It all started on March 12, 2005. Ruby, Now Lata, and Secret were on Cicero in a beauty shop that Now Lata
worked in. At that time Now Lata was our beautician and friend. A motorcycle speeding by the front of the
beauty shop prompted us to start a conversation about riding motorcycles, and that’s how and when
Entyce Ryders was born. We had all type of idea’s floating around and everyone began to feel good about
riding a bike and starting a club. Needless to say, neither one of us owned a motorcycle or even knew how
to operate one. But we talked about going to purchase bikes, and Now Lata suggested we call Chocolate
(Elgin) because he was no stranger to the motorcycle community, and he could give us some direction. So
we put together a meeting. We allowed Chocolate to come in and talk to us about the motorcycle
community and give us some advice and guidance. From that point Entyce Ryders was booming. Chocolate
became a close companion to the Entyce Ryders. We sought his advice on a daily basis. He went with
members to purchase bikes, and assisted us in learning how to ride. Entyce Ryders original members
learned how to ride a bike in one day at Columbus Park. We were excited and we were rapidly growing, and
it was hard for anyone to believe that we had pulled it off and were officially an all female motorcycle club.
Our colors are pink and white, which means feminine power. Last year we added the color black which
represents our stuggle.

Not really understanding the importance and concept of assigning correct titles to correct individuals, we
issued titles according to friendship. Now Lata was the Treasurer, Secret was supposed to be the VP but
she ended up being the Rd. Capt, Ruby ended up being the VP, Kim(100%) was the President. Hot Fudge
was the Secretary. We were well on our way into our lives of the motorcycle community and we were loving
it. One thing Chocolate stressed was that we must all have our bikes by a certain time or we could not be
considered as a bike club. Everyone agreed that we would have our bikes by a certain day, but to our
dismay everyone was not able to purchase a bike for one reason or another. Only a few of the members
were able to deliver, but we were Entyce Ryders and we lived and loved it.
Our very first outing as a club was at the Ladies of Exklusiv anniversary party. That is where we got to
meet a lot of other clubs for the first time and it was quite an experience for us all. We met Ladies First
Ryders and that is when we realized we wanted to be more than just a group of women who rode
motorcycles, we wanted to give back to the community in some way. We wanted to host different charitable
events like the Ladies First Ryders. So we later incorporated community and charity service as apart of
what we stood for.
As we began to learn and see
different things within the
motorcycle community, members
of Entyce Ryders began to
develop different expectations
about which direction our club
should go in, so the inevitable
happened and every founding
member except Ruby, went in a
different direction. Some
members left to join other clubs,
others started a new club, some
members remained loyal, and
Entyce Ryders was at a temporary
hault. The club was on the verge
of dissolving, but with hope and
loyalty of the members who stuck
it out- Entyce Ryders remained a
club. Soon after the change in
the club Ruby became the only
founding member still attached
to the club. She later seeked
advice from Chocolate and DJ
Rell about what to do with the
club, and they both demanded to
keep it and just reassign titles
and move on. Entyce Ryders
went through a major change and
reconstruction. Along side are

generation members of Entyce
Ryders.

They both agreed that Ruby should be the C.E.O of the club, and carry on with the members that already
existed. Ruby later appointed Hot Fudge as the President. Entyce recreated their image, rules as a club,
and despite all the changes Entyce has been through, they are consistent with a mission in mind.
Members have come and gone, but we remain a club built on not only principles but loyalty, commitment,
and dedication. The road has not always been easy, but with commitment and loyalty Entyce has shown the
world that all things are possible. LOOK AT US NOW AND MUCH THANKS TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS. AND
UNDYING LOVE TO OUR ADVISORS THAT HELP MAKE THIS WORK!!!!ENTYCE RYDERS COULD NOT HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!!!
