Portland, Oregon - Spring 2008 – ThaSick1 has taken his love of the performance machines and the lifestyle that follows alongside it, and has begun his search for brothers and sisters that also value the commitment to the streetfighter lifestyle. Thus is born STREETFIGHERS MC. Continuing in the original dream of a streetfighter-based MC club, ThaSick1 has laid down a foundation of solidity & brotherhood, along with specific By-Laws and Rules towards prospects and membership.
From the Streetfighters MC Mission Statement:
The STREETFIGHTER MC mission is to build a strong and positive brother and sisterhood of people in the Pacific Northwest who share a passion for the streetfighter lifestyle. Our mission is to project a positive and safety conscious image of riders to the community at large. We are dedicated towards educating the community as a whole to the phenomena of streetfighting motorcycles, the performance that comes with the machine and how to harness it. We are also dedicated to providing community service activities in urban areas and fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie between all communities.
In the summer of 1997, founding father, ThaSick1, came across a British custom motorcycle magazine titled “Streetfighters”. As he perused the magazine, he found himself enamored with the motorcycles in the magazine, beastly machines cut down and stripped of all unnecessary part and fairings, and brought to the peak of their performance value under a smooth slick skin of paint and metal.
This is where it all started. ThaSick1 began to tear apart his motorcycle, a 1981 Suzuki GS550L, and transform it into the beast that he knew it could become and would become. His love of the Streetfighter phenomena had come to fruition. He knew there had to be more than just himself in the Pacific Northwest that had the same fascination of the lifestyle.
He sought people out, far and wide. Soon, he came across a few, but that few grew to many in time. In September 1998, ThaSick1 and a two brothers in Seattle formed a small but tight brotherhood, entitled “The Righteous Jyhad”, the first Pacific Northwest streetfighter-based MC club. This group participated in scheduled rides, but because of the outlaw attitude some of the members possessed, Thasick1 disbanded The Righteous Jyhad after a short 8 month lifespan.
