In the beginning there was about 800 motorcycle gangs, which eventually emerged together into four powerful groups. These groups were called the Hell's Angles, the Outlaws, the Pagans and the Bandidos. The Pagans were the only group that didn't expand their organization over seas. Outlaw Motorcycle gangs have become crime units that are very capable and well organized like the Mafia. There is documented evidence in federal court that these gangs have become organized crime equal to the Mafia. Also OMG have organized units throughout Europe, Australia, South America and Africa, and they export from the crime group. The American based motorcycle gangs use their network to spread criminal activity overseas. In moving outside the U.S. OMG make a better international criminal connection through the Italian Mafia and Columbian Cartels. Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs have written constitutions by laws and a hierarchical structure of leadership. They must attend meetings to confirm locality and pay dues.
