Vagos Motorcycle Club : Everything you need to know about

The Vagos Motorcycle Club, also known as the Green Nation, is a one percenter motorcycle club formed in 1964 in San Bernardino, California.[1][3] The club's insignia is Loki, the Norse god of mischief, riding a motorcycle. Members typically wear green.[7]
The Vagos have approximately 4,000 members among 200 chapters located in the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Missouri, as well as chapters throughout Europe and ten chapters located in Mexico (Baja California, Jalisco and Mexico City).[8][5][9] Vagos in Ontario, Canada were reported to have patched over to Outlaws Motorcycle Club (American Outlaws Association) in 2015 before AOA disbanded in 2018.[10] Two hundred members are in Inland Empire, where the club was started in the late 1960s.[5][11]
In 2013, the Vagos expanded to Sweden.[12]
Insignia
A member from the Berdoo chapter (slang for San Bernardino) created a patch while he was in prison featuring Loki, the Norse god of mischief. Vago is Spanish for vagabond or wanderer. Their denim jackets sport their top rockers with their club name integrated into the middle patch,[13] and bottom rockers with their chapter's region or state, such as "SO. CAL",[13] "California", or "Arizona".[14] The middle patch "depicts a muscle-bound caricature of the Norse god of mischief, Loki, set against a green field".[14] Loki is colored red on top of a bike with his hands holding up their club name.[15] Other patches the club wears are the number 22 (the 22nd letter of the alphabet, V, for Vagos), and a Loki head. An MF patch (meaning motorcycle family), is received by a member after a probationary period is over and the member is validated as a member of the Vagos family on the front.[1] Some members have been seen with a green swastika and an "SS" symbol on their jackets.

If you cant PRONOUNCE it right then youve NO business reporting it!!!

[@dalepotter6918]

I have never seen a red VAGOS patch . What's with that ?

[@redstarr9roman]

If I’m looking at the same still as you were, then I have a follow up question as a Californian…what the heck is “Cen. Cal”? Like I get “central” is probably what that means but as a Californian I’ve never ever heard of anyone ever refer to any part of Cali as “central”. It’s either NorCal (Northern California) OR SoCal (Southern California). Me thinks AI may have had a hand in this 🤔

@@redstarr9roman to be honest I don't know. I still have a lot to learn about MC culture. I have a huge respect for the MC CULTURE.

@@redstarr9roman It's because in 1977 they started using a California bottom rocker, prior to that they used, So. Cal, Sen Cal, San Gabriel, The Mongols Started that because they were in a fight with the Red and White guys, and they told the green guys to fly California bottom rocker, so that the Red and white guys would now have to fight two enemies instead of one.
