Collecting Hells Angels memorabilia isn't for the meek

- Опубликовано: 19 май 2021
- Collector Bo Bushnell has been gathering biker gang memorabilia for years, including numerous Hells Angels jackets, documents, patches and photographs. As he’s learned, it’s not an easy, or safe, thing to do. But even death threats haven't stopped him from doing what he sees as important work.

That's some very nice engineering and fabrication on those ZIPPOs.
400 hours. It should tell jokes
@@DBizzie24 it will once you’re high lol 😂
no its bad engineering ,,you burn your thumb!!! needs to turn ..
Someone needs to make those
@@richardhayward9483 bruh its not a bic, you dont have to keep your thumb there
This guy has more Hells Angel Memorabilia then Hells Angels do.
... And that tells some kind of truth.
He doesn't but ok
I doubt that.
@Your Name The true modern day Hell's Angels (soliders) have a shelf life just like milk...they may last a couple of months but in the end everything turns sour and the lucky ones just fade away...the corporate Hell's Angels just keep selling their bullshit made in China and racking up that paper...Drugs, sex slaves and lawlessness is just a cowards way of life, no morals, no values and hardly anything to aspire to. The originals were WW2 vets that got used to the adrenaline rush of facing death on a daily basis...men of war that were no longer fit for "polite society" and had no where to vent their PTSD...but those guys did not try to cripple the country they fought for by pimping out their buddies daughters or selling dope to kids.
@Your Name he likely has far more rare memorabilia than any club...
Usually these one-percenter clubs don't let anything with their logos on it get out to the public, so how this guy was able to acquire all this stuff is rather mind-boggling. It also makes him a target too, and going through life constantly looking over your shoulder is no way to live.
@Nate Upson Even if it can get you killed?
He's explained on his IG page more than once that many of the items he's received are from old timers that felt their clubs had forgotten or had forsaken them.
@@seabasssimpson4547 He is still playing with fire.
He explains all of this in the video. Yes, he’s received death threats. And he mostly got the items from EX members who felt they earned the memorabilia and it wasn’t the clubs to have
@@IRoYaILTY That is all fine and nice, I grew up around the HA's and have seen first hand what they are capable of. I am not saying if it is right or wrong I am just stating fact.
City I lived in years ago, had a Chapter across from where we lived. Everyone in the area knew it. Barricaded and fortified like Fort Knox with security cameras. Never once did we have cars vandalized, houses broken into or any trouble at all. Those guys kept to themselves and were always polite to all older people in the neighborhood when leaving their Clubhouse. They had a bad rep' nationally, but the folks who lived on the same street never had a bad word against them.
Did you know they were the crowd control for the first Woodstock?
@@thehobo-tographer7652 Nope, Didn't know that.
There’s a clubhouse in my neighborhood too. We notice something odd.. seems like it’s could be an underground gay night club too.
That's quite common. They don't want to attract any complaints from the neighbours or it will draw heat. I knew a guy from a gang I won't name. Helped him out just like I would any other neighbour. Even wandered into their clubhouse one day to give him posters for his lost dog. You have to keep them at arms length though. He's inside now, got busted for supplying meth.
Al Capone also had neighbors that minded their own business...as did the Mafia crime families of New York....just a bunch of loveable ole knuckleheads...just like the Crips and the Bloods of South central LA...just boys being boys...WTFE
That zippo is bad ass.

Am I getting high on the lighter fumes or weed ?

@@jackedkerouac4414 hha
@@ericblair7357 Yes.
The Motorcycle clubs should be greatfull that someone has saved pieces of Art and history for the world to see and appreciate and it hasn't ended up destroyed.
MC clubs are buried with their colors, choppers, and anything else they had club related. And if it don't go with them it's saved and put in the club houses or worn by other brothers!..
That's mc property
@@daleestep9518 But great that the public has the opportunity to see it. The clubs won't let outsiders see this history.
@@daleestep9518 Apparently not.
@@sparkplug2646 Yeah when they aren't ratting each other out to loosen their sentences. "Brotherhood" is BS
I think the clubs should appreciate what he's doing. I think these objects belong in a museum and collection for all to see and appreciate. The designs and patchwork and zippos are incredible. I'm not in a club or no anyone who is- so to me seeing this stuff makes me appreciate what they've built as a club and it showcases them positively. Marketing is everything.
Why is HE collecting it? His Instagram page is very disrespectful to all this stuff. He’s also got another page full of crip and blood stuff. I hope they all find this creep.
@@demonhd8437 bro cause its still history who gives af
@@cykablyat114 uh the clubs he’s disrespecting lol duh
No… the history belongs to the club
@@demonhd8437 whoever said that they deserve respect? What have they done to deserve it?
They should be happy this guy is preserving their heritage and making the world aware of the honor and amazing artwork.
"Making the world aware" is the LAST thing organized crime wants. I mean everyone knows who they are, but the official word is always "we are legit, crime is for bad guys".
What amazing work? Selling meth to kids
@@kittycatcat6962 “artwork” there pussycat. Artwork. Take it easy.
If your getting Everything sent to you’re

