The Club‘s name, Rough Riders MC Family, comes
from the legendary Rough Riders Regiment, an élite
unit, founded in 1898 by Theodore Roosevelt, who
recruited a group of born fighters in the Wild West
and drilled them in a training-camp in San Antonia.
With this Elite Corps, he succeeded the same year in
subjugating the Spanish in Cuba.
The Rough Riders MC Family was established in 1976
in Vienna, from where it moved to Berlin and later on
to Bonn.
Beside Bonn new Chapters were formed in Germany
in the 80‘s, as in Bavaria and Hunsrück.
In the 90‘s, all Chapters, exept Bonn, were dissolved,
but at the same time, new Chapters were formed in
France.
The Rough Riders MC Family attach great importance
to traditions and maintain international contacs
regularly, all the way to the USA.
In 2016 the RR MC Family celebtrated its 40th
anniversary.
