The Sin City Deciples Motorcycle Club, also known as Sin City Nation, is a mixed race one-percenter outlaw motorcycle club. As one of the most well-known and oldest black outlaw motorcycle clubs in the United States, they have multiple chapters across the nation and have an additional presence in Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America. Additionally, the organization has many support clubs in across the U.S. in select states.
The Sin City Deciples Motorcycle Club was founded in Gary, Indiana in 1967. Only later did the club establish a chapter in Las Vegas, commonly known as "Sin City". Members of the group have described the organization as a "one percenter" club.
Though primarily composed of black men, the club affirms that it is, in fact, open to men of all races and ethnicities.
The Sin City Deciples have chapters in the following American states: New Jersey, Iowa, New York, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Nevada, D.C, Alabama, Ohio, Colorado, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee, Nevada, Georgia, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Missouri, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Oregon, Florida, Washington, California, Mississippi, louisiana, and Utah.
The popular motto, "death before dishonor", is utilized by the group as well as the phrase "Deciples Forever, Forever Deciples" – abbreviated as DFFD. Additionally, the Sin City Deciples make use of the term "1934 Express" used to signify the numerical initials of the group (19th letter of the alphabet = S, 3rd letter of the alphabet = C, and 4th letter of the alphabet = D). Members of the Motorcycle Club refer to each of their clubhouses as "Sity Hall".
The club is reportedly allied with the Dahuru and Mix Breed. Some of the group's support clubs include the Street Misfitz MC, Black Angels MC, So Solid Ryders MC, the Saddle Bastards MC, and Chauns MC. While historically the Sin City Desciples has required that all members own and ride Harley Davidson motorcycles, riders of metric bikes, including sport bikes, are able to join the Disciple's sibling club, the Sin City Titans. The Sin City Deciples are rivals with the Wheels of Soul Motorcycle Club.
