Hells Angels

I ran across a clip of some old Hells Angels footage on Chop Cult. Watching the clip, set to Freebird, I realized that I'm a sucker for the idea of the Angels. Specifically, in love with the idea of the freedom that they had in the 60s. Just a bunch of guys looking out for one another, riding their bikes, having a good time. Yeah, some Angels were involved in some pretty crazy stuff but it seems that at the heart of everything the Angels were all a part of the club because they loved bikes. It's so easy to romanticize the Angels because their image really helped to cement into the average American what a biker was. How can you not want to be a part of something like that? Watch the clip and you'll see where I'm coming from.
