The San Francisco Motorcycle Club (SFMC) was founded in San Francisco, California in 1904. It has been in continuous operation since its inception [1]. This makes it the second oldest motorcycle club in the United States, and the oldest west of the Hudson river, preceded only by the Yonkers MC of Yonkers, New York, founded in 1903.

The SFMC has been a member of the American Motorcyclist Association since 1924.

The SFMC is a non-denominational club, which means that members are not limited to riding any particular make or model of motorcycle.
