Thank you for visiting our website. Hells Angels SFV was founded Jan 1st of 1978. We are very proud of our heritage as this charter was originally the Satans Slaves M/C. We still have active charter members in SFV that go back in the Slaves as far as the mid 60's.
Thanks to Trilby for the tip
Are Satan's Slaves and Straight Satans 2 different gangs, or did they just use different names for the same gang?
ReplyDeleteDon't know anything about biker clubs, but I've heard this explained to LAPD by one of the Straight Satans members. The Straight Satans and Satan Slaves were 1% clubs. They were different clubs, but they, along with a few other clubs, all worn 1% patches and wouldn't fight among eachother. So they were different but somewhat united
ReplyDeleteInteresting...some original members are still around. Patty'd love to be a fly on the wall...
ReplyDeleteSo, am I to gather that the Hell's Angels is like Vonnegut's RAMJAC corporation, eating up everything in it's path?
ReplyDeleteThey are the biggest and most notorious. Everyone knows The Angels: a mark of legitimacy and authenticity like Levi's, Frisbee and Coca Cola. Sort of.
ReplyDeleteSatan's Slaves were patched over, helping to grow the SFV chapter. There are additional chapters in San Bernadino and Ventura, as well as several more throughout California.
ReplyDeleteWhile the HA's are the most recognizable, their main rivals are the Mongols, the Pagans, and a few others.
Has anybody watched the video at the bottom of the page?
ReplyDeleteWow Matt and I were just discussing Straight Satans in my younger days almost made the mistake of Patching in to Jersey chapter of the Pagans decided I value my freedom to much couldn't do time alot of cool things online about Strait Satans and Danny Decarlo
ReplyDeleteBack in the day I was a patch holder in a 1% club. The 1% means more than the usual explanation we hear about the 99% being law abiding motorcyclist and 1% being criminals. Most outlaw clubs that aren't 1% clubs are support clubs of 1% clubs. A 1% club supports no club but themselves. Example, if I wanted to start a new club I would have to go to the dominant 1% club in my area and get permission. If I didn't have permission I would expect to get 'shut down'. Getting shut down could be anything from just getting your patches taken to being taxed. Taxed usually means you're getting an ass kicking and being forced to sign over you motorcycle.
ReplyDeleteI was there for the partying and the girls. I was only there for about a year. When I found out the truth about the lifestyle I also valued my freedom and got out.
To add to my above post, some support clubs are expected to dirty work for the 1% club that they support. Some support clubs are expected to pay dues to the 1% club that they support.
ReplyDeleteI never quite fit in with the biker crowd, but I was once chased by the Twin Rivers moped gang in the 8'th grade...
ReplyDeleteI had a burgundy Puch Maxi-Luxe,and I was quite a site to see cruising around the neighborhood at top speeds of 35MPH in my black members only jacket and my Ray Ban Wayfarers..
My parents wouldn't let me get a tatoo though
:)
Good one Saint..... lol
ReplyDeleteNever afraid to embrace my inner twerp :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the video by the way Matt- interesting choice of music in the background, but it worked for me
ReplyDeletemy neighbors are three patch bikers nice people
ReplyDeleteHow to be in a moped gang
ReplyDeletelololol
ReplyDeletenow that is funny, except that kid looks much tougher than I did...
Add bangs and freckles- you get the idea
Names for moped gangs:
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking moped gang names as a rule must be pseudo-gay
Ped-O-Philes
bropeds
ped zeppelin
Half-Fast
The Winona Riders
I'm stone cold sober, so they are lame. Sorry.
How 'bout Pedal Pushers MC
ReplyDeleteBy the way Matt, I really did laugh out loud at Bropeds......
