motorgang

A motorgang is a social group whose members share a common interest in motorcycles and motorcycle riding. These groups can vary widely in their nature and purpose, ranging from casual riding clubs to more organized associations with specific social or charitable aims. Membership in a motorgang is typically based on enthusiasm for motorcycling, although some groups may have established criteria for joining.

Motorgangs often engage in regular group rides, often to scenic locations or specific events. They may also participate in community activities, charity fundraisers, or motorcycle rallies. The social aspect is central, with members often forming strong bonds through shared experiences and a common passion. The term "motorgang" can sometimes be associated with outlaw motorcycle clubs, which are distinct and often have a more structured hierarchy and a reputation for illicit activities. However, the vast majority of motorgangs are recreational and law-abiding, focused solely on the enjoyment of motorcycling and camaraderie. The terminology can sometimes be conflated, but it's important to differentiate between general riding groups and those with more complex or problematic associations.
