The "Old Coots on Scoots" is a
Historic Sanctioned Chapter of the AMA, Sanction #6911. It was founded in 1947 by George Harris Tucker, for the sole purpose
of just having fun while riding motorcycles with friends. G.H. Tucker rode with the group until his death in 1951. George's
son, Dan, restarted "The Old Coots on Scoots" in 1984 in Santa Rosa, California. Dan passed away in 2011, the organization
is now overseen by his son in law Dave Allen.
There are now 64 active Chapters all over the world, and still growing.
All members are life time members, as once you are an Old Coot you will always be an "OLD COOT".
Rather than a "motorcycle
club", we are a group of mostly older riders, men and women that just enjoy riding; we have no desire for any more rules,
or regulations in our lives. There is no membership committee, there is no electoral body, and there is no special funding
and no requirement to attend any meetings because we don't have meetings, and no mandatory rides. The Old Coots on
Scoots Organization requires safety and courtesy from all members and guests during rides or get togethers. Participation
in any ride or get together is strictly voluntary. Each rider will be responsible for riding his or her own ride. The
Ride Leader or Coordinator will not be responsible for the actions of the members or guests. No rider will
ever be asked to ride in an unsafe manner or do anything unlawful. We only ask that you remember your actions, GOOD
or BAD, reflect on the entire Old Coots on Scoots Organization.
Come ride with us whenever you like, just monitor our schedule of rides on our forum
for ride details.
