The Dragon Riders Club was a historic motorcycle club formed by U.S. military personnel stationed at Ching Chuan Kang (CCK) Air Base in Taichung, Taiwan, during the Vietnam War era.
Context and History
Ching Chuan Kang Air Base: During the Vietnam War, CCK Air Base served as a vital support and logistics hub for the United States Air Force. Thousands of American troops were stationed there throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
The Club: To pass the time and build camaraderie outside of their official duties, servicemen frequently formed social groups, sports teams, and riding clubs. The Dragon Riders Club brought together military personnel who shared a passion for riding motorcycles (such as vintage BSA, Honda, and Yamaha models) while stationed in Taiwan. [1, 2] Collectibility: In recent years, the club has gained attention in vintage clothing and military militaria circles. Rare, custom-embroidered souvenir jackets belonging to former members--featuring patches detailing the club's name, the air base, and popular motorcycle brands of the time--have become highly sought-after collector's items
