The Pagans Motorcycle Club is a part of the American subculture. Formed by Lou Dobkins (a Biochemist at the National Institute of Health) in 1959 in Prince George's County, Maryland the Pagans MC rapidly expanded, and by 1968 they dominated the entire East Coast.

The Pagans, by 1965, originally clad in white denim jackets and riding Triumphs, had begun to evolve along the lines of the California stereotype generated by such famous motorcycle clubs as the Booze Fighters, Cavaliers, Coffin Cheaters, Comancheros, Crossmen, Defiants, Devil's Henchmen, El Diablos, Falcons, Galloping Gooses, Gladiators, Gypsy Jokers, Gypsy Outlaws, Hangmen, Hells Angels, Iron Horsemen, Journeymen, Marauders, Mofos, Night Riders, Outlaws, Presidents, Road Rats, Satan's Slaves, Stray Satans, Thunderbirds, Thunder Riders, etc. Most of these were eventually merged with the Hells Angels.

The Pagans MC patch depicts the god Surt with a flaming sword and Pagans in red, white and blue. Surt is a Fire Giant who lives with the People of Muspel in Muspelheim, the realm of fire to the south. There, he stands ever alert brandishing his great, fiery sword which shines brighter than the sun. In Ragnarok, he is the one who sets the world on fire and burns it down.
