About Us — Rock Machine MC
Rock Machine Motorcycle Club (Rock Machine MC) was founded in 1986 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, emerging from a desire to create a motorcycle brotherhood built on loyalty, independence, and a shared respect for the road. Established by brothers Salvatore and Giovanni Cazzetta, the club began as a response to the growing motorcycle culture of the time and quickly developed a distinct identity within Canada’s riding community.
Our Beginnings
From its earliest days, Rock Machine MC attracted riders who were committed to brotherhood and the traditional values of motorcycle culture. What started as a local club soon expanded across Quebec and into other parts of Canada, gaining recognition for its structure, unity, and presence. The club’s motto, “À la vie à la mort” (“To life until death”), reflects the deep sense of loyalty and lifelong commitment expected of its members.
A Defining Era
During the 1990s, Rock Machine MC became widely known through its involvement in the Quebec Biker War, a prolonged and highly publicized period of conflict within Canada’s outlaw motorcycle landscape. This era was a defining chapter in the club’s history and played a significant role in shaping its leadership, direction, and identity. While challenging, it remains an important part of understanding the club’s past and the lessons carried forward from it.
Transition and Rebuilding
Toward the end of the 1990s and into the early 2000s, Rock Machine MC underwent significant change. Following a period of transition, the club re-established itself, reaffirming its independence and core identity. This period marked the beginning of a renewed focus on continuity, stability, and growth beyond its original borders.
International Expansion and Australia’s Role
As the club evolved, Rock Machine MC expanded internationally, establishing chapters across North America, Europe, and Australia. While firmly rooted in its Canadian origins, the club grew into a global motorcycle brotherhood united by shared values, structure, and tradition.
The Australian chapter stands as one of the many chapters leading the way toward the future of Rock Machine MC. As part of the club’s international presence, Australia represents progress, strength, and continuity — balancing respect for history with a forward-focused approach. Alongside other chapters worldwide, the Australian chapter contributes to shaping the club’s direction for the next generation.
Who We Are Today
Today, Rock Machine MC is a club shaped by experience and guided by purpose. Brotherhood, discipline, respect, accountability, and loyalty remain central to everything we do. Wearing the patch carries responsibility, and every member is expected to uphold the standards set by those who came before.
Rock Machine MC continues to build a path for a new age — honouring its history while moving forward with clarity and unity. Together, across all chapters, we stand committed to the road ahead and the brotherhood that binds us.
