In 1947 there was a short article in Life Magazine which detailed the Boozefighter invasion of Hollister, CA which became the inspiration for the movie “The Wild One.” The movie is loosely based on that event on July 4th in 1947 where several Boozefighters, along with many, many other bikers ascended on the town to have fun right beside the local town folk. While the movie did not correctly portray our club it certainly launched a reputation for our club and others, even if it was a dubious one.