ReplyDeleteI was speaking to a friend Bandito- well an excoworker- about the Straight Satans and the Satan's Slaves and he told me they dissolved into the Hell's Angels. I thought he was talking out of his ass- maybe he was- but it seems to be true, at least for the Satan's Slaves.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I was at a taco stand in Hemet, California, and had just ordered, when the Satan's Slaves rolled in for lunch. There were maybe 40 of them, ranging in age from their early 20s to a couple who were possibly in their 70s. I was surprised how clean-cut and non-threatening they were, relatively speaking. One of them held the door open for me when I left with my order. I briefly considered asking them if they had any good Charlie stories, but (probably wisely) decided not to.
ReplyDeletemy dad was in the straight Satan's they sure as hell did not fall in with the hells angels..they were 1% so that makes no sense they were one of the first real established mc's out there my uncles "or club brothers" were good men my dad was as well..and backed there shit up to the fullest...I went too many funerals as a young girl..from rival gangs attacks..my pops hes the president of another club...my name sake Christoper im Christina died the day i was born basically the original 1% killed each other off some remain few riding in the wind.
ReplyDeleteok my dad was a original founder of the straight Satan's. They are most defiantly not the same club. I can assure you the straight Satan's did not join up with the hells angels. I can tell you as a young girl i went to many funerals from rivals gangs killing members..(they killed each other off in time)im sure they had funerals as well...some of the original 1% Satan's went to prison. those that are alive are few. The right to be called a 1% member is earned not just gained cause you join a MC with 1% in there history...i want to say these are good men and its a subculture you cant understand unless you live it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in, OG. What Patty appreciates about biker culture is that they seem to have a very strong code of ethics and behavior. It is much different from that of the mainstream, but Patty does believe that bikers can be honorable people. Peace.
ReplyDelete@ogmajik please email me patrickbateman at aol dot com i have pics of darlene and christopher for you

ReplyDeleteAnyone know lil John w. He rode a purple pan when in sfv chapter .last I knew of him he was in Canoga park calif
ReplyDeleteUm the slaves are active in the UK
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that.. But I doubt they can help me
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to find out information about an incident that occurred in the early or mid 60s in Rowland Heights, but probably called Puente back then. A group of bikers and their wives/girlfriends lived in home on Pocatello Ave. A neighbor who lived their during that time said they wore balls and chains on their ankles. They were finally evicted after many complaints with the neighbors. My father read an article in the local newspaper about an incident involving Satan's Slaves bikers that lived there. One of them went to where they were building homes, and a security guard shot and killed one of them. Does anyone know or remember anything about the bikers that lived on Pocatello Ave. during the 60s?
ReplyDeleteRichard Klein, I do! He became a very good friend of mine after the club.
ReplyDeleteHI KATIE! Matt, patty, saint and everyone else. Great to be back

I was member of a 1% club for a couple years a long time ago. The incident about the ball and chain...... I suspect that either it's made up OR these guys were not patch holders with any 1% club. Despite what those TV documentaries tell us most outlaw and 1% patch holders are expected to treat their women with respect. Basically, if you can't give your wives and girlfriends safety and security you are considered useless to that club and you'd probably and you'd most likely get a warning and if it keeps on happening they'll pull your patch. Another possibility is that it was an incident involving some kinky stuff they were all into. In that subculture sexually abusing or raping a woman will get you beat up, patch taken, and taxed (forced to sign over your motorcycle pink slip to the club. It's considered barely a cut above child molestation in that life style.....

They patched over to the Pagans in a an area ruled by the Red And White?
If true I wonder what the thinking was there. In my opinion either they didn't think this one through or they were on some heavy duty drugs.....
I was very young and remember some Satan's Slaves from Pacoima. A dude named steve offenbacher was my mom's boyfriend...Anyone remember steve?
ReplyDeleteif anyone was in the Satan Slaves in late 60's 70, 71, and lived off Mulholland hwy, would love to talk to you, I'm working on a film a true story around that time, maybe you were one of the characters in this script, all good I can assure you, great music around that time as well.
