The Pagans Motorcycle Club was formed by Lou Dobkins in 1959 in Prince George's County, Maryland. The Pagans MC rapidly expanded, and by 1968, they dominated the entire East Coast. The southern New Jersey chapter led by "Big Ron" Massie and later his son Michael "Spyder" Massie who in 1991 was convicted on drug charges, yet continued to maintain his tight reign over activities of this chapter said to be the most feared of all chapters, due to the terror instilled by this father-and-son pair.

The Pagans, by 1965, originally clad in blue denim jackets and riding Triumphs, had begun to evolve along the lines of the California stereotype generated by such famous motorcycle clubs as the Boozefighters, the Warlocks (against whom the Pagans often clashed), Iron Horsemen, Outlaws, etc. Most of these were eventually merged with the Hells Angels.

The Pagans MC patch depicts the Norse fire-giant Surt wielding a flaming sword, plus the word "Pagans" in red, white and blue.

The following information is offered by Lou’s widow, Sandi Dobkin:

The Pagan Motorcycle Club was originally formed as an AMA racing team and custom show bike club by Lou Dobkin in 1963. Born 1/7/1943 in Washington D.C. and after serving as a medic in the U. S. Navy, Lou continued his education as a Bio-chemist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. until his death in 1989. Two of many articles written about his passion for travel & custom bikes - both Triumph and Harley Davidson’s- were published in the November, 1972 Custom Chopper magazine.

Rebuttal== "The majority of the above information is incorrect and misleading. Statements like Dirty Lou was a Biochemist at the National Institute of health are unfounded; The PMC have never been part of the AMA; Dutch was a member of Outlaw MC at the time of his death when he was shot -- not in a gun fight; The Pagans MC evolved from a car club. If some one would like to talk about this or any historical subject matter on the Pagans MC and/or feel they have verification of their statements, then by all means they should contact me through the link to the Jailed Pagan's web page." -- Ronnie 1% Pagan's MC
