The Popeye Moto Club, also referred to as the Popeye(s) MC, and often shortened to simply The Popeyes[4] was a French-Canadian outlaw motorcycle club[5] and criminal organization based across the province of Quebec.[5] At the group's peak, they were believed to be the largest club in Montreal and the second-largest outlaw motorcycle club in Canada, behind Satan's Choice. They were also the largest of the French-speaking clubs in the country.[6]
