As the story goes and you know about stories...

One sunny afternoon in May 1986 a fellow named Cotton Moore
grabbed a yellow pad, pencil, and chair and went outside and sat
under a shade tree and said “Ya’ll line up and give me 10 bucks
we are starting a motorcycle club.
"

The first person in line was Tommie Holmes and 41 more folks
signed up, YEP a total of 43 charter members and thus the birth
of the Statesville NC HOG chapter #3548.  The first HOG chapter
in the State of North Carolina!  Oh, by the way, 13 of the charter
members are members of the HOG chapter today.
