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.
In the 80s, Chapters existed in Berlin, Bonn,
Wertheim, Hunsrück and Bad Gundersheim in the
Harz.
In the 90s-00s some more Chapters were founded in
France: Ht-Rhin, Savoie, Isère, and Rhône.
Today there is only the ROUGH RIDERS MC GERMANY
left. All other Chapters were disbanded in the
meantime.
The Rough Riders MC Family attach great importance
to traditions and maintain international contacs
regularly, all the way to the USA.
In 2021 the RR MC Family is celebrating its 45th
anniversary.
