The Mighty Black Sabbath Motorcycle Club Nation, started on one Honda 305 Scrambler in the hills of a neighborhood called Mount Hope in San Diego, California in 1972. 7 black men who worked at San Diego gas and electric practiced on that 305 until they had their own motorcycles.
In the beginning they gathered at each other's garages on Sundays after church, to ride, tell tales and drink beers. By 1974 their wives revolted and demanded that no more meetings could be held in their garages on any more Sundays. Undaunted the men rented an abandoned bar at 4280 Market street from Mrs. Gardner and named themselves the Black Sabbath MC in February 1974.
Today we are a multi racial 99%er law abiding organization with chapters across the United States from coast to coast. The Mighty Black Sabbath Motorcycle Club Nation does not belong to any governing organization, however we are not a 1%er Outlaw Motorcycle Gang or criminal organization as defined by the United States Department of Justice and have never been accused of being such by any law enforcement agency in the country. We are a brotherhood based on a unified lifestyle centered around riding motorcycles, living the biker lifestyle and embracing one another as extended family as close as any blood relatives.
Our 1-piece patch denotes us as a traditional, family-oriented, law abiding MC to motorcycle club nations on biking sets across the world. Our patch is called the "Turtle Shell" and depicts an African American man dressed in a blue one piece jump suit, astride a "chopped" yellow motorcycle, helmetless - flying an afro in the wind - riding over a black Christian cross, from right to left, on a white background. The patch is surrounded by a shield that gives it the appearance of a tortoise's shell when worn. Our club colors are white, yellow, black and blue. We do not claim territory like dominant 1% outlaw MC nations and therefore wear no state rockers.
Our chapters have been blessed by dominants in every area in which we reside. We are neutral; therefore we wear no support patches. In our 40 plus year history our patch has remained untouched except for the addition of the shield in 1975 and the enlargement of the patch to 16" X 14" in 2009. Our adherence to the original patch mirrors our adherence to the core values of our "Original 7" founding forefathers.
Though a male dominated organization our female social club is called Goddesses of the Black Sabbath MC. Our females who ride motorcycles are known as Sisters of the Cross of the Black Sabbath MC.
We are an elite motorcycle enthusiast riding MC. We welcome all who have the desire for family, brotherhood and unity. To ride in our MC you must:
Our creed is "A Breed Apart." Our mission is to become the greatest motorcycle club in the world.
