An Important Part Of Counterculture
The Hells Angels went on to be a huge part of the counterculture movement in the ’60s, in California and other states. In the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where they often attended social and music events, they were great. Several members, such as Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, Jerry Garcia, the Rolling Stones, the Merry Pranksters, the Grateful Dead, and more, we’re also associated with leading figures in art and music.

They Do Not Enjoy The Bad Reputation
The Hells Angels and some other motorcycle clubs regard themselves as a one-percent biker club. The phrase went all the way back 50 years ago. It operates on the saying that one percent of troublemakers give all the other bikers a bad name. This must separate them from the negative stereotypes surrounding motorcycle gangs and the Hells Angels, in particular. Over the years, however, several members have been convicted of various charges such as selling drugs and even murder.
