The first Captain was Johnny Tryan and there were 18 members, which all bought and rode Candy Apple Red 1970 175cc Honda Dreams. They practiced about one month before parade season started and would do double figure eight's. Sometimes the club from Rolla would join them and there would be well over 20 bikes in the figure 8'

They also had a Jannet Model-T and a Checker limo that would lead and follow them in the parade which allowed them to do their drills without worring about the people in front and behind. In 1975 they went to the 12 mini Opal vettes and 10 450 KZ's which were all painted Gold and Silver. My source, (Noble Larry Lurcher) said there were some Harley's but not very many, and they didn't ride in very many parades. They went to Caddies (Don Ripley was Captain then) and only had about 6 that were parade worthy.
