The Popeye Moto Club, also referred to as the Popeye(s) MC, and often shortened to simply The Popeyes was a French-Canadian outlaw motorcycle club and criminal organization based in Quebec. At their peak, they were as the second-largest biker gang in all of Canada, behind the rivaling Satan's Choice.
In 1977, the Popeyes were "patched over" (absorbed) by their longtime allies the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and subsequently rebranded as the very first Canadian Hells Angels charter.