I don't think the HA members care if he collects memorabilia. It would only turn into an issue if he started rocking it or using it in a disrespectful manner. Just a guess.
@@thebunkreport I’m a H.A member from Northern California . There’s more to him then just this video, where there’s conflict from other issues. That once again weren’t in this video. We will leave it at that.
@@norcalkid3664 Oh Ok. Gotcha. Wasn't aware of all that.
Lmaooooo 😂 💀 my exact thought..
How are y'all allowing a *NERD* to have such precious items that rightfully belong to y'all tho 🤔🤷♂️??
This collection is by far one of the most impressive and interesting I’ve seen.
Very impressive collection. The Zippo lighters are amazing. Some beautiful work and real craftsmanship has gone into them.
Amazing collection. The clubs should be honored your collection is so well preserved and with back stories and the blessing of the items owner. This is a museum.
Why should they be honored? They're murderers.
That lighter is some spec op shit
Someone needs to document the lifestyle for what it was
It’s changed since then is a timeless statement
Hunter S. Thompson did.
@@maxprime6452 Thompson wrote his book, which was a difficult thing to research, but if the HA clubs aren't collecting & saving the items floating around out there then it's good this collector is.
It hasn't changed. He is not a Hells Angel and is frightened of them. He doesnt know what the club is like.
@@shirleywilliams5397 He knows. The HA history is every person's worst nightmare and then some, and the reasons for that have been well-documented. He has certainly received death threats. I don't know why he does not believe the HA organization would not make good on those threats.
@@maxprime6452
Thompson was a renowned liar.....He was called out time after time by the HA for the weird crap he would say............Among other writers he was envied for his talent for making shit up and finding a editor who would pay for it.
If you are looking to read something entertaining, go for it. But if you think you are reading something you can believe, not a chance.....
Dude really had to call his place RICO of all things

Not a good name
A few years ago , I found someone selling a box of Biker memorabilia , at work. I asked them where it came from and why they were selling it. They belonged to a member of the San Jac Chapter of the High Rollers MC. When I was a Kid I knew someone that had been a member of that Chapter, so I picked up the entire Box, and out of respect returned them, to the Chapter. That's Club property. I know this and I am not even a Biker. Good luck to you.
This is probably the most unique collection of American culture.
what about the Henry Ford Living Museum?
Motorcycle culture
Gives dragonman a run for his money
Organized crime memorabilia
@@lorax1986 wait, he's not even close to the level dragoman is on... lets not get to hasty.
Very impressive. At least he is respectful and preserving the collection.
It's a piece of history.
he doesnt have to hide because he is respectful, he is just a rich bully who hides behind cops.
I knew a kid who stole a couple rings from a hells angel member. The hell's angels told the kid to return the rings and they would let it go. He went to return the rings, and was found the next day, beaten to death on some local railroad tracks.
Are you saying the Hell's Angels are liars?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH No I'm saying they killed a kid I know
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH meth addicts usually are lol
What a bunch of swell guys 🙄
I've heard some interesting stories. One guy was being a loud mouth at a bar, claiming he was tight with the HA and bragging a lot. Someone made a call and he had a rough time by the end of the night. A friend of mine became an H.A. haven't heard from him in years
What an excellent collection IMO. I hope all has been documented and archived. Keep up the interesting work. Many Biker Clubs have been around for decades and I would think would like to documented in history with interesting memorabilia.
The Merry Prankster tie-in on the HA patch is definitely one of a kind. That Zippo is bad-ass, too.
pig pen from the Grateful Dead ....
My grandfather was one of the original that created the them, out of World War II his club name was Pappy, I got to meet Homer when my grandfather passed. They were from San Bernardino. Thank you for sharing this it brought back memories.
Familiar names and stories 🤘
He's treating everything with the highest respect.
Well that was a video that could have easily lasted at least two or more (much more) hours.
I have a good bit of this from when my dad died, they came through my town to ride after his passing. Much love brothers
maybe you should let the guy in the vid see what you have?
@@gregdahlen4375 no, I plan on burying it with him at his grave on his birthday on the 4th next month. It took me alot to get this stuff out of the hands of my other family members. He told me lots of stories and that alone showed what they meant to him so I feel it's only right.
@@greatpirateroberts1669 your going to dig it up?
@@rubberneck9680 well he is a dread pirate
Wow very nice someone keeping the memory of bike clubs alive. I no they still are around but it's nice seeing what they started with. The zippo lighters part was awesome. The craftsmanship the jeweler/ artist had was second to none.... thanks for sharing. Knowledge is power
I dig your passion for history, brother. I'm the Historian for Wrightsville Borough, Pa. and my thing is the Civil War, but I love all history, good deed.
Ahh San Bernardino. One of my favorite quotes: “there’s 3 billion people on the planet, and you’re gonna tell me you found your soulmate in San Bernardino???”
3 billion on the planet? Must be a quote from the civil war, lol. Just yankin your chain, that's a funny quote, I assume from a movie?

