Pagans MC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pagans Motorcycle Club is a motorcycle club formed by Lou Dobkins in 1959 in Prince George's County, Maryland. Known colloquially as simply The Pagans, the club rapidly expanded, and by 1968 they dominated the entire East Coast.

By 1965 The Pagans, originally clad in blue denim jackets and riding Triumphs, began to evolve along the lines of the stereotypical one percenter motorcycle club.

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