Hello, George Christie here...for 40 years I ran with the Hells Angels, 35 of those as president, first in Los Angeles and then Ventura, CA. I was there when wars were started, and when they ended and started again. I have been the target of every law enforcement agency in the United States. This channel will allow me to share my stories with you. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Although there are rivalries between some clubs and some of us all love a good war, lol. I will say.. what happens to them can happen to you, same with many clubs. We must protect the patch !!! Hells Angels have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars protecting their patch.. think about that. We've helped so-called rival clubs to protect their rights to wear club insignia & patches. This right needs to stay with us. What happens to their club could happen to your club or even an individual rider. Most people don't have thousands of dollars to protect their patch. Protect your patch. Get it copyrighted, get everything copyrighted, all patches, insignia, logos, whatever... Learn more from your local C.O.C.
Lots of great stuff many of the names you mention I have met, and you truly give the outsider a look into the most famous Outlaw Club on the planet. Very much enjoy the insight without risking people.. Great work.
Hi George, Back in the early 1980's my father was a building inspector in NYC. He was doing his inspections near 3rd Street and saw a biker was hit by a car. My dad ran over to see what happened and he hailed a cab for the biker and told the driver to take the biker to the hospital. Vinnie asked my dad why he helped him. My dad replied because my son rides a Harley and would want someone to help him out if he got hurt. Before Vinnie got in the cab he handed my dad his card and said if you are ever down here and you need some help doing inspections knock on the clubhouse door and hold up my card. In those days the area near the clubhouse was not considered a "good" neighborhood. So whenever my father was in the neighborhood he would knock on the clubhouse door. Vinnie would come out and wave all of the bums and low-lifes away and my father would perform his inspections under Vinnie's protection.
Pappa told me a story about having to beat a guy down because the guys kid traced the letters of his HA patch with his fingers while they were waiting in line for something at a festival.
I remember someone getting beat to hell at a party many years ago. He was wearing a white jersey with red shoulders & sleeves and 81 in the middle f&b. It was his high school colors and the year he graduated!
I have listened to less than a minute as I write this………..I had patches that got sewn on my clothes……when I was a Cub Scout………..I haven’t felt the need to have any of this crap since………
Labels status or patches are invented to feed the ego, every doctor knows that. You can see it at work, army or any kind of club. It makes the ego or personality bigger. People do all kind of things to get em and ones earned people act different then before.....yeah why is that...?
I’ll say it again, outlaws are born outlaws. There’s something thats born within you and you know from pretty much at a very very young age. That’s my personal opinion and experience. Not like most others! N there’s nothing wrong with that either I believe it sets you apart and if you can harness it, it can make you a better than the rest inside and out!
I fully agree. I like the way Norton Bob lays it down about 9 minutes into HA's Forever. All my kids are the same way. They're respectful and cordial to adults, but as soon as someone starts power tripping or demanding respect, they'll tell them to piss off. (which is exactly why one isn't at school right now) LOL.......FTW.
Good morning George 🌞. Wow - what a crazy story. Man, you really know how to tell a story. 💯. Thanks for the early morning video drop. Have a great week.🤙
There is a dude here in my hometown who wears a 'SUPPORT 81 Berdoo" patch on his costume and red/white everything. He tried to bully me out of a parking spot at bike night. Told him, "How about this 60-year-old man takes you down, cuts that patch and sends it back to San Bernardino?" I never quite got the "Outlaw adjacent" thing. I reckon the guys that do it know they could never cut it for a day, but still want everyone to think they are hard.
Give a loser like that a label or patch....and they think they are John J Rambo. Ask for a foto when he was 15 of 16..and you have all your answers. If you're not a 1 %er....you're a wannabe......