Wow this is so cool. Bo has done a great job at collecting all the memorabilia and parts of history. Always been fascinated with outlaw biker clubs and specifically the US and Califronia ones
He isn't flying those, He's displaying them. The clubs should be proud of it , he not disrespecting. Ought to create a pay museum to benefit all bikers.
@Pollywog how is that not logic? It’s a private club and this is their items and history and their friends shit that they have had custom made and know the stories behind. Why would they want some random ass nerd hoarding it away?
@@PlutoTheGod You make a good point man. I guess if it's there they can decide if they want it displayed. Neat shit though!
No, it’s club property
Its good to see you preserving these prizes...and have the ball's to do so..keep it up and watch your back....
I can see the importance of this collection! That Pan Head is a beautiful machine! And the art work speaks for itself and the zippos are just out of this world time and place!!
@David Davison you are full of urself aren't you! What has Harley Davidson done to you?? Or zippo lighters?? Are you one of those tight pants wearing liberals? And I know ur too young for Hitler to have done anything to you? Did a biker take the luv of ur life and he used a cool zippo lighter to light his cigarette? And was he wearing a German war patch of some kind?? I do hope one day you get over it!
I am a 73 year old Woman! I dated at one time the President of The Nam Vets motor cycle club. They and there Women were very good hearted human beings I had a career that kept me clean of everything which I would not have had it any other way. U could not be more wrong and u seem very angry and or hurt by my comments? Something hit a nerve! So u and Ur twisted way of thinking can go straight too hell u I'll mannered miserable waste of life!
@ David Davison. Sounds like your opinions of other people are based on fictional tv shows like Sons of Anarchy and Gangland. Here's a fact. You don't know squat.
@David Davison hah! Gramma schooled you, girlfriend!
U know where to get the lighter with a pipe?
Honestly, the engineering on that zippo is insane considering it's handmade.
Lengthy prison terms have a way of making a man do crazy things, many of which can be useful as is in the case of that lighter
That skateboard is a really rare and special item and the story behind it is pretty incredible.
this is really interesting, wish they showed more of it. to me, it would be cool to actually have this as a part of museum.
That is the craziest collection I've ever seen. That guy has to be paranoid all the damn time tho.
Nah, they're pretty much a joke nowadays. They dont let their members wear the patch anymore except for special outings because they're scared of being hassled. Nowadays it's a bunch of posers trying to be different and all the OGs are passing away or rolling in their graves. Also it most certainly is not a mixed race club in the south east. There are zero black Hells Angel's here and the only actual racists I've ever met were in the club here.
@@TheMuddman74 Yeah, did you call them a bunch of posers to their face? No of course not, that would be stupid. Why do that when you can just say it online anonymously and not get the shit kicked out of you?
@@johnnymontana2536 Spoiler alert he wouldn’t and never will.
@@cortc3177 🤣🤣 u have no idea internet tough guy talking shit to a person you think is weak. What does that make you? SMH
Also please fact check me about most chapters not letting them wear the patch nowadays. Which one of yall knows one or more Angel's? If you did you would already know this. You dont.
Last year after getting my license at 16, I took my first solo day-trip to Tahoe from the San Francisco Bay Area. I saw about 20 Hells Angels passing between cars as a group in the mountains, even saw one or two of them riding back solo later in the evening.
What are you riding?
@@theodorebennett7938 I was riding in a Chevy Cruze.

