They were around the mid west for a number of years as far back as the early 70's KC & St Louis being home turf any more than that can't say .

Forgot about the club until I saw a member wearing his cut while we were on a film location in Philly, a few years ago.

Reading the news report, there are chapters in several states. MC is bigger than I thought.

Has anyone else encountered any of the Soul? Just curious.

Saw about 10 of them riding upstate new York when I was coming back from niagra falls, never met any of them personally.

I wonder that all the time too. The only thing I can assume is they are groupies or some other gay weirdness.

According to Wikipedia, the Wheels of Soul MC was founded in 1967 in the city of Philadelphia, PA.....that's pretty much all the information they list on them....

I'd never heard of them, and thought I was up on such things.

It's getting to the point where they're almost as bad as cops and politicians. You'd think MC's would rather be better than that, eh?
