| ARMADILLOS HISTORY: THE ARMADILLO CYCLE CLUB WAS FOUNDED BY BROOKS JOHNSON AND CHARLIE WALKER IN THE SUMMER OF 1982 IN CLEBURNE, TEXAS. DURING THE TIME WHEN BOBBY JOHNSON(CFM),BROOK'S SON WAS IN THAILAND. BOBBY CAME ACROSS A T-SHIRT THAT HAD A PICTURE OF TWO BUZZARDS LOOKIN DOWN AT A BATTLEFIELD. BOBBY DECIDED TURN THE PICTURE INTO A PATCH AND MAILED IT TO HIS FATHER,BROOKS. BROOKS THEN SEWED THE PATCH ONTO A VEST AND SPORTED IT AROUND,OTHER MEMBERS BOUGHT THE T-SHIRT THAT INSPIRED THE PATCH AND CUT THE BUZZARDS OUT AND SEWED THEM ONTO VESTS. ONCE ALL THEIR DUCKS WERE IN A ROW .RED ROOSTER SUGGESTED THAT THEY USE AN ARMADILLO,AFTER SEEING A GIANT ARMADILLO USED IN THE SUPER BOWL,PLUS IT WOULD BE EASIER TO FIND ARMADILLO MEMORABILIA THAN IT WOULD BE TO FIND BUZZARDS. SO IT WAS THEN PUT TO VOTE AND WINNING BY ONLY ONE VOTE WE BECAME THE "ARMADILLOS." WRITTEN BY: ARMADILLO "HISTORIAN" HIPPIE |
