Stockton Motorcycle Club

Established 1924


April 11th 1924 in their fathers machine shop basement, Jake and Pete Bayer along with 22 of their friends started the Stockton Motorcycle Club. In 1941 on property loaned by the Bayers, the clubhouse was built using members money. From 1924 to present, the Stockton Motorcycle Club has been involved in racing, short track, Hillclimbs, Observed Trials, a

nd many other motorcycle related venues. We host the annual High Sierras Overniter, as well as, two well known social rides, The Sonora Pass Ride and The Hare and Hound Run which began in the 1940's and evolved into the Hoot Owl Poker Run. Since 1924, the Stockton Motorcycle Club has supported the betterment and enjoyment of the sport of riding motorcycles.
