The Aces & Eights MC out of New Jersey eventually “patched over” to the Breed Motorcycle Club. Breed MC was founded by Salvatore DeIulio in Asbury Park, New Jersey, in 1965. The club was originally known as the New Breed, but the full title didn't fit properly on the colors. The Breed patched over the Riverside, New Jersey–based Aces and Eights Motorcycle Club and the Elizabeth, New Jersey–based Branded Motorcycle Club in 1983 Due in parts of the efforts of Jim "Irish" Power who was known as "Irish Prez". He was known for his efforts to expand the club with minimal violence and his desire to make the club more profitable and larger in members. Power's efforts took The Breed to a level of profit and members that made the MC become a large force not to be underestimated or taken lightly by its rival clubs. At its peak in the 1970s, the Breed was the most prominent outlaw motorcycle club in the state and also had chapters in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with a membership of between three- and four-thousand. The club disbanded in 2006 after numerous prominent members were indicted on racketeering and drug trafficking charges.
