El Forastero Motorcycle Club (EFMC) is a one-percenter motorcycle club〔(The Pitch News Kansas City )〕 which was established after being turned down for a chapter by the Satan Slaves MC. The El Forasteros are well known for their criminal activities, and are considered by law enforcement to be among the many second-tier, after the "Big Four" gangs, outlaw motorcycle gangs operated as organized crime enterprises.〔 〕 Its early members included the renowned biker artist Dave Mann. The name of the club means "the outsider" in Spanish.〔The One Percenter Encyclopedia: The World of Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs from Abyss Ghosts to Zombies Elite. Bill Hayes. MotorBooks International, 15 Dec 2011〕 The club was founded in 1962〔(KC Outlaw Bikers ) 〕〔(David Mann Eulogy )〕 by Tom Fugle and Harlan "Tiny" Brower 〔(Throttler Magazine ) 〕 has chapters in Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, and Missouri 〔(Biker News ) 〕 and close links to the Galloping Goose MC.〔The Assimilation: Rock Machine Become Bandidos - Bikers United Against the Hells Angels. Edward Winterhalder, Wil De Clercq. ECW Press, 1 Jun 2008〕 Some of the club members have been found guilty for the crimes motorcycle theft and for transporting and distributing methamphetamine after members testified the club members pooled money to buy narcotics for consumption at their organized events.〔 〕〔 El Forastero member William Eneff received a sentence of seven years in federal prison without parole after pleading guilty conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. According to the US Department of Justice, Eneff, "admitted that members of El Forastero and the affiliated Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club were required to annually pay dues and attend a certain number of motorcycle trips, known as runs, each year. On each run, the members were required to pay money that was pooled, or collected by each club charter, then forwarded to the specific Galloping Goose or El Forastero charter that hosted the particular motorcycle run in order to purchase methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. Those drugs were maintained in run bags, which were distributed to all club members who attended the run."〔 〕 An editorial by Mark Sheehan in the St. Joseph News-Press expressed wonderment at the advanced age of the "dangerous motorcycle gang", the El Forasteros, noting that among one group indicted on methamphetamine charges in 2006, "the ages of these rebels on wheels range from 51 to 60". Indicted El Forastero Larry D. "Eight Ball" Williams was at age 60 a "card-carrying member of AARP." Sheehan said, "My deepest concern is that we are stuck in a psychological rut. We are determined to live in the 1960s when motorcycle gangs were cool." ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「El Forastero Motorcycle Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
