The Club came into existence on the north side of Dublin in the late 1970s and officially formed in 1979. In 1980 the Club started to attract membership and this formed the nucleus and traditions of the Club still evident to this present day. In the 80s, members had to have a motorcycle of 350cc or bigger as all members rode British machines mostly Triumphs. This was due to the fact of the "No Jap Crap" rule (a self imposed embargo on Japanese machinery) and Harleys just were not a realistic option due to cost and availability. In fact it would take until 1984 before the first Harley would take to the roads under the Club Colours.

The original Club Colours were Red and White. These Colours were to serve the Club well into 1986 when we made a design change and changed the Colours to Black and White. This change was made to distance ourselves from associations with International Clubs and to serve notice to the other existing Irish Clubs that we had no such connections and were willing to coexist with them.

These Colours served us from 1986 - 1996. Over this ten year period, many changes were happening in the Irish Club scene and the Devils Disciples MC were a club in the midst of a lot of this. Within the Club, some Members got involved in the bar trade, and whilst this provided employment for some Club Members, the pub always served as a focal point for the custom bike scene in Dublin. Names such as Barnstormers, Fusion and The Old Barn still evoke fond memories in bikers who were on the scene during the Ninties. It was during this period, we established our first club house, started running gigs regularly and organised our first Show. The first "Blackhills Custom and Classic Bike Show" was held in the Man'O War pub in North County Dublin in September 1992 and was a big success, to its credit this Show has gone from strength to strength, but is no longer the venue for this Show. This show is now held every year during the first weekend of July, and it has earned a reputation as a laid back relaxed sort of Show, featuring dancing girls, trade stalls, tattoo artists, a very good selection of bands and of course the bikes. This Show is the only remaining 3 Day Event left on the Irish Show Circuit, and it holds a special place in the hearts of bikers and locals alike as the place to be before, during and after the Skerries 100 Road Race which coincides with our Show.

It was during this time the Club expanded in terms of numbers of Members. It was also during this time the Club Members started to make the transition from British bikes to American ones, for various reasons; the recession of the early 80s was coming to an end, Harleys were still very expensive, but finally attainable. British bikes such as Triumph had served their purpose, but with bikes becoming older and more unreliable, together with increasing difficulty in acquiring the parts to maintain them, the die was cast, within 5 years the Club was exclusively Harley. The "No Jap Crap" rule stayed in place. No one can accuse the Devils Disciples MC of being complacent, and in 1996 it was decided to change the Colours for a final time. This took some time to sort, but eventually we decided to go with the design that is still worn today- the Green and the Gold, were the Colours chosen leaving no doubt as to the Clubs Irish roots.

From 1996 the Club went through a few more transitional changes. The "No Jap Crap" rule was lifted, provided the bike was customised or chopped, definitely no stock bikes though. A new cc limit was brought in, it was now 750cc reflecting the engine capacity of American, European and Japanese machines, it was also upped to 500 cc for British bikes. The Club continued to grow, establishing Chapters in Wicklow,as a result of a long friendship with the Clan MCC who came on board in 1998 and Kildare as well as the North West. The Club went through a series of Club Houses before settling into our current location. A second Show was established in 1998. This Show is known as "The Gathering" and was held in The Gap Bar in Co. Wicklow. This Show is a 2 Day Event and is similar in format to "The Blackhills" in its scope and entertainment. The Shows location was then moved the Bunker Bar in Gorey,Co. Wexford. Good time's aside, it is the Bike Show on Sunday that provides the focus. In 2006, the Club continued its policy of friendship with Irish MCC’s and as a result of this another MCC called the Loonies from Dublin decided to make the transition and become Devils Disciples. This policy of friendship is still core to our beliefs, as witnessed by our continued support of MCC shows and rallies around the country. This Club was a founding Member Club of the Alliance, the Organisation of Irish MCs, and is proud to wear this Patch on our own Colours. This Club has had a distinguished and turbulent history, but taking our 1% beliefs with experience gained, we look forward to growing further and as a Partner in the Irish Alliance into a bigger and better Club ready to face any new challenges that come along in the future.
