The Blue Max Motorcycle Club was founded in 1968 as an alternative to L.A.’s gay bar scene—where the LAPD often harassed, entrapped and arrested men—with annual “motorcycle runs” throughout California on various roads and campgrounds. By the late 1970s, 20 gay motorcycle clubs were formed, each with its own distinctive traits and themes. Each club had official and unofficial uniforms, insignias and colors. The Blue Max Motorcycle Club became known for its irreverent references to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Prussia and the Red Baron, and in 1969, the first annual Red Baron Run began.