ReplyDeleteMy Dad was a member of the slaves I remember him taking about mulhalland drive. His name was Blind Kenney. I'm also looking for my brother John his mom was Simone with a tattoo of property of blind Kenney. I'm 49 John would be 2 yrs older than me. Sadly my Dad was killed by a drunk driver in 2001 at 55 yrs old. blessings!!!!
DeleteAnyone know Wild Bill Satan Slaves Mulholland area back 69, 70s?
DeleteI was pretty young in the 60s and living on the border of Arleta and Mission Hills in the Valley and recall seeing Satan's Slaves members riding many times. I think we as kids heard and retold apocryphal stories of the Slaves doing crazy things. It was just one of those things growing up.
ReplyDeleteDave Tabor asked about lil John W, ya I knew him because we grew up together in Encino, he was my first cousin. He died of cancer in '78.
ReplyDeleteWas his last name Williams and was his mother Simone? He might have been my brother my dad was Blind Kenney of the slaves. My dad was killed in 01 by a drunk driver at aged 55. In Minnesota he moved cuz he refused to patch over. I do remember a guy named Dale and a last named Chris heften. My mom was Christine Maxwell. Blessings.
DeleteCorrection: lil John W died in 2003.
ReplyDeleteToo bad to hear that. I knew lil John in the 80s. He was a great guy. Thanks for the memories lil john
DeleteSorry to hear he passed. Good guy!!
DeleteNot the same John cause he was born in '43.
ReplyDeleteI rode for several years on a honda and then a virago so i never joined a club.lol.All my friends i road with had japs.We were wild and a guy that became my neighbor said we were a Vietnam motorcycle gang.lol
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Johnny was a good guy. He let me center in backyard touch football games (I was 5 yrs old then) and shared his lurid desire for my aunt who was living with us at the time, a few houses down from his house. He always had friends and that was his MO. Friends and loyalty.
ReplyDeleteAnyone remember a Satan Slave (SFV) by the name of Joe Dalton? Would have been Canoga Park, Van Nuys. His old lady was Jeannette.
ReplyDeleteMy dad was Satan slaves anyone know Gary hayes?
ReplyDeleteI know who was in the Satans Slaves that lived off of Mulholland. I'm NOT saying who he is or maybe was. He left years ago in the early 70's. Also, whoever mentioned the English Satans Slaves... They are a completely different Club, different patch, everything... nothing to do with the Club that patched over to HA in 78.
ReplyDeleteSatans Slaves were much more hardcore than Straights, proof of that is how the Slaves took the patches of the Straights and shut down their club when they snitched on Manson, they lost their cut for being informants.
ReplyDeleteI had a brother named Bill Karren, aka Dopey in the Inglewood area. I remember their president Joe Schumacher who went to westchester high school with me. Bill died in a car accident in 1971 after leaving a Slave party when his girlfriend crashed their car somewhere in Inglewood. Billy was in the truck.bed because he was too wasted to be up front.At his funeral about 25 bikers showed up. It scared the hell out of most of my family and friends, but I thought it was cool. I met the members several times before at their clubhouse and they were really nice to me.I also remember Shorty, a member who later got killed by a car while biking. I know that Joe Schumacher died years ago. He was just a shadow of his old self.I never thought they were bad guys, but being Bill’s brother probably helped. Also, Bill did mention visiting the Manson Family at their ranch, but I don’t recall much.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Michael kopp my dad was John kopp, as a kid I used to go over to slave louies house all the time it was the coolest place as a kid he had a bunch of cool shit and bikes and memorabilia.... and a giant grizzle bear trap ...
ReplyDeleteDroopy always mentioned slave louy.
DeleteMy contribution for the name of a moped gang: The Hardly Davidsons.
ReplyDeleteYes. Any particular reason why you are asking?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone remember if the Satan Slaves had a clubhouse on Mulholland Dr or possibly remember a Straight Satan named Dave Ludwig?
