Ching-A-Ling Nomads MC History

Ching-A-Ling was founded in New York City, New York in 1966. The Ching-A-Lings started life as a Puerto Rican street gang in the Bronx area before patching over the New Rochelle Motorcycle Club, at which point the former street gang transformed themselves into a motorcycle club.

One interesting habit displayed by members of Ching-A-Ling MC is that when they visit the graves or memorials of former members they spit beer or other alcohol from their mouth onto the grave.

The Ching-A-Lings use the acronym “CFFC”. This style of acronym is used by almost all outlaw clubs and stands for “Ching-A-Ling Forever, Forever Ching-A-Ling”.

Some Ching-A-Ling patches also show the number “314”, “3” for the letter C (Ching-A-Ling) and “14” for the letter N (Nomads).

In the center of the patch are the letters “FTW”, which is an acronym commonly used by outlaw motorcycle clubs and stands for “Fuck The World”.

There are two versions of the Ching-A-Ling Nomads patch, one with the iron cross in the center, the other with the swastika. Both the iron cross and the swastika signify strong ties to Prussia and Nazi Germany. Despite the nazi paraphernalia the one percenter motorcycle club accepts members of all races.
