Near where I live there's an old-timey resort that was no longer really in the mainstream, but is one of the few places nearby that has an indoor pool. So I used to take my kid there to swim, especially when the weather was bad. It seems one weekend, a Hell's Angels chapter held some kind of event there. I was there with my kid on Sunday afternoon, so everyone was outside, hanging out but getting ready to leave. He was really impressed by all the bikes, but nothing else was especially notable. The next week, the pool lifeguard had a story to tell me. It seems that a newer member, a prospect I guess, decided he wanted to smoke in the pool. That wasn't allowed, and the lifeguard asked him to stop. He refused, and got loud about it. The older members did NOT tolerate that and made him put it away. Well, they wanted to make a proper apology to the lifeguard, so they somehow found out where he lived and sent a sex worker over to spend a few hours with him. He was pretty appreciative, actually.

Worked a full service gas station in HS back in the 80's when a club was rolling through town. I probably topped off 60-70 bikes that day, put a shop rage under the nozzle so no drops on the paint. Not a dropped spilled and made over $100 in tips that day.

[@baconsarny-geddon8298]

@versecontro4898 The main character names are all the same, and the general jist is the same; That this traditional, working-class East Coast MC started changing, when the Hells Angels started getting famous, and brought in this more "sex drugs and rock n roll" influence, from the wilder, more anarchic hippy-ish (kinda) California MC scene. And there was a few little details, like the Outlaws MC guy getting beat up by California bikers, for saying he wanted to become a cop; That wss from a minor comment in the book; There was no actual fight, but some newer members were mad, when an older member joined the Highway Patrol. But the book doesn't really have much "story" to make into a movie. The whole storyline about those young hoods, who first want to join the MC, but [spoiler] end up shooting Tom Hardy, that was just something 100% created by the screenwriters. The young hoods, the attempt to join the club, the shooting- None of it came from the book. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; You couldn't really turn that book into a movie, WITHOUT making changes like that, because of the kind of book it is; It's not a novel, with a real "story". Its a photo-book, 90% just photos, with very little context or background given. There are SOME bits of text, with some background of the MC. But its pretty bare-bones. They did a good job of translating the overall vibe of the book, into a movie. But that meant a lot of "filling in the gaps", by the screenwriters, and adding/tweaking stuff,to make it fit the movie fornat. It's not a doco; Its "based on a true story", the same way that Silence of the Lambs, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Wolf of Wall Street are "based on a true story".

[@StephenMintz]

I work at a bar in Fresno. An OG from out of town came in with a couple other veterans. The Sanger Club had some members there simply to stand behind these Angels to protect them while they bellied up to the bar. A big AA blowhard kept buying them drinks til it was time to settle up, then he was gone. Almost $300 in drinks. Long story short: The OG paid the tab with a big tip. He apologized and said something to the effect of “nobody disrespects where we drink.” Next day the very battered and bruised blowhard showed up and quietly handed over $400 to that bartender and mumbled “sorry” and left.

My dad had a similar experience when he was a cab driver back in the early 80's - he had a very long fare with a member, to a club house, who said he'd "go inside for his wallet" and then never showed up again. Seeing as it was pretty much half of what he hoped to earn that evening, he knocked the door, and when asked, pointed the guy out. Five minutes later, he came out looking very beat up, and handed him the pay, and a large tip, while mumbling sorry.

This man is clearly still fearful of the Hells Angels seeking retribution. He speaks very cautiously to not completely incriminate himself or the Angels for anything. I can't say as I blame him. Even when you're out, you're never really out. He said he cut a deal for the 17 years in prison so as to not get a longer sentence. I wonder what that deal entailed? I'm sure the Angels are not happy with him regardless. When you choose this lifestyle, it's a life sentence. I'll never understand why anybody would think this lifestyle is so great.

The one thing i learned about the loyalty and "code" is that it is an illusion. The moment it becomes a liability, it is forgotten. You don't have any real brothers in the club. Many think that they do, most know at least on some level that your "brothers" will turn on you if the pay is enough, or they are facing serious jail time. It works only to a point. It is kind of sad, really, the delusion that many in that world have when it comes to loyalty.

Guaranteed there are a buttload of "minor" charges for his crew that he won't even remember. DUI for days, disturbing the peace, battery (i.e. punching some rival dude), assault (pulling a knife or showing a hammer is legally assault even if you don't use it).

In dutch 1% clubs that are no longer in existance due to law they give you the chance to cover up, if you don't cover up than you get blacked out.

I am from Limburg and live near the former clubhouse of the well known dutch nomads chapter and what happened there was borderline crazy. The whole club shot their president, his right hand and an 3rd person because of stealing 293kg of cocaine from the antillians. The whole club went free after an short sentence because they couldn't point an killer. Only two people went out with good standing and the rest of the club went out with bad standing. The nomads were the death squadron from the HA Europe and were reknown for there brutal ways of handeling. It is estimated that they assinated many people around Europe.

There’s a local club where I live and they are kinda small but they do have a legit club house and they all hang out at the local bars on a regular basis.

They serve alcohol at the club house to make money but a lot of these guys are actually broke. There aren’t really any rival clubs against them either. They’re really just a group of guys, who ride motorcycles, wear leather and patches and have a club house. A lot of them drink and do/sell coke but it’s literally NOTHING like what you see on tv or movies.

