Hells Angels (MC)

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (MC) is an internationally known organization founded in 1948, composed of motorcycle enthusiasts. Members, often referred to as “gang members,” typically ride Harley-Davidson bikes and share a strong sense of brotherhood, loyalty, and personal freedom. While some perceive the club as a social club for motorcycle fans, law enforcement agencies have linked certain chapters to organized crime and criminal activities. The Hells Angels operate through a structured hierarchy, with rituals and codes of conduct. They emphasize secrecy, camaraderie, and a rebellious image, but their activities and affiliations have garnered significant legal and public scrutiny.
