My son and I were going cross state last weekend and spent some time following 4 Flaming Knights. I had never heard of this MC so, if you know my sense of humor, the jokes and questions were flying. After getting home, I googled them and read of the club history and purpose. The name came from this FK websight:
"The name FLAMING KNIGHTS came from the way the fellows were promiscuous with the ladies, so since they thought they were hot it was suggest, by their ladies, that they call themselves FLAMING KNIGHTS.
Other names being considered were "The 4 Horsemen" and "Royal Knights".
While I'd not ask ANY MC members about their name, I did wonder if they asked themselves in the 80's whether they had chosen the 'best' name, considering the whole 'flaming' option...
Or maybe it was the bright yellow patch w/red letters and the leapord helmet that set me to wondering about the Flaming Knights.
No disrespect intended for the club, I just have an inquiring mind!
later, Tom.
