McCook Outlaws Motorcycle Club was formed in Matilda’s Bar on Route 66

In 1935, McCook Outlaws Motorcycle Club was formed in Matilda’s Bar on Route 66. McCook, Illinois. Following the end of WWII, the membership grew, attracting bikers from all over the state. In 1963, the club became a member of the official “One Per Center Brotherhood of Clubs”. Since then the club has been at war with main rivals The Hell’s Angels. The feud culminated with the imprisonment of Angels’ head honcho Sonny Barger in 1988 after he attempted to blow up Outlaws members using gelignite. The gangs’ turf war continues today."
