How to become a Hells Angel

95

By andrix

How many exclusive organizations, the Hells Angels keep very quiet about its operation. But members and observers have written enough about the group to offer a basic idea of the requirements for membership. Officially, you must:

- Have a driver's license
- To own a motorcycle to work
- Never have signed up to work as a police officer or prison guard
- Not a child molester

Given the group's alliances with organizations like the Aryan Brotherhood and his appreciation for the Nazi symbolism, members also need to be white. The path to full integration involves several stages and may take years:

- Occasional: status that allows a person to join to participate in certain events of the club;

- Associated: if members are interested in an occasional guest, you can offer the membership status;

- Candidate: This status recognizes that the person is being considered for admission. She can participate in club activities but not entitled to vote;

- Full membership or full badge: the successful candidates are promoted to that status. "Badge full" or "get the distinctive" means that the member has the right to use all the badges on his jacket, including the skull logo of the Hells Angels, the words "Hells Angels" in the distinctive character and location of the club No less distinctive.

Among them, the members refer to the organization simply as "HAMC", and often mention the number "81" in different contexts. The letter H is the eighth of the alphabet, and A is the first-that is, an abbreviation of "Hells Angels" [source: Hells Angels Motorcycle Club World].

The Hells Angels are known to police around the world as a motorcycle gang outlaws. " The members prefer to define as "motorcycle club". But will the Hells Angels are really as dangerous as its reputation indicates?

Law enforcement agencies around the world claim that the Hells Angels is an organization involved in crime and violence. Drugs, prostitution and intimidation are the basis of its performance, according to authorities, and its members have criminal records to prove it:

- In May 2008, the Hells Angel Christopher Wayne Hudson pleaded guilty for killing a man to death as passers-by tried to help his girlfriend as the couple on the streets of Melbourne.

- The site of the Hells Angels a page dedicated to club members who are serving prison sentences - even though the pages will never make clear whether they were convicted of activities related to the club.

- Ralph "Sonny" Barger, co-founder of the division of the Hells Angels in Oakland, California, has always maintained good contacts with the media, but it served a federal sentence of imprisonment of four years on charges of conspiring to blow up headquarters of a rival motorcycle club.

In his book "Angels of Death: Inside the Bikers Empire of Crime," the authors William Marsden and Sher Julius portray the Hells Angels as an organization whose members murdered other bikers, police and people who have nothing to do with the group. "And not to mention the hundreds of thousands of ruined lives, destroyed the brains and bodies damaged by methamphetamine, cocaine and other drugs that motorcyclists traffic. And yet, although the number of unidentified bodies stop growing, Sonny Barger, patriarch of the club in California and an international leader of Hells Angels, was cherished by the international media while promoting his latest best-seller "[source: Marsden and Sher ].

Not surprisingly, the group claiming the record, that is chased by police and federal agencies due to lifestyle and non-conformist beliefs of its members.

The club promotes charity events, such as a program that collects toys for children. The main site of Hells Angels, what the club views as the burden of their situation is summarized by the phrase: "When we do well, no one remembers, when we act badly, no one forgets."

Thus, the Hells nothing but a bunch of gangsters vehicles and glorified by the media or is indeed a fraternity of individuals in a free spirit who likes to travel in their noisy Harleys? Maybe a little of both. And, starting modestly in California's post-World War II.

Nice article. The Hells Angels started out with good intentions that went bad. Now they hide behind the Flag and appear to do good in their communities,when it is a mask for the drugs. etc.

I would have to assume that they dont want ppl with "nothing to lose" or ppl who "would do anything" because you have nothing to offer ,your whores and can be used readaly but also you have no loyalty or morals ,i bet you'd fold on your own mama in 15sec,also i heard (much like the military) they recruit under 30y old) i myself would love to be a member of such a well respected brotherhood,but theres lots of stuff i wouldent do because i am a man of respect ,hey im not afraid to get my hands dirty,but how could you ever trust someone who "would do anything" yeah im just a lone-wolf after all,i stood alone when i needed back up ,i took my beats when i had it coming ,you will never be anything but a bitc* if you have no standards,,,but like i said i can only assume...lol also i live in calgary alberta,how the hell can one get 20,000k a year on a bike up here ,,ride in the snow lol...not this snow my simple friends,,,,,also for the haters out there ,,drugs are here because ppl wont stop using them, i would much rather the angels handle it then those other "groups" that open fire in the streets at the drop of a hat like monkeys with guns,,,not that im implying that the H.A. are drug dealers ,im just responding to the hype posted above........live to ride forever

futhermore i know there is a black angel and also an asian angel, and all the ayran's i met are so quick to turn on eachother i cant imagine a club so organized and respected as the angels could be silly enuf to dirrectly or openly deal with those ...ppl,dont get me wrong im proud as hell to be white,and that is so important in these times where whites are the only openly and acceptedly discriminated race in canada,oops im ranting lol,well what are blogs for anyway ha,,,what i would like to bring to the table if i were a member or a prospect would be positive ,just think for a sec. what great things they could do for the world with there numbers and devotion,lets turn this world for the better with our rebelious spirits ,i have a dream that one day i will be judged by the quality of my character not the length of my hair or the decible level of my bike,,,shi* maybe im not such a lone-wolf after all,the fire of leadership burns hot in my belly,..are we outlaws,,or are we freedom fighters in a world where we all must drive the same cars and wear the same clothes to be "a good person worthy of respect" stand up for freedom or bend over .......also helmet laws suck,,Jadecon1@gmail.com if you got something to say to me

I've been a Harley owner and avid motorcyclist since 1968. Loud pipes don't save lives, they do however attract attention by Law Enforcement Officers(LEO). I've actually modified my stock pipes with the ability to be stealth.

First, there are no black or female HA. To join you have to be sponsored by a member. So start hanging out where they do. After a few months or years you might become a "prospect "(not a "candidate"). Later the local chapter will vote and if you get in you get a "full patch" (not "badge". Once in a member is expected to dedicate his life to the Club and back up his "brothers" to the death, right or wrong.

First and foremost you "wannabes" need to return to some sort of adult education. The majority of the posts here contain an astounding number of spelling and gramatical errors. How could you be of any use to the organization other than brute muscle?

Posting online saying that you would like to be HA clearly shows that you probably aren't qualified for it. It's not like a HA luitenant is going to email you saying : join!
