The Hells Angels were founded in Fontana, California on 17th March 1948, not by the late Ralph ‘Sonny’ Berger as is often believed. The inception is usually credited to motorcycle enthusiast Otto Friedli though this has been disputed and denied by Friedli himself. Supposedly, Otto borrowed the name from Arvid Olsen, a former vet who’d flown with a ...
If you want to become a member of the Hells Angels, there are three things you need to have. These are the right personality, a Harley Davidson, and a contact with the club to get your face known by other members. If you like what you see, and vice versa, you can become a 'Hang-Around' to begin with, which is pretty self-explanatory. If you’re stil...
In many respects, the Hells Angels' mottos say more about the principles of the organisation than much of the stuff written about them. Their official motto, ‘Angels Forever; Forever Angels’, is abrupt and to the point, but ‘three can keep a secret if two are dead’has a far more taciturn ring to it. However, contained within ‘When we do right, nobo...
Sonny Berger said in 2000: "If you're a motorcycle rider and you're white, you want to join the Hells Angels. If you're black, you want to join the [East Bay] Dragons. That's how it is whether anyone likes it or not. We don't have no blacks and they don't have no whites." While this rings true for the vast majority of US charters (in more recent ye...
Hells Angels ride Harley Davidson motorcycles, most of the time anyway. The reason for this lies somewhere between patriotism and availability. There was a significant surplus stock of cheaper, ex-WW2 motorcycles that were picked up by bike clubs in the mid to late 1940s. In the UK, before 30th July 1969 when two London Charters were issued for the...
Buell was founded in 1983 by an ex-Harley Davidson engineer named Erik Buell. Five years later Harley Davidson bought a majority stake in the business and took it over. Therefore, Buell bikes are sanctioned for use by HAMC members. However, it’s little known that other, non-Harley-powered bikes are tolerated as well, so long as they’re American. Be...
Be under no illusion, the HAMC is first and foremost a collection of brothers bonded by a shared passion for hard partying and, above all, motorcycles. This isn’t a fair-weather Sunday ride-out organisation. Your average Angel will ride at least 20,000 km a year, often in strict formation. Usually, the President of the club will lead the way, follo...
And they won! Disney was accused of a trademark infringement in 2007’s poorly received Wild Hogs, a US biker comedy/road movie starring John Travolta and Tim Allen. Less we forget, the HAMC has a strong intellectual property portfolio. For example, the death head logo and Hells Angels wordmark are both owned by the group. It is known formally/legal...
The fictitious Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Originals (SAMCRO) created by Kurt Sutter for FX between 2008 to 2014 is populated with more-than-just passing Hells Angles-inspired ephemera. It’s even been alleged that some aspects of the plot were inspired by related, real-life events. But if anything, Sons of Anarchyhad the support of the ...
It’d be remiss not to note that David Labrava did leave the club in April 2019 ‘in good standing, honourably’. However, unless they kick you out -and you really don’t want that to happen- the short answer is 'you don’t leave'. If it’s not already clear, being a part of the HAMC isn’t like being in the Hampshire Pony Club, and if you thought joining...
