Hangmen Motorcycle Club is an outlaw motorcycle club[2] founded in Richmond, California in 1960.[3] The word outlaw carries a specific meaning which does not imply criminal intent, but rather means the club is not sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and does not adhere to the AMA's rules.[4] The colors are black and gold, and the logo is a noose.
Hangmen MC is a Registered Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.[5]
Hangmen MC was established by a group of friends who rode motorcycles together. With the increase of Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs in the State of California, they decided to start their own motorcycle club and make their mark in history. Founder Ray Aho named the club Hangmen MC.[6] There were 12 charter members when the club was formed.
Biker artist David Mann did hundreds of illustrations for Easyriders magazine[7], and among them, Mann did three paintings about the Hangmen Motorcycle Club: "Untitled"[8] "Tijuana Jail Break",[9], and "El Forastero New Year's Party".[10]
