June 10, 1692, Bridget Bishop is the first of the witches to be hung in Salem, Massachusetts.
Over a hundred "witches" were arrested in Salem that year, but only thirty-one were tried. All thirty-one, including six males, were sentenced to death. Nineteen were hanged, two died in jail, and one man was slowly pressed to death under heavy stones. Contrary to popular belief, none were burned.
Fast forward to December, 2009... the all female W.I.T.C.H. MC (Motorcycle Coven) is formed in the UK.
From the club's website...
W.I.T.C.H (We Intend To Cause Havoc)
We are an all female group, we love to ride our bikes, party and cause havoc wherever we go.......
We are UK based and have members across most of the south of England and also now Yorkshire.
We encourage women to ride and also to maintain and modify their own machines.
It is a requirement that a witch rides her own bike of over 500cc ....MOTORCYCLES ONLY NO FUCKING TRIKES! of any description no matter how pretty YOU may think it looks!
Although you don't have to ride to party with us!!
It is ultimately all about the bikes, riding them, living and breathing bikes......
Support your local WITCH MC.
