Casey “Squints” Flatten – President
I grew up in rural Bradley, SD. In the 80’s Bradley was the home of the Clark County Riders. I remember playing little league baseball in town and a lot of the dads would come to games on their bikes. It was the coolest thing I saw as a young kid. I couldn’t wait for the day I could join club. I was close to a lot of original members and their wives and children. My cousin Bob Bjerke was the first CCR president, and Connie Merkel was like a 2nd mom to me. I had her sew on my prospect patches. Years go by and so did life. I knew joining the club was a big commitment and moved to MN for 12 long years. Moved back to SD in 2010. I kept going to run as often as I could, still a love for the club. Finally prospected in 2019. A lot of the familiar faces are retired or riding their bikes in the sky. This is the greatest group of guys I know! Passionate about helping others and the love of motorcycles. Doug “Huggins” Lynch was my sponsor and he told me about time. I live outside Clark, SD with my wife Valorie of 21 years, 30 years together. My son, Gavin, is currently our CCR Secretary and daughter, Raigan, a Freshman at USD studyingpre-med.

Gavin “Sleeves” Flatten- Secretary
I’ve had a passion for riding motorcycles since I was five years old. I started riding dirt bikes with my grandfather and family, who helped teach me how to ride. My grandfather bought me my first dirt bike, and from that moment on, I was hooked. Years of riding eventually turned into a love for street bikes when I was in high school. That sparked a passion for the open road, and I rode for quite a few years with friends and family. My father, Casey—road name Squints—who is now our club president, would always talk about the old bikers he knew growing up. He and I started riding out in the hills together, and I often rode with a few friends as well. My father joined the club in 2019, and shortly after I turned 21 that same year, he asked how I felt about joining. At first, I laughed; I had never really thought about joining a motorcycle club. But after learning what the club truly stood for and how much they give back, I realized I loved it. I joined as the youngest member ever and take great pride in that fact—as well as being the youngest to hold an office position. I took office in 2023 and have remained in that role since. It’s been an incredible opportunity to meet amazing people and experience a true brotherhood. I look forward to being part of this club for many years to come.
Jon “Sandman” Anderson – Treasurer
I am proud to call Webster, South Dakota my home. My journey with the club began in 1998, and it has been an incredible experience to ride alongside such a dedicated group of individuals. In 2014, I took on the role of treasurer, a position I have held with honor and responsibility ever since. As treasurer, I am committed to maintaining the financial integrity of our club, ensuring transparency, and supporting our mission through careful stewardship of our resources. My years with the club have deepened my appreciation for the camaraderie, community service, and passion for riding that define us. I look forward to many more years of service and adventure with my brothers.
