Pagans MC

Pagans MC

The Pagans Motorcycle Club is a "one-percenter" motorcycle gang 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.

The Pagans are categorized as an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang by the FBI. They are known to fight over territory with the Hells Angels MC and other motorcycle clubs, such as Fates Assembly MC.
