LEARN MOREDuring their 72 years, the Hells Angels have created over 230 chapters in 26 countries. As the largest motorcycle club in the world, the Hells Angels have made many friends and rivals. Most of these are other biker groups worldwide.
Some motorcycle clubs have influenced the Hells Angels’ rules and done business with them. Others hate them so much that they started biker wars. One even managed to get into multiple fights with Hells Angels during its short five-year life. Here is a complete list of the Hells Angels’ allies and enemies.
Bandidos Are Long-Standing Rivals Of The Hells Angels
The Bandidos Motorcycle Club is the second-largest club behind Hells Angels, with over 2,000 members across 22 countries. They are also long-standing rivals of Hells Angels. The skirmish began in the 1990s when the Bandidos expanded into France, where Hells Angels chapters already existed.
According to the FBI, the Bandidos are one of the “big four” crime motorcycle gangs, along with the Outlaws and Hells Angels. Oddly enough, the Bandidos are quite similar to Hells Angels, having a strict hierarchy and riding mainly Harley Davidsons.
The Galloping Goose Created Many Of Hells Angels’ Rules
When the Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club formed in 1942, it was initially a Los Angeles racing team. Eventually, they grew into an outlaw club that covered the entire U.S.A. Galloping Goose invented many of the structures that motorcycle clubs still follow today.
The Galloping Goose participated in the 1947 Hollister Rally, where hundreds of motorcycles gathered in Hollister, California. This significantly contributed to the future formation of the Hells Angels. When the meeting broke out into a series of fights, it became known as the Hollister Riot.
The Mongols And Hells Angels Had The Deadliest Biker War
Since the Mongols Motorcycle Club first began in 1969, it has grown to represent over 2,000 members in ten countries. They are a long-time enemy of the Hells Angels. National Geographic considered their biker war to be the deadliest in history.
In America, the violent rivalry has been going on since 2002. The two groups got into fatal brawls in 2002, 2007, and two in 2008. The feud spread to Germany when a Mongols group opened up in Cologne, where a Hells Angels chapter already existed.
The Red Devils, Hells Angels’ Puppet Club
The Red Devils are not an independent motorcycle club; they are a support club for the Hells Angels. Police call them a “puppet club.” Unlike the original Red Devils Club, which was founded in 1941, this support club was created in 2001.
Today, the Red Devils have chapters in nearly 20 countries. Members have been caught working with the Hells Angels on money laundering, sting operations, and attacks on rival clubs such as the Bandidos.
The Quebec Biker Wars: Rock Machine Vs. Hells Angels
The motorcycle club Rock Machine first appeared in Montreal, Canada, in 1986. Its founder, Salvatore Cazzetta, was once a friend of the Hells Angels. The two groups got involved in one of history’s most brutal motorcycle feuds, the Quebec Biker Wars.
The Quebec Biker Wars began in 1994 when the Hells Angels and Rock Machine fought over a substance distribution monopoly. This led to a series of vicious battles that continued until 2002. After, the Hells Angels’ Quebec chapters disbanded, although the groups are still rivals.
The Hessians Do Deals With Hells Angels
The Hessians Motorcycle Club first started in Southern California in 1968. Like Hells Angels, the Hessians prefer to ride Harley Davidsons. According to the Department of Justice, the Hells Angels and Hessians have been doing deals with each other since 1991.