It's a sight one doesn't forget. The sound of those machines in unison is simply badass. Their formations are tight, inches away from each other...they ride as one. Total solidarity.
@@chicoshovelhead one goes down they all go down 👊🏿
My uncle was a police officer in LAPDa and later moved to Burbank PD for the later part of his career in retirement he currently has patches from hells angels on his garage, as well as mongols and other gang memorabilia. He says their memories of the people he met not all bad ppl
How can I talk to him?

An amazing story, what a buzzz it would be to have the chance of seeing such a piece of history 💪 many thanks, Dave U.K 🏴 AFFA

@cloverleafsippa713 they don't want a museum
@@jamesporter6288 who cares. It's what I want that matters to me. Just saying...
A good friend that passed away few years ago once showed me a FBI (Wikipedia of sort) biker gang member encyclopedia from top to bottom. I new at first look that it was the real deal and was a priceless artifact then and this just reminded me . I’m guessing 1978 to 1982 only because as I ran the chapters I recognized two members ( not H/A ‘s) let’s just call them B charter and from a small town I grew up in .
The interesting back story my friend was 10 yrs older and was in the SanBern area during this time and was an acquaintances that circle and gave me lots of story’s but most of all educated me on the do’s ( very few) and the big Don’t’s
I have an old card that says "you were helped by your local hells angels" that was given to my grandma when she had a flat tire and they stopped to fix it
Respect Bro! Keep doin ya thing, been keepin tabs on your IG for a long fn time. Great stuff!
I want one of those zippos for research purposes

Imma use it to smoke my weed
Of course" multi purpose tool" 🤔wink wink back then that was so many felonies