What club is this? I come from a neighborhood protected by this kind of people. Let me tell you that there are laws that were passed in Canada, especially in Québec, just to prosecute some of the members, because they would have such a large number of counts for murder that prosecuting them the regular way wouldn't be possible. Whatever club you're talking about is NOT a 1% club. You live in a delusion if you think those guys don't exist. You're just talking about a regular, non-outlaw, 99%, motorcycle club. Anyone can start a club of anything. You're more than welcome to create a patch design, set-up a clubhouse and make it a bar. That's NOT a 1% club, this is why there is a 1% patch. It's just a motorcycle club.

[@MrLolx2u]

The Mayans scene about them dealing stuff in actual working factories and stuff, that do happen. It's just a coverup as normal police won't really check on factories unless there's some tip off or a major crime going on so it's easier for them to pack goods since it's a factory and also receive it thru other shipment of stuff that's coming into the factory. What I meant was, if it was a garment factory like that, it'll be easier for the initial runners to stuff keys of drugs into the garment shipment, send it to the factory to be cut, packed and redistributed without much issue as cops won't specifically open trucks and check every one of them nor check big factories like that unless they had a tip off or the driver of said truck fucks up. So in fact, quite alot of different orgs besides OMGs use these as coverups for various crimes they do be it drug distribution, money laundering or underground gambling dens. One of the most notorious users of such things are the Mafia and the Triads where it's a normal jewelry shop outfront but upstairs could be a gambling den or loansharking office.

This is the first one of these “Actual *person* reviews movies” videos where I actually believe the person being interviewed is telling as much of the truth they can. Theres obviously a few “but not me’s” thrown in there for obvious reasons but this was fun to watch.

“Not MY chapter “ lol good job brother

Hey where's that scene from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure? They should've included that.

Why does it matter he was getting older you act like being childish forever is a good thing I feel bad for you 😂

[@BobSaint]

@@ffreeshavocadoo So, it wouldn't matter if he stayed "childish" (nice term for a criminal life btw) as long as he didn't get caught? I'd have more respect for him if he took it, and didn't rat out on his ex-buddies. This guy is a scum, and if given chance, he'll go against anyone, guilty or innocent, to save his skin.

[@ffreeshavocadoo]

@@BobSaint bro you just said you’d respect a guy who’s commented crime instead of someone who helps put people like that in jail your what’s wrong with the world that’s how Ik you grew up with a life made for you in your had lol he legit explained he was transporting methamphetamine which means his partners were in on it to wouldn’t you wanna get meth off the streets instead of glorifying the crime ?

how come he gave the vest a 4/10 for authenticity when a few frames later they show a photo of his vest and it looks almost identical

I didn’t know you could even ‘leave’ hells angels. Though my knowledge comes from tv documentaries.

[@patrickmatter9475]

This is Pat Matter ,just wanted to correct you on a few things. I obviously cooperated and the outcome of my cooperation resulted in one only one ! HELLS ANGEL did time on my case and one non member as stated by agent Chris Omodt on A&E secrets of the Hells Angels series one episode 6. If you want the facts reach out to me.

[@HawgRiderBC]

How does a snitch even look at himself in the mirror? All he sees is a pos looking back at him. Anyone who leaves a club is going to have the cops show up at your door and offer you money for information (hoping that you'll be a rat out of feeling betrayed). I told them to get fucked. I'm not going to have to hide for the rest of my life.

[@jamesstanley7065]

Sons Of Anarchy when they burned his tattoo off. He was supposed to have it blacked out but never did. They found out about it then burned it off.

[@michaelsteele9341]

Never understood the whole I hate rules thing, then joining a club with alot of rules. Riding is about the wind in your face, and no distraction. No radios. Just the sound of machine and the road. Noticing everything, hawk in tree, deer in road

[@nicholas_scott]

@@Russell-yt8kg The polygraph is inadmissible to be used in court, due to the high amount of false positives and negatives. However, outside of court, it is not uncommon for employers to use it to remove candidates who MIGHT be problematic. You might be honest, and good, but just a nervous type and always fail a polygraph. Well, then you will never get a high security clearance or become a hells angels. haha

[@ronv6637]

Polygraph can be good a finding who is a good liar. If you can control your emotions, breath, heartrate and skin galvanic response you can get readings that can really mess with the examiner- complete different readings to the same question (name,birthday family,erc)

Where is Bogdanovich's Mask (1985)? It is the most realistic portrayal of outlaw bikers I can recall seeing.

Sonny Barger was in SOA as Lenny the pimp

[@IronMetal]

9:27 it's not because of the badge, it's because of their behaviour, Sonny agreed to serve the bikers, but the bikers started a brawl

[@TheRoadhammer379]

The mafia bar didn't refuse to serve the bikers, they asked them to act civilized. The bikers didn't and got their heads busted. 😂

[@HeyRonni]

I wish they would have explained the circumstances in some of the clips, for example the 'burning off the ink' scene from sons of anarchy was because the guy was out bad and had NOT blacked out his ink several months after getting kicked out. They found out he still had the ink and were forcing him to remove it in their presence by either fire or knife (as they weren't tattoo artists to black it out themselves lol)

[@googleuser4152]

Always love hearing about how badasses turn into rats when their number is up. "My family"....if you cared about your family, you wouldnt have been there in the first place. Now your cashing out the only way you know how.

Thats what I was thinking when he talked about one gang meeting a different gang, and _obviously_ they would not get along. Like, why? Couldnt they just enjoy their beers, talk about their common hobby, riding bikes and whatnot? Sounds very much like teenagers making up fake reasons to beat the different gang up...

Usually the treasurer has a veto power when it comes to financial issues. By veto I mean veto against the president too. The only thing the President can do is call in a meeting and try to get the club to vote for his proposal but the treasurer has to explain why he vetoed the president and back his own decision in front of the club and the club decides.
