Why start a new club? Join an existing one and learn what it is to be a member from the ground up. We all can't be charter members without paying dues.

As stated above, check with your COC. If you are not sure, it is best to talk with a Patch Holder from one of your local M/Cs and see if you can get an into. Proceed slowly and with respect.

And don't take anything for granted. If you get the intro to the dominant club, have all your ducks in a row. Answers for things like; What type of club are you going to be? Are you wanting to be a 1% club? What type of patch are you thinking about? What colors on the patch? Etc. They'll ask, you better have an answer. But I wouldn't show up with an already made up patch. A sketch would do just fine.
Like said, proceed slowly and with respect.
Better advise was to just join one that already exists.

An exerpt from the above site....
If you decide to start your own club, MC or otherwise, you MUST contact the local Lead MC Club and discuss it with them. Period. There is a few, VERY FEW, places that do not requires this, but the only way is to contact them.
It is generally seen as poor taste to decide to start your own club. Basically, it tells them that you are trying to avoid paying your dues and avoid the learning of what they mean by respect, because there are already enough clubs in existence where you could be taught and bond with an existing brotherhood. Everyone hears about the big clubs. Few outside the lifestyle realize there are hundreds of smaller MCs across the country that are not 1% or even support clubs. I would recommend getting to know those in your area first. Who knows, you might fit right in with one of them instead of trying to start your own.

I find the underlined portion to be very illuminating on the situation. Take heed.
