The Gypsy Joker Motorcycle Club (GJMC), are a "one-percenter" motorcycle club that was originally formed in San Francisco, California on April Fool's Day, 1956. Though founded in the United States, the MC expanded more successfully overseas is now one of the most notorious motorcycle clubs in Australia, Germany, South Africa and Norway.
Prominently featured in Hunter Thompson's book Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, they were the second most powerful outlaw motorcycle club in California until they were forced out of the San Francisco Bay Area by the Hells Angels. They have also been in Washington state since 1966, and relocated to Oregon in 1967, taking up temporary residence in Lincoln City, Oregon. The club has since spread to Australia, Germany, South Africa and Norway. There are approximately 35 chapters worldwide. In response to proposed anti-"bikie" laws in Australia, a protest rally was held in 2009, including a show of support by many other outlaw bikers, even among rival gangs.
