We previously mentioned that Hunter S. Thompson had spent time with and written a book about the Hells Angels. The book was published in 1996, and the club members were less than happy with the way they were portrayed in it. “Unfortunately, the Angels were depicted as emotionally and intellectually void in the book; a feud between the famed author and the club ensued,” TheRichest reported. “They were less than pleased that he spoke so badly of them after they had allowed him to spend time with their club to research the book.”
We briefly mentioned the name Hunter S. Thompson earlier and the fact that he made a book about the Angels. Let’s dive back in deeper on this book. He wrote the book 1966 and it didn’t do a good job depicting the Angels.
The FBI Doesn’t Take Action
“Because no actual crime had been committed, there was nothing that the FBI could do,” said Mangold. “It’s as simple as that.” It is possible that they didn’t even let Mick Jagger know about the attempt on his life. This story has remained a secret for so long for a reason. There was no clear evidence of any wrongdoing and the boundaries are unclear.
Many of the things that go on behind closed doors will probably never be revealed.
The Quebec Biker War
It is not unusual for a rivalry to evolve between two groups with similar interests. The Rock Machine was also a motorcycle club, although much smaller in size than the Hells Angels. Their leader Salvatore Cazzetta was friends with Maurice Boucher, but when Cazzetta went to jail tensions began to form between the two clubs and for a time they were even at war.
“They were famous rivals to the Hells Angels from 1986-2002,” TheRichest reported. “The Quebec Biker War primarily dealt with this rivalry; a turf war raged on for years while the two clubs fought over the rights to street drug distribution and territory.”
Women Who Roll With The Angels
Women Angels The Hells Angels lifestyle is not just appealing to men. Throughout the club’s existence, there have been many women who wanted to join in the activities, ride a bike behind their man and give authority the finger. Many of these women also wear a biker cut with “support your local 81” patches on it.
Don’t think that just girlfriends like to go out riding. There are plenty of Hells Angels wives who like nothing more than the thrill of being a part of the exclusive motorcycle club.
A Dangerous Commitment
Most of the women who ride with the Hells Angels are no less dedicated than the men. Women can be an active part of the club’s community, but it is still fairly unusual for a woman to ride a bike of her own. The women who are connected to the club are also expected to take risks and make some serious commitments. The vast majority of these adventurous women are dating or married to a member of the club.
There can be some serious effects and serious drama if one of these biker couples splits up.
