 * ===Origins/History- Originated from the McCook Outlaws motorcycle club in 1935. Club was established outside of Matilda's Bar on Route 66 in McCook, Illinois. The Club stayed together although their activities had been limited during World War II. In May of 1946, the first major post-war motorcycle event was held at Soldier Field in Chicago. In 1950, with new members coming from all over the Chicago area, the Club was growing in size from its early beginnings of 1935. Moving out of McCook and re-establishing itself in Chicago, the club decided to change its name. The “McCook Outlaws” became The “Chicago Outlaws”. In 1963 the Outlaws became the first true 1%er Club east of the Mississippi. A 1%er is "biker" talk for the 1% of motorcycle riders who operate "oustide the law". In 1977 the first chapter outside the USA was formed in Canada. In 1993 France became the first European chapter. ===
