Akan Ch'ichway (అకన ఛిఛయబ literally "Roaring Metallic Way") is a Mutulese motorcycle sub-culture associated with heavily customized motorcycles. The exact type of modifications favored by the Akan Ch'ichwayob changed thorough time, but an ubiquituous caracteristic of the sub-culture was its quest for speed leading to it being sometime dubbed the Speed Cult. They first appeared in the 40s, consequence of some conscripts returning from the Second Belfro-Mutulese War with difficulties to reconfirm to civilian life. By the 70s, the Akan Ch'ichwayob had already shifted from "veteran associations" to "youth gangs" patrolling the major highways of the Divine Kingdom. At their height, there was around 40,000 people in an unsanctioned motorcycle club associated to the sub-culture. Nowadays, numbers are much lower but still possibly higher than the official police estimate of 2000. Notably, the sub-culture structure evolved from small individual gangs with no fixed territory to more scattered Associations, with control over large, clearly defined, areas.
The "Roaring Metallic Spirit" prefer speed over comfort, which is demonstrated by the kind of motorcycles and customizations they tend to favour: light weight, ,a tuned engine and minimalist bodywork. The style itself evolved throughout the time of their popularity. Nowadays, Akan Ch'ichway gangs have returned to a more discret and minimalist style, indistinguishable from "normal" riders in all occasions but one: when engaged on a "war ride", a gang will wear their Jatz'ek b'uk (హఝెకె భుకు "Star War Clothes"). These generally involve leather military jackets with baggy pants, bandanas, and tall boots with extravagant adornments and paintjobs.
