design of the Yellow Jackets as Buck tells it was to promote the sport of motorcycling in a publicly acceptable way To show it as a good clean sport This group even looked good No denim or black leather jackets No swastikas or and No sir They looked more like policemen than public enemies In their shining yellow satin jackets and trim black slacks They paraded through town in a proud fashion not like a bunch of hoodlums on a careless rampage They rode in formation displaying safe driving skills and road courtesy to onlookers We kept our good Image with those good uniforms Buck who served much of his years With the group as president or road captain recalls today We had regulations regarding safe driving and reasonable conduct while you were on your bike especially while you were in the towns in this area Sometimes the Yellow Jackets were called upon to perform civic duties such as the lime they volunteered their services to hang posters promoting the Lions Club fund raising drive towards the construction of the swimming pool Mostly though the club hosted and attended fun competitions and field meets As Buck tells It the club was basically for the enjoyment of the members I enjoyed riding motorcycles and I enjoyed those competitions I made a lot of good friends in hat club My spare time was involved around the club and the friends I made there That why Buck turned the basement in his Boulevard home into a Yellow Jackets Clubhouse where the group would hold weekly sessions for some 12 years They continued tomeet there long after Buck left the group in 1963 By then 1 had three kids Buck smiles today I really didn have time to ride and I had too many responsibilities to be taking chances All that left now of Buck YellowJacket days are the memories Even In its best