Never thought I'd see anything like that. Well done my Man! That is a Very important collection. ♥️🤟👊🏼🙊🙉🙈
Awesome collection! Glad i found this guy!👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸 RIP Sonny!
Outstanding collection
and respectful way of documentation and showcase.
Generations of people have documented for history purposes all the way from displaying the Constitution to the battle of San Jacinto , World War II and so on and so forth.
This man seems to have no ill will towards the HA only an historic living documentary.
There will always be a certain aspect of the 1% that the public should not know about. Respectfully this is nothing more than a classic show piece of outlaw biker history.
Just like visiting Tombstone or Jesse James's burial site the Alamo or Abraham Lincoln's birthplace & home we will always be a people of continuing history and knowledge.
If he had an actual showroom that was open to the public I would definitely pay to go through it, see it, donate to it and respect it.
Glad someone has the time and energy to document this stuff!!
a Sunday ride
Followed this guy for quite some time. Really appreciate all of the work he has done and stories he has been able to share. Many straight from the mouth of those that lived it.
Great stuff - story so, keep shining from what you had in your mind and show to this world with pride SIR.
Respectful. Greeting from Bangkok.
Awesome Im glad your archiving those things. I rode with the outlaws a few times in the mid 80's wasn't for me though. To crazy
Man that Zippo almost made me wish I didn't quit drugs, just so I could take it for a spin.
Same here! I remember all the lovely things one could buy in the 1970's from High Times magazine..paraphernaloa wise, but those Zippos are absolute gems.
I need an hour long episode.
wow INCREDIBLE collection. really glad I stumbled upon this.
brilliant, keeping the memories alive, love to se this in a museum
“Tough guys” who can’t handle Responsibility, Marriage, Family life, Discipline, Work 5 days a week, or having enough self restraint or character to walk away from an insult or disrespectful word. “Tough”? They are children, punks, little boys with loud bikes. A tough spirit will outshine a tough-looking jacket any day.
Well ok there pops. You sound like you may have been punked out by one of these clubs. It’s ok your counselor will help you get better.
Yeah, just look at any Easy Riders or other mag from the "glory days". Rape, murder, drug dealing, and Nazi imagery. What a great bunch of guys.
@@lifeandliberty0172 'Imagery' was the whole point......to blow your mind. I guess it worked. And I don't recall any rape or Nazi bullshit in Easy Rider......just a couple dudes livin in the wrong time in history tryin to stay away from a society full of people that want to judge.....or generalize.
Josey Wailer he's talking about the mag not the movie
@Lynette Smith-Shapiro So then what's the point of being in a biker gang? Just to sit around and comment on how they all have slightly different motorcycles? Read any biker mag from back in the day. Drugs ,rape, Nazi memorabilia. Or how about hay big shootout, where, in Texas? A few years back...that's current history......they glamorize criminal and predatory behavior, always have. Always have, family men or not. And if you don't, why even bother being one? It's a subculture for morons and sociopaths. At least the guys back in the day didn't have day jobs. Now you're just talking about a bunch of lame O's who play rebel on the weekend then
go home to act semi normal. Haw!
This collection needs a museum to house it. Ps. Those Zippos look like they've held up in time better than the new ones mass produced.
No it all needs to go back to the club
Great collection. very impressive. My uncles had motorcycles ,one ran with patches, one was a lone wolf.They where bad ass veterans, 82nd airborne,not to be messed with. Can't wait to see them on the other side. 🇺🇸
He is the biggest 1% fan boy I've ever seen!
I was born in the hospital across the street from the first Hells Angels clubhouse in San Bernardino. I remember the stories my dad would tell me about partying with some of the members back then. Nothing bad ever happened, he said they were some of the nicest people too
When i was a kid you used to see them in san jose at the original house of pizza that was on azurais and bird avenue. Always seemed like happy dudes who just wanted to talk to pretty women and drink pitchers of beer. Im remembering this as a small kid mid 80s so maybe im putting the gleem of nostalgia on it but i used to love going to that place for birthday parties. Now that whole neighborhood is gonna be bulldozed for some mini google campus police state. Sad to see the old houses go for a bunch of out of town engineers from india.
Yeah, the Hells Angels are one of the nicest groups of people you’ll ever meet. All that talk of murder, extortion, racketeering, drug trafficking, illegal arms sales, Drug manufacturing, robbery, Should never detract away from how nice they are.
I love how outlaws don't conform by all wearing the exact same clothes. So rad!
Some put their patches on either flannel, denim or leather. The patches are the only conformity quality, otherwise they wear whatever they want underneath that. Even all their helmets are personalized.
@@Rahab111222 But they all wear flannel, leather or denim. Like a uniform.
It is pretty ridiculous how many here that seem to look up to a bunch of aging men trying their hardest to come off as hardasses.
I was watching a documentary about Howard Hughes, and in it was clips from the movie HELLS ANGELS ,I noticed that on the credit it had a copyright number I wonder if the copyright was valid for use of the name way back when the 2wheeled crook's started using it and can it be removed from them by the current owner's of Howard Hughes estate or companies maybe worth a peek
Yep post it all up on RUclips so the MC can see all the stuff you have. People's want to show off now a days is amazing.
Awesome! Would love to see more of their jewellery
He is archiving these clubs and giving them history. The fact they are mad just shows ignorance on their part. I am sure the actual founders would be proud to be honored and remembered in a museum.
Noo its that non members shouldn't have their property that people died or is currently in prison for.
Remember 81 Gives what they Get!
@@kingtt4724 he is not trying to represent or disrespect them. He is honoring and archiving them. Maybe they should work together with an understanding that some of the coveted gear is on loan to the museum.
You are absolutely correct. He realizes the cultural significance of these groups in modern American culture and is documenting it via a collection of material artifacts, same as a museum. The ones who don't grasp this are intentionally obtuse or just too stupid to understand the cultural significance of what he is doing.
But that’s not a museum.
The Judge was my friend and Lawyer. He was once a sitting Judge of Auburn Ca . I have know idea how you got that engine and the rest of his stuff. He would never have parted with that , in his right mind…
Someday the clubs will thank this man for for saving all this history.
Wow, he should release a book of this stuff with the history behind it… awesome!
I have an autographed book by Sonny Barger and a picture that I took with him when I used to ride.
How much did it cost to ride with sonny ?
and that book isn't worth a 💩.. it just became worthless..
Now this guy is going to hunt you relentlessly 😂
That's an awesome collection. I'd love to see it. The zippo has to be the coolest piece
The emblem reminds me of my Bigelow family head stones back in New York.. actually met Kelly one of the original HELLS KIDS...
In the 80's my 'Chopper' was an OR50. I was the one in the gang with all the dead-flies on the back of his helmet! 💪⚔️🇬🇧

