The
Capitol City Motorcycle Club was the largest and hottest ticket of the
day. Formed in the mid 30s, the group was involved with
motorcycle races in Dunbar, hill climbs, and general club events like
rides to anywhere just for the fun of it. These werent outlaw
bikers. Most were people with good jobs that simply liked to
ride. They held many dances for instance at the West Side and
South Charleston Women's Club. Maybe your grandfather or
grandmother was a member! If so, let me know and I'll add the
names.
This is a HUGE panoroma of the club taken in Evans
WV. Evans is 3 miles West of Ripley WV. This photo is so
large, that it wasnt possible to present it properly. I had to
resize and resize again just to allow it on my server. This means
that quality was lost from the original photo, but in order to show it
at all, I've broken it down into sections.
First, here is a stripped down version. Click on the photo below to see the larger image.
Below is the image in sections, greatly compressed for space on this web site.
