The State Burner's MC is a historically all black motorcycle club founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1946 by founder and former president, Freddie James Carter who died in December of 2006.

History
In 1945 there were three anonymous bikers in Atlantic City who enjoyed the sport of riding motorcycles. After they crossed the bridge and paid toll they would do burn-outs in the oil at the base of the bridge that connected Philadelphia and New Jersey, originating the name “Old Burner’s”. Every weekend Coffee, Cheyenne Boddie, Spartacus and Peter Gun rode to Philadelphia to party with Big Daddy, Jude and Maverick. Freddie Carter (Coffee) led the riders who all enjoyed stunt riding.

In November of 1946, Coffee, Peter Gun, and Maverick moved to Philadelphia and the seven (7) riders formed a club already known for "Burning Rubber From State to State.". Coffee decided to name the club “The State Burner’s”, starting the first and only Black Motorcycle Club on the East Coast.

Coffee was a truck driver and started hay rides for children. He would sometimes load over 30 kids in his tractor trailer and drive them to Atlantic City for an Easter egg hunt. The Burner’s still have cook-outs for kids to this present day. The State Burner’s were known for being gentlemen, always willing to help anyone and loved by many.

In 1966, a new young member joined the club, but he did not have a riding name. He wanted to learn how to stunt ride so Coffee and Cheyenne taught him. He was good at doing a trick called the “bull-dogging”. He looked like a wild Cowboy at a rodeo so he was given the name “Cowboy”.

Cowboy became the President of the Burner’s in 1968 and designed the first set of colors with two rockers and a center piece. The center piece shows a rider riding side-saddle; this was used because all of the original Burner’s were stunt riders. The seven flames coming from the back tire is an honor to the seven members who started the club. Cowboy now “President Cowboy” has started State Burner’s chapters in multiple other states. The State Burner’s still maintain the reputation of being officers and gentlemen, teaching and promoting safe riding.
