Motorcycle gangs


An outlaw biker and his “colors” declare membership in a particular club. Colors usually consist of a three-piece patch embroidered on a leather or denim jacket which contains the name of the club, the club’s logo, and the club’s location.
Bryan Denson of The Oregonian wrote an interesting Article Eko about the rise of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs OMG in Oregon.   Specifically it detailed how the Mongols Motorcycle Club MMC had discretely opened a 4th chapter in Eugene after previously setting up chapters in Portland, Medford and Bend.  The article characterized them as one of the most violent OMGs of the “Big Five” and it made me wonder if Oregon was set for a bloody turf war like the late 60′s in San Francisco.  The aftermath of many killed bikers was that the Gypsy Jokers MC left California and the Hells Angel agreed to stay out of Oregon.
