Motorcycle gang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A motorcycle gang (also known as a biker gang, outlaw motorcycle club, or simply outlaw club), is a term primarily used by law enforcement and non-motorcycle riders to describe a club or gang made up of motorcycle riders.

Members are also known as 1%ers (spoken as "one percenters"). Members who have been through a full initiation are called patched members. They may, in turn, sponsor prospective members.
