Motorcycle gangs, often referred to as motorcycle clubs, are groups of individuals who share a common interest in riding motorcycles. These clubs can vary in size and structure, ranging from small, informal groups to large organizations with established rules and hierarchies. Members typically wear distinctive patches on their jackets that signify their club affiliation and rank. While some motorcycle gangs focus on camaraderie and community service, others have been associated with criminal activities. These activities can include drug trafficking, theft, and violence. Law enforcement agencies often monitor these groups due to their potential involvement in illegal operations, particularly among well-known gangs like the Hells Angels and the Outlaws.
