The Outlaws Motorcycle Club, incorporated as the American Outlaws Association (AOA) is a one-percenter motorcycle club〔Federal jury convicts six in Outlaws gang; (Edition ) St. Petersburg Times. St. Petersburg, Fla.: Jan 25, 1989. pg. 1.B〕〔Jury Convicts Six Outlaws Of Conspiracy; (Edition9 ) Amy Stromberg, Staff Writer. Sun Sentinel. Fort Lauderdale: Jan 24, 1989. pg. 1.B〕 that was formed in McCook, Illinois in 1935. Membership in the in the US is limited to men who own American-made motorcycles of a particular size,〔1000 cc engine capacity, according to the History Channel series Gangland〕 although in Europe motorcycles from any country are allowed so long as they are in the chopper style. Their main rivals are the Hells Angels, giving rise to a phrase used by Outlaws members, "ADIOS" (the Spanish word for "goodbye", but in this case doubling as an acronym for Angels Die In Outlaw States"). ==History== The Outlaws Motorcycle Club was established out of Matilda's Bar on old Route 66 in McCook, Illinois, a southwestern suburb of Chicago, in 1935. The club stayed together during World War II, but like most organizations at that time, their activities were limited. In the 1950s, the club's logo was changed; a small skull replaced a winged motorcycle, and Old English-style letters were adopted. This design was embroidered on a black shirt and hand painted on leather jackets. In 1954, the Crossed Pistons were added to the original small skull. This design was embroidered on a black western-style shirt with white piping. The movie ''The Wild One'' with Marlon Brando influenced this backpatch. The Skull and Crossed Pistons were redesigned in 1959, making them much larger with more detail. The A.O.A. logo was adopted as an answer to the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) logo. The Outlaws became a member of the 1%er Brotherhood of Clubs in 1963. The club featured in a work of photojournalism called ''The Bikeriders'' published in 1967 by Danny Lyon, a collection of photographs and interviews documenting the lifestyle of members of the club in the early 1960s.〔The Bikeriders.
