and Sonny Barger. Barger is an actual biker and has been enlisted to no doubt add realism to the project.


Sonny barger basically wrote the goddamn rule book for the Hell's Angels. Founded the Oakland chapter and was the brains behind the informal structure and disciplinary apparatus. It's like saying Al Capone was a common criminal.

I spent 2 years working on my own biker series/story in my spare time.... then in March I found out that HBO was doing 1%, and FX is doing Sons of Anarchy. I grew up around a bike gang in the 70s that was repatched, and received an Angel's charter a while back. If they write this as anything but evil sociopaths, with psychotic delusions of grandeur they are writing propaganda, plain and simple. The Italian mobs contracted their toughness out to bikers who subsequently grew in greater numbers. The Mafia wishes they had the ruthlessness the Banditos and Angel's have today.

I figure I have a paperweight for a decade.
