The Pagan’s [sic] Motorcycle Club is one of the most ruthless and secretive “one-percenter” outlaw biker gangs in the country. Active since the late ’50s, its most consistent rival for the past few decades has been The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. Yet for the impressive size of their combined, constantly-at-war memberships, nobody in either group seems to understand how apostrophes work.

For this and countless other crimes, ATF agent Ken Croke risked two years of his life to infiltrate the Pagan’s(‘) inner circle, as chronicled in his book (co-written with New York Times bestselling author Dave Wedge), Riding with Evil: Taking Down the Notorious Pagan Motorcycle Gang. Here, we discuss the darker side of human nature brought out by outlaw tribalism, the hierarchy observed by this and similar criminal organizations, what real one-percenter bikers think of Sons of Anarchy, what someone has to go through to gain initiation into the trusted ranks of this particular gang, and much more. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
