THMC Rises from the Ashes
Thundering Hearts Motorcycle Club was established in 1987 near Parry Sound, Ontario. The name was inspired by the John Mellencamp song of the same name and was fitting, as the clubhouse was in a valley.
“…Ride that Harley-Davidson in the hot summer heat, Lord knows that I just love to ride… …In the valley of the Thundering Hearts”.
Initially we called it a motorcycle ‘enthusiasts’ club mainly because several of our members didn’t actually own a motorcycle, but were there for the comradery and the parties just the same. Over the next few years our official membership grew to about 15.
By 1994 a series of events had come about which caused us to lose the clubhouse and as several members had moved away, sold their bikes or simply lost interest, the club faded into obscurity.
In 2008, several former THMC members acquired new rides and started cruising the highways, heading out for weekly wings and pool, and the Thundering Hearts Motorcycle Club was reborn.
Charity toy rides and poker runs will be a big part of what the club is about. Plans for this year’s annual Spring Bash party include asking guests to bring non-perishable food items that we can donate to the local food bank on behalf of the club. It’s a new start and the beginning of more great times and memories, in the valley of the Thundering Hearts.
