I've see these boozefighter pirates around a fair bit, but this one today had green SS lightning bolts on his bike.

I'm not military, but I seem to remember this could also mean something military. Or does it mean the white power thing?

Actually, no his bike wasn't obnoxiously loud. And, he was wearing a full face helmet.

And faded into non-existance in the 1960s.

The current iteration was started in the 1990s, and they made 3-piece patches based on the simple design used on the old club's sweatshirts.

They claim a connection with the original members, but it's all just a romanticist veneer.

The 81, like Harley-Davidson, has been in continual existence since its founding.

The Boozefighters, like Indian Motorcycles, came and went... and came again... with no relation to the earlier version other than the name.
