The word
'Outlaw'
motorcycle gang
suggests that the groups funding
may come from illegal activities
such drug trafficking, prostitution
and gambling.
The
1%
reference was once used by law
enforcement agencies during the
1950's to catergories outlaw motorcycle
clubs. Meaning that "99% of motorcyclists
were law abidding citzens"and the
other
1%
being the opposite.
Other terms such as
top rocker
and
bottom rocker
refer to the
patches or colours of the club,
the
top rocker
being in the example
shown AQUILAS and the
bottom rocker
being RUNCORN .
AQUILAS-RUNCORN.
It's not common knowledge
and
If you didn't know, then you've
learnt something new, but during
the seventies
Runcorn
had its
own
Chapter
called Aquilas. The
word
Chapter
relates to being part
of a more widespread organisation
with more than one branch.
I don't know anything of the
history of
Aquilas MC
but my mate
Pete said they got trashed,
his words not mine.
I think the original
patch
may have
looked like the above but I am only
going on a description from a guy I met
at job club, who told me he use to to ride
with the club.
The
patch
to the right is the artist's
personal creation conceived from an
over active imagination and not the
original patch displayed by Aquilas
members or any other MC.
