WHAT IS THE

 “OLD COOTS ON SCOOTS”? ? ?

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 Tucker, restarted "The Old Coots on Scoots" in 1984 in Santa Rosa, California.  There are now forty-nine active chapters all over the country, including Canada, and still growing.  In fact, we are now world-wide with the addition of the chapters in Scotland and the Czech Republic.  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”,  it is a group of older riders that just enjoy riding and that don’t need any more rules, or regulations, in their life.  There is no membership committee, there is no electoral body, and there is no special funding or dues.  There is no requirement to attend any meetings or mandatory group rides.  The one thing we do have is a complete lack of organization, and a real desire to ride…  Nothing will be expected of you except to not break the law while wearing the “Old Coots on Scoots” patch.
