This is the second biker movie, where i see bikers wearin' the nazi swastic? Why is that? Are the real bikers some sort of nazis? Or mb some of their packs where nazists, or it's somekind of rebelion.
shareIt's just a fascination with evil. No fascination with Hitler, himself.
Hitler would've been a lousy biker.
Human beings are predators. We have to supress our urge to kill.
When the WW2 vets came back from the war,and brought trophies back, these were often worn by the members in first outlaw bike clubs. It turned into a tradition for the next 20 years. Nazis? Not even close. The German helmet I had came from a vet that took it off of the German that he killed, hand to hand. You can read anything you want out of it, but there is one thing for sure, anybody that comes up with these left-handed ideas, hasn't a clue about outlaw bikers.

Thanks for the information, it was very helpful. No left ideas, i was just curious
shareWhat buddy said above. + Also to Freak out the establishment, basically anything to get a rise out of people. The Nazi stuff ended with HA when they got their first german chapter, as Nazi paraphernalia is outlawed in Germany.
shareAs if REAL HAs give a *beep* about the law. GERMAN HA? What a concept. I know they exist, but WTF? What's next, Chicom HA? They have Harleys there, now.
How about Jap HA? Herr's Angers? Damn foreigners ought to have their OWN MCs.
Like Gypsy Jokers in Australia. (snicker)
"They sucked his brains out!"
For real man, that is the reason 81 aint wearin no nazi stuff no more. Or at least Bargers explanation of why.
shareI suspect the real reason it isn't being worn anymore is because Nazi memorabilia commands a high price on the collector's market and bikers who had any in good condition cashed in and sold it.
shareIf you have to ask, you won't understand. Get lost, square.
"They sucked his brains out!"
Contrary to what people are telling you, there are actually a lot of nazi bikers and outlaw MCs are typically very racist, especially the HA and the Outlaws. The swazis are meant to intimidate, yeah, but for a lot of them it's also a declaration of their beliefs. A lot of skinheads are "graduating" into OMCs as well. There are even clubs that are blatantly white supremacist like the Sons of AesÃr who're based in Arizona.
The ADL just put out an article on the growing number of white supremacist MCs.

I don't think there are many Nazi-bikers; the Hell's Angels themselves originated from WWII vets. that fought for the allies. I think a lot of these biker gangs and punk rockers used the swastika more for shock-value then anything else.
