(Sevastopol, Ukraine) It appears that biker gangs are very much different in Russia and Ukraine from those in North America.
Surprisingly, biker clubs are tied to the church and topless women seem to be prohibited from riding on bikes with club members.
The Night Wolves, Russia’s largest and best-known motorcyclists’ club, has expelled a member for giving a topless woman a ride on his motorcycle, which was decorated with a religious pendant, Regions.ru news agency reports. “He has repented,” Night Wolves press secretary Alexey Vaits told the agency, “and he says this will be a lesson for him for the future about how to treat holy objects.”Complete story and photo of booted biker and topless babe is here.

The Icon of Christ Not Made by Hands, which adorned the motorcycle, is a well-known image in the Russian Orthodox Church.
“The girl was standing on Nakhimovsky Square [in Sevastopol, Ukraine],” a witness to the incident stated, “and I didn’t even think she was naked, she had such dense body art, depicting a wolf.”
Club officials were not swayed, however. “A person who placed the Icon of Christ Not Made by Hands on his motorcycle bears responsibility for the holy object, because it is an expression of our ideal, our path, which is what Christ is for us. It is immediately obvious that the enemy of humanity will act through that,” Vaits said. Photographs of the topless girl on the motorcycle, with the icon visible, have appeared on the Internet.
