HISTORY AND ORIGIN

The Choir Boys L.E.M.C. originated in Southern California and was conceived on February 17, 1991. The club was founded by Jay Ellsworth and Rocco Shonts, two Police Officers from Vernon Police Department located n Los Angeles County, California. They both enjoyed riding Harley Davidson Motor Cycles and the camaraderie of other Law Enforcement Officers. While participating at a "Support the Troops" Ride that ended at a small biker bar in La Vida Canyon, Brea, California they sat down and started discussing on how they could develop an exclusive Police Officers - Harley Davidson Only club. During their discussion Jay Ellsworth developed and drew the clubs colors on a bar napkin and the clubs name was taken from the 1970's movie "The Choir Boys" which was made from the book "Choir Boys" by LAPD Sgt. Joseph Wambaugh. "Choir Practice" is a term meaning to go out after work and socialize. The rest is history. 

"The Choir Boys Law Enforcement Motorcycle Clubs mission is to promote the sport of motorcycling, to enhance the brotherhood between law enforcement personnel and to support and contribute funds to the widows and children of officers killed in the line of duty".
