History of the 3pc Patch - Part I
History of the 3pc Patch - Part I The AMA was founded in 1924 as an organizing arm of Motorcycle Manufacturers and mainly supported by the Motorcycle Manufacturers to promote motorcycle riding in America. They sanctioned groups of riders from the same area that rode together as motorcycle “clubs”. Some wore complete matching dress outfits with the name of their motorcycle club stitched on the back of their shirts and jackets.

These are some things for you, as a Riding Club, Association or Ministry member, to consider when dealing with motorcycle clubs. They are also things to consider if and when you are going to be around motorcycle clubs.

What is a Motorcycle Club?
If motorcycles influence your lifestyle, you are part of the motorcycle community. Of all the types of organizations found within that community, the motorcycle club stands apart and ranks highest in stature. A serious M/C commands respect for one or both of two reasons:
The intent of this section is to give you an overview of the structure and philosophy of the traditional motorcycle club (MC) created decades ago. This does not necessarily express the feelings or priorities of any particular club, as all motorcycle clubs differ on some points. Regardless of the basic philosophy of this group, it is important that we understand the perspectives of other clubs that you may be associating with from time to time.

Statement from a 1%er
Taken from one of the Delphi Forums
I enjoy reading the perceptions of 1%ers and MC's and often get a laugh at some of the posts both here and on a couple of other forums dedicated to THE LIFE, as it is often called here and there. I especially get a chuckle in regards to the misconception of different views of what is respect. Some advice is good and others are Hogwash. To avoid us is not respectful; to treat us as outcasts or like monsters is not respectful.

Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs & the “Law”
Anthropologist Daniel R. Wolf, who wrote his PhD thesis based on original research done during his membership with the Rebels MC in Canada, technically defined an outlaw motorcycle club as, "a club that is not registered with the American Motorcycle Association (AMA) or the Canadian Motorcycle Association (CMA), which are the respective governing bodies for the sport of motorcycling in the United States and Canada. The AMA and CMA are themselves affiliated with the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), the international coordinating body for motorcycling whose headquarters are located in Paris, France." It is significant to note that this is a much broader definition than both the term "One-Percenter", and the one used by law enforcement agencies in describing what they now refer to as outlaw motorcycle gangs.
