Hells Angels Supporter Club

Confession time yet again. Somewhere inside me lurks a sixteen year old girl who loved the look and sound of motorcycles and when I stumbled across this group, she got excited enough to pull me in. The group offers a truly fascinating view into the world of bikers in general and Hells Angels in particular. A considerable amount of discussion is for instance devoted to the ethics of whether it's okay to park a Japanese bike next to a Harley. Opinions are shared to the exploits of Jay Dobyns who chronicled his infiltration of a Hells Angels chapter, leading to the evalution by one knowledgable group member of several other books on bikers and Hells Angels. There are some of the expected threads such as 'Favourite kind of Bike', 'ANY ADVISE ON THE BEST WAY TO GET A HAWG OF MY OWN? BUILD OR BUY?' and 'A Biker's Prayer' and also various posts on biker and Hells Angels related news items. Some posts are about as gritty and as real and as hardcore as bikers get. I just hope they won't kill or break anything just because I had the gall to include them within the ranks of Facebooks most interesting groups.

What's great about this group: In my opinion the best facebook groups are those that open up a tiny window into a world not normally glimpsed by outsiders.

A word of caution: Do not try to fake your way in. They don't like posers.
