members attend socials at all of the above mentioned places . The oldest member “ Skeet ” is 83 years old . Skeet was not an original founding member but he is the oldest continued member of the club . El Lobo has been a member since 1980 and is the club ’ s Historian . El Lobo has been called upon both locally , and nationally to speak at conferences to explain the history of the African American motorcycle rider . One of the biggest problems of any motorcycle rider is explaining to a non-rider that being a part of a motorcycle club is not the same as being a part of a motorcycle gang . The club is located at 2710 Thalia Street New Orleans , Louisiana and has been there since they moved from the Poydras and Galvez address in 1989 . Since the club house has been there , it has been used by other clubs to hold meeting , parties , socials and get together etc . The club has always supported the community in the local area . Soul Knights before Katrina supported the then William Guste elementary school by donating supplies to the school and sponsoring kids going to camps . Since Katrina the school has been renamed Kipp and the faculty uses the Soul Knights club house once a month to have a social . In the past El Lobo has served off and on for a total of 35 years as President . Other Presidents have included “ Wild Man ” and “ Jo Jo ”, and the now current President is Ernest J . Gabriel III “ Bang Bang ”. The club house is currently going through a full renovation to better serve the future club members and community . Soul Knight members ages range from 24 to 83 , with the two new members being the youngest . Most of the members ride the Honda Goldwing motorcycles but there are no requirements of what type or name of motorcycle that you have to have to become a member , as long as you are a citizen of outstanding morale character . If you want to ride and see this country , come ride with us !
