See, I’m fortunate that I get around a lot because of my movie business.

Like I said, when I was a kid, they inspired me.

I belonged to another club, and liked the camaraderie.

If the challenge to fight was there, I always took it.

Then we have a World Run, where representatives from all the charters meet.

Let me tell you something: I have members in my charter who, after paying their rent and house bills and taking care of their families, don’t even have enough money left over to pay the fifteen dollars a week dues.

Not exactly hit them, but I’ve restrained a few people.

So from an angry lawman’s mouth, the Outlaw Motorcyclists were born.

There was no club but the Hells Angels as far as I was concerned.

I was a stuntman for over fifteen years.

There’s probably about 150 charters in the world. We’re the biggest international club there is.

You get to know them, they get to know you and see if they like you. Then they’ll vote on you to become a prospect. You have to be sponsored by a Hells Angel.

Sonny and another Hells Angel who was at the meeting thought they were beyond a little patch so they headed down to a local tattoo shop in Oakland and were the first to get the famous One Percent tattoos.

Now as far as the organization selling drugs, no. Individuals selling drugs is something else.

So if one, or two, or a handful of guys sells drugs for their own personal gain and profit who just so happens to be a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, we want that same consideration.

I’m in California a lot; I go overseas sometimes and I meet more Hells Angels than other Angels do.

When I was old enough to ride a motorcycle and got my license, I bought a ’69 Sportster.

So it just goes to show you that it was always the Hells Angels first. They were the originals and all other clubs try and imitate what the Hells Angels have already done.

I’ve been fighting my whole life.
