About Us:


History of True Colors Motorcycle Club:

True Colors MC was started in 2001 with 7 members. Dave Naylor Sr. and J.J. Cleary are the founding fathers of TCMC and their goals in starting a new motorcycle club were:

(1) To belong to a club that was run by the membership.
(2) To belong to a club where all members were treated fairly and equally.
(3) To belong to a club where the club itself did not try to financially profit from the membership.
(4) To belong to a club that fostered and encouraged unity, loyalty, honesty and integrity within the membership.
(5) To discourage cliques within the membership.

The motto of our club:

“Remember your true colors are not only worn on your back”, is our Club motto. The meaning of this is that although the members wear common colors on their jackets as a statement of unity, the real measure of club brotherhood is how you treat and respect one another. The name of our Club has this same meaning. Our colors are of Uncle Sam on a motorcycle. This representation is a proclamation by the Club members that loyalty, integrity, unity and honesty will be the basis of our interactions with our fellow True Colors members. One of the first items of business in putting the club together was to get the blessing of the local Hell’s Angels chapter. We met with them twice before they approved our colors and approved of our operating as a motorcycle club in their area. Their stipulation was that all of our members join the AMA and an AMA member patch is visible wherever our patch is worn. Dave and JJ acted as Co-Chairmen until the fall of 2001 at which time the Club had their first election of officers. The membership elected Dave as President and JJ as Vice President. During this time the Club was chartered by the AMA and the Club became incorporated (thus protecting any individual from lawsuits against them on a personal level). Dave served two terms (4 years) as President. Five of the original members are still in the Club. Our membership growth has intentionally been slow. Our goal is to maintain a smaller, close-knit club with no cliques. We have elected not to sponsor a poker run and our financial stability is predicated on dues, a small fundraiser and the monthly 50/50. Although we support other clubs in their charity events we make a real effort to have a lot of TCMC rides. As a Club we have donated to the Montgomery Food Pantry, the Walden Animal Shelter and we visit the Montgomery Nursing Home every Christmas season and distribute gifts to the residents. We also have two club parties a year, our summer party and our Christmas party.
