Strathgryffe Motorcycle Club Pin Badge

Strathgryffe Motorcycle Club 26 mm tall Cast into the back :- Alpha 0131 553 2184 The Club started in 1974 as a pub idea by Michael Gallacher and Stephen McKenzie, to raise funds to support local road racers. This idea did not last long however, maybe another few pints.., before the aim changed to start a proper motorcycle club in the Renfrewshire area, the nearest established clubs at that time apart from the Vintage Club in Uplawmoor, were the Loch Lomond Club and the Mercury Club in Glasgow. After an initial meeting in the Houston Village Hall with as many local motorcyclists as could be found the Club was formed. The bike logo on the badge was nicked from the Motorcycle Mechanics magazine logo of the early 70's and the badge was originally supposed to be a 50p shape but came back from the manufacturers the wrong shape!..
