adding the sizzle
in such as the "Sexiest Outfit Contest" ..." Candy...again!" and leaves
us with our favorite quote "It's a free country...so feel free to kiss my
ass!" . Man what a kick ass thing he did here...here comes the mush...huge gratitude and thanks
with much love and appreciation goes to to you , Big Daddy.
A
core group of friends developed through their help and support and shared in
the wild journey of this crazy community. From the very beginning , the best part of this club is the
people that come and go and share a part of themselves along the way, offering
willingness and
support to participate and enjoy the ride, creating good
energy, like family with it's loves, issues and dramas, dreams,
heartaches, and passions. Many good friends have been made here, quite a few loves have matched up
and even a couple of
marriages have happened in Motorcycle Singles Club.
Johnny Roadkill - the human GPS, has shown us all the best roads, best routes and shares his love for fun...what a great contribution his friendship has been. Best in the front of the pack as his mighty machine chews up and spits out anything in his way. Just don't hang too close or you'll be wearing his target when he's done. John continues to develop his "In the Saddle Productions" Videos some of which can be viewed on the Pics/Video page as he captures the fun times and the best of MSCin the most awesome videos. Thank you John... you Rock!!
It's the really all the great people that come through here and touch this place, enjoy the events, fun, and friendship, that continues to make this club what it is today...a kick ass place to have fun, meet people and RIDE!!!
Currently the club is managed by a Board of Directors made up of some of the members that care and participate in the club and keep it thriving as the community leader of fun it has become known to be. It's an ever-evolving organization of a fun way to meet and ride...enjoy!!!
and if you've read this far and all this boring history then you need a life so get on out there, grab a friend or two or three, plan a ride and get some wind therapy. And enjoy the hell out of the ride!!!!!
