Back in 2005 when Brother Crash was stationed out in IL from Seattle he brought with him the idea of starting a chapter of the club he had rode with just before he moved. After about a year of getting to know all the riders out in the Cen. IL area Brother Crash got with Brothers Pro, RedRider, B.S., Piglet, Vampire, Gator and Sister GOTU. After all of them got together and worked out the details and got permission from Nation to Probate a chapter in the area they ran with it!
Within the first three months the chapter grew to over ten members and was well on their way to getting the long list of stuff done to charter over as a full patch holding chapter. At the six month mark the chapter was patched over out at Sturgis SD during 2006 Bike week. Brothers Gator and Crash were there to receive the colors for the chapter.
After Cen. IL was patched over as a full chapter they continued to work with the community and grow. But with that growth came some headaches. They lost a few good brothers. But over time those good brothers were replaced with others who really wanted to move the chapter and club as a whole forward. Since the idea of a chapter for the Cen. IL area to now, the chapter has grown to over four times its original size and worked very well with national to progress the club. They have attended well over 20 runs for different causes and held 5 of their own, with many more to come in the future.
