- Little scholarly research exists which addresses the outlaw motorcycle club, Bikers. These works attempt to explore warring factions of this very outlaw club, provide club members' perspectives about media portrayal, expose myths, and elucidate motorcycle club culture. The literature reveals gaps which leave many unanswered questions: Where did Bikers Motorcycle Club come from? How did they start? How or why did they evolve into the alleged international crime organization? The few histories of Bikers Motorcycle Club date the origins of such club to around 2011 and tend to oversimplify the issues of why this club formed and who joined it. This article extends current research by reaching back nearly a decade before now to link the dawn of Bikers MC with the present reality of this outlaw motorcycle club. The overarching goal of the article is to offer a more comprehensive history, an evolutionary history that may allow for a better understanding of Bikers MC and it's initial purpose.
- What follows is a taxonomy of the Bikers MC presidencies, which are held annually, in temporal classification, marked by events which affected the club:
- [list type=decimal]

- The motorcycling picture in San Andreas has been appreciated by the original makers of the game, Rockstar, by giving the game a bit of variance to all the vehicles the game already had. Adding a Harley Davidson as a motorcycle in GTA SA has given it a sense of diversity, implying skins and actual features that support the motorcycle club sub-culture in the game, such as the infamous Punk skin, has surely given the entire game the potential of making great roleplaying-type-of gameplay. Logically, with the launch of an online version of the game and a server that implies real-life simulation, that sense of diversity takes shape into what is now called CIT, a place where everyone is free to be whatever they want, however they want it to be. With that premise, the MC sub-culture was firstly thought of by [b]Jaeger[/b], a simple player who sought for establishing the basis of motorcycling in CIT, paving the way for the rise of a strong brotherhood of man, made to represent the unbreakable outlaw organization, Bikers MC.
- The deary founder, [b]Jaeger[/b], had been a SWAT officer for the longest, and moving to the criminal side wasn't an easy task. Back then, the entire shift from a side to another was one of the hardest things to adapt to, especially when your goal was seeking to establish the basis of a whole sub-culture in a place that isn't familiar with it. Thus, the start was tough, taking [b]StevieFTW[/b], an ex SWAT officer as well, into the club to start was the best solution [b]Jaeger[/b] has found, and the story of Bikers MC begins there.
- The club, despite not having the systems presented in present-day Bikers MC, was a long-standing criminal organization that was shown off to the entire state of San Andreas, it might not have been the biggest of them all, but it sure mattered to the whole criminal side of CIT at the time, despite its recent launch. The unusual nature of the "gang" at that time drew attention to it, which attracted that one person who was always there and ready to join and to push the ground base of Bikers MC even further than before, [b]SpongeFin[/b] was the man for the job. The club, later on, was frozen by [b]Jaeger[/b] himself as he felt the need to join the SWAT Team back again since his duty calls were important.
- [center][i]"Well, a long time ago I left SWAT for about a month and during that period I created Bikers and lead it until I rejoined SWAT. When I left Bikers, there was not anyone suitable to continue it, so I deleted the group. Then a few weeks or months later (not sure how long after) someone else re-created the group." - Jaeger.[/i][/center]

- After [b]Jaeger[/b] left Bikers, it started to encounter many problems, since the leadership was yet to be stabilized. During 2011, Bikers were deleted and re-created multiple times by various leaders, as an attempt to revive the cause, and to start growing the brotherhood to a bigger one, possibly the biggest of them all. There were huge efforts of resurrecting the group, but problems such as activity were heavily affecting it. Names such as [b]StevieFTW[/b], [b]Alien[/b],[b] Hyperwhite[/b], [b]Vladimir[/b], [b]EpicClown[/b], [b]FearMe[/b] and [b]HellStunter[/b] have been key leaders in Bikers.
- In the very first of January, 2012, [b]SpongeFin[/b] did too, resurrect Bikers, later on [b]BountyDJ[/b] also had the attempt, but sadly, things again went down because of inactivity and loss of interest. Later on, a certain player named [b]Cheetah[/b], also known as [b]Florjan[/b], re-made Bikers on the 29th of September, 2012, and that is the current F6 group creation date. He then gave the leadership to his friends, [b]FearMe[/b] and [b]HellStunter[/b], because he had lost interest in the game and did not play anymore. SpongeFin then returned to Bikers, and [b]HellStunter[/b] & [b]FearMe[/b] gave him the leadership because they joined another group. The foundership was changed in the first of January, 2013, the same day he had re-created Bikers year before in 2012.
- During these events, major changes had occurred and a few features were implemented for the club, such as the bar which actually gave the purposed meaning Bikers needed at that time, recognizing it to be one of the biggest, if not the actual biggest, groups in CIT.
- The club's hierarchic structure was pretty basic, but it surely did include essential ranks, such as the President, which was [b]SpongeFin[/b], followed by the Vice-President, which was [b]a\ex[/b], a Road Captain which was [b]KingOzzy[/b], [b]D44n[/b] as a Secretary, [spoiler]Lizks[/spoiler] as a Sergeant At Arms. That structure held Bikers together for a long while throughout [b]SpongeFin[/b]'s presidency, with some tweaks here and there, such as instating [b]PapaGonzo] as the Sergeant At Arms after [b]Lizks[/b] getting banned.
- During [b]SpongeFin[/b]'s presidency, some of the club members tried to rebel on the club, turning against it and making their own motorcycle club, since they do not agree with some of the decisions [b]SpongeFin[/b] had taken, making Fallen Angels MC, which was later on deleted and cancelled because the whole idea of a motorcycle club was not existent there. With no foundation whatsoever, the Fallen Angels MC falls down.
