Welcome

Who We Be

The Club was Originally Founded in 1999 by Walter Dean,
Willie Bailey, Darwin Green, and John Michael Walker.
What started as weekend riding and trips to Myrtle Beach
grew with the rebirth of motorcycling. In 2000 the
epidemic of motorcycling grew to a new level and so did
the club. As the first sport bike club with a club house on
the Westside, 5th Gear was on the move and in 2001 the
club came of age. With all things man made, the club
experienced growing pains and the club split in half in
2004. The remaining members rallied with the president
and worked to rebuild the club and in 2005 The 5th Gear
Ridaz were reborn. And so we The 5th Gear Ridaz through
hard work and support from every Bike Club, Motor Sport
Club, Social Club, Car – Truck – Van Club, and Motorcycle
Club proudly celebrated our 8th year in 2007. We thank
The Man Upstairs for making this all possible and for
keeping us safe in the most dangerous recreation that we
all enjoy, we thank our families and we thank all of you.
5th Gear is turning 9, and Ya'll ain't Seen Nothing Yet!!!
