About Gangster
Biker gangs like the Hell's Angels first established themselves in the USA, but have since spread around the world, becoming global movements. Members see themselves as outcasts from society, and those who belong to these so-called "one per center" motorcycle clubs have their own strict rules and rituals. Some members are attracted by a love of bikes, and the sense of brotherhood being in a motorcycle gang brings.
