The East Bay, CA chapter has been established for the purpose of fostering unity, and bringing together cyclists in the Northern California area for cycling related activities such as mini excursions, club rallies, and other forms of motorcycling fellowship.  We are a non-profit organization of Men and Women, dedicated to the sport of Motorcycling and to the education of all people as it pertains to the African American military contribution in this country's history.  We ride under the name of the "Buffalo Soldiers" to express our pride in and our respect for the many accomplishments they made, during the decades following the civil war.  We hope to instill some of that pride in the minds and hearts of today’s youth and our community.  We believe in our community, and we believe that our representation of Heroes from the past, like the Buffalo Soldiers, will serve to strengthen the values of our community in the future. As a club, we identify and assist various charitable organizations in helping others. We welcome all motorcycle riders to ride with us.
