Editing Bikers NY (section)

==Motorcycle-club identity==
Later local photographs and commentary place Bikers NY in Williamsburg during the 1980s and 1990s and associate the club with former South 9 Bikers. The same material names Alicat and Snake in connection with the group, but does not independently verify every identification or establish a complete club roster.<ref name="BikersNY" />

An oral-history feature describes the South 9 Bikers' earlier biker style, including chopper-style bicycles, later motorcycles and a Southside clubhouse. It also records Alicat's movement from the South 9 Bikers into that group in early 1980.<ref name="VICE">[https://www.vice.com/en/article/fashion-v13n10/ “Gangs of Old New York”], ''Vice'', oral-history feature.</ref> These details help document the path toward a motorcycle-club identity but do not establish an official affiliation with the Hells Angels or any other motorcycle club.

Bikers NY should be distinguished from the [[Unknown Bikers]], which occupied a different section of Williamsburg and had overlapping social relationships with the South 9 Bikers. Shared neighborhood and biker style do not make the clubs one organization.<ref name="VICE" />
