BLOOD RUNS

or ... 46 & 2

Motorcycle gangs have been in existence since shortly after World War II. The legendary “outlaw” clubs are still around and are just as mean as they’ve always been. Today’s bikers find themselves dealing with issues similar to those members in the past — drugs, prostitution, illegal fire arms. motor vehicle theft and assorted crimes of violence.

Structurally, outlaw motorcycle gangs are comprised of local chapters and a “Mother Club,” which supervises the local chapters. Each local chapter has a Mother Club advisor who, in effect, exercises direct supervision over the membership. As the overseer, the Mother Club establishes and enforces policy for the organization, schedules mandatory “runs,” and has final authority over club matters.

One characteristic of outlaw motorcycle gangs is their use of wives and girlfriends in their activities. They also use women to gather information that may be useful to the gang. Females affiliated with an outlaw motorcycle gang are also expected to engage in illegal activities, such as go-go dancing or topless dancing.

Most gang members have little regard for their women as human beings. Often referred to as “Old Lady, Mama, or Sheep,” females are considered subservient and are expected to cater to the whims of the men. While a women known as an “Old Lady” is the wife or girlfriend of a member (and is spoken for), “Mamas” or “Sheep” are available to all members, usually for exploitation.

Aside from recognized involvement in tattoo parlors, auto body shops and related motor vehicle businesses, the outlaw bikers’ interest in other legitimate areas seems to be on the rise as recent crack downs by law enforcement officials have forced many of these “outlaws” to resort to new ways of generating income. New members - though quirky they may be - consider the pharmaceutical drug industry, the government war machine and the gas companies as the ways to make money in today’s ever changing society.

However this goes against their anti-social mantras of the past and works right into the mantras, “Live to ride, ride to live” and “Ride hard, live free”. Due to successful interdiction efforts by law enforcement, coupled with the diminished demand for illegal drugs and the high price of gas, outlaw motorcycle gangs are generally considered by many an organized crime force in decline. Club advisors and some of the loyal followers of the 46 gangs operating in the Southwest have met at The Lodge to sort out their “differences” and determine the “directions” they should go.

United by a love of powerful motorcycles, the open road and the spirit of the drifting American outlaw, these “outlaws” live by their own code of ethics and laws. Bound together through the principle of loyalty toward the organization and their fellow members these individuals will do anything for their “biker brothers” — ANYTHING ... and murder is just one of those necessary evils.