What chapter buddy using somebody's account
Wow my hat's off to you bro that's an amazing collection maybe one day the club will realize how important and valuable this is and thank you for doing this you can tell how passionate you are just by your safe that you have the stuff in geez..
That's hands down the best drug paraphernalia ever! All those Zippos were incredible but that multi tool Zippo was over the moon crazy awesome, damn I love it!!!
My family from early 1970 has been a part of people who keep my family safe I am from Nova Scotia Canada my family I love and miss
Amazing collection, even has skateboard deck from Real that they had to stop making and I think they were told not nicely to either destroy them or hand them over the to the HA.
I'd say that ownership of such contentious items, those unofficial items particularly, would be the source of great chagrin. Many not happy folks.
My friend in the Dago charter has one that he had hanging up in his tattoo shop for years. They were done pretty well.
Is being a museum curator really worth possibly being murdered?
Possibly?
Get all the film and negatives converted as soon as you can, celluloid becomes unstable and more flammable with age. great video and thanks for showing.

Pretty neat. This guy has an Instagram I've been following for years. Pretty cool study.
says the pipe is for “tobacco” but openly says “coke spoon”

As a former member of an outlaw motorcycle club, I can say this man definitely knows his stuff. I left the Clublife in. 04.
When I lived in San Jose CA there was a house very near a cloverleaf and freeway that was a Hells Angels chapter. It used to sit pretty much by itself, and they flew a H.A. flag so apparently had no worries about advertising. I haven't been back for years and assumed all of the new high-density housing that went in forced them out. I just looked on google maps and it's still there - I know because it's blurred out - which you can do for your property. I guess they're not going to be moving any time soon!
Sounds like it could be rife with counterfeit artifacts. I used to find this kind of stuff all the time in trunks of cars in my auto salvage business.
Where there assorted bones inside the clothing?
I get only members should have club gear but idk why any club would have a problem with this. Totally respectful and telling the story of the history of the club. History is important.
That guy has special patience to have these things displayed in such a manner, then to be put in that safe, and not just thrown in like the way I would have done it.
Hey man, thanks for sharing this. Very cool collection.
There’s a lot of money in that place, and history. He’s smart to stay off the radar... facts.
He’s off the radar because he’s dealt with clubs in some fashion. On some level he understands all this stuff under one roof could be seen and is seen as disrespectful to the various organizations it comes from. With that said this stuff needs to procured and protected because it’s eventually going to be an extremely big deal that it even exists the way things are going
@@redneckwithajeep5001 you are you completely wrong. It isn’t because of different clubs having stuff under one roof. It’s because all of that stuff belongs to the club. And him 100% not being a member he’s extremely ballsy possessing that stuff. Now, if it were just shirts or stickers that said “support your local red and white “ that would be different.
@@Sir_Vex_DestroyerOfSemenDemons Copywriting of logos is one thing.... but how ya going to bury someone with their scoot?

@@ducatipaso1386 I’m confused at your reply. The club owns all those patches. So even if you are a patched in member, you do not own that patch. The club does. You can’t just have a bunch of death heads In your house if you aren’t a member

It wasn’t because he has different club property under one roof, it’s because he doesn’t own the shit he has, stay with me here, it is the CLUBS PROPERTY. As in, they own it. Again, if the stuff that he had in his possession was stuff that said “support your local red and white”, that’s one thing. You can go to any website as a normal person and buy support gear, stickers, shirts etc. but, as a non member you can’t just wear a death head around. IT HAS TO SAY SUPPORT ON IT, in order to wear it. He can respect the history all he wants to. He does not own the stuff! The club does, and him not being a member, the club (I’m talking HA in particular) takes that shit extremely serious. Again, you can be a fully patched member, and you still do not own the patch you wear. THE CLUB DOES, and they can take it from you whenever they want to!
All they gotta do is get your info through the producers to collect their stuff back. Give them their stuff back man.
One day. He's got no right to it
Give who the stuff back? Some of these clubs aren't even around anymore.
My dad rode with the Hells Angels back in the day. He wasn’t a member he just had friends in the group. He wasn’t in any biker gangs. Anyway, my mom lived in a trailer park when I was small and daddy would stay over at times they would all be drinking and playing cards etc. there was always motorcycles at our house. I guess my dad pissed off some bikers and they come through the park and shot up moms trailer luckily none of us got hit. But that trailer still sits there to this day and the bullet holes still in it. Grandpa tried filling them in but you can still see them. I’m 54 now and I was probably 3-4 years old then. The memories of dad and his biker buddies such great memories. Other than shooting up the trailer 😂
