Perhaps the beginning. Disillusioned vets with no place in society just trying to feel alive in peacetime after facing death during the war. Probably the true bikers, like D H Lawrence, all the rest are chasing a dream.

NZ HA doco 1972

Only two (OK three) words will do

Hard case, man

The REAL ones...

Yep. Thou as some of them, when they returned, started up HA (the bike club), you could argue that they still were the First/Original/Real ones when they did ride their bikes.

The longer you live the more you learn. The trick is, too live a lot for a long time. The hotter the flame & all that.

Have been around for a bit. Hope to do a bit more before I hang up my helmet.

Not according to their own website. No association with the military Hell's Angels.

Where are they now? I would love to hear that story brought upto date.

Yeah, that clip is hard case alright, because that's how it was. I laugh at this whole new biker culture of people reliving the '70's....or at least what they thought the '70's was, because they missed it. There was no strutting around in leather and looking heavy...it was just hooligans on bikes.

There was a search for something. And I am still searching... We used to ride in ripped jeans. And when they started falling apart too much we added another pair.

True.

Nobody I know tried to cultivate an 'image' like they do now.

Greasy hands, torn jeans, raggedy flannel shirts/t-shirts, steel-caps and PJ Proby jackets...

The BBC did a couple of docos in 1985 about the British HA, it was much the same but with increased drunkeness.
