Women from the biker gang "Hell's Angels" (14 photos)
March 17, 1948 in the California town of Fontana was The Hells Angels biker gang is founded. You can argue for a long time about whether whether to call them a "gang" at all, as far as they, in fact, criminalized and so on in the same vein, but one thing is clear for sure: the fleur this community is as rebellious as possible. 
"Hell's Angels" - obvious outsiders, and the consciousness of this fact really bothers them. But, instead in order to calmly submit to the fate prepared for them all, they turned their outsiderness into the basis of an unceasing blood feud society. They do not wait for fortune to smile on them, and they do something win, but, on the other hand, they have nothing to lose.” – Hunter Thompson, "Hell's Angels"
At the peak of their countercultural movement, they hurricane across California (and beyond), terrifying the townsfolk. Drunk, drunk waving chains, catching wild visions on LSD and mescaline, they were rapists, murderers, satanists and other bugbears for the average class. 
At one time, the great Hunter had a great time with them Thompson. The odious psychopathic journalist organically joined the ranks of the Angels hell" and wrote a book of the same name, which they themselves recognized as the best about their community. True, it all ended in a brutal beating. However, Thompson remained not offended and tried to give an objective assessment of this club: outsiders - yes, dangerous types and rebels - no doubt rapists, murderers and destroyers of small roadside towns - not a fact (more precisely, with strong terms). In general, we strongly recommend reading this book.
But back to the Friday Muses: 
In 1965, photographer Bill Ray arrived in the Californian city of San Bernardinho (according to an alternative version of the Hells Angels, it was precisely here, not in Fontana). He spent a month following the local branch "Hell's Angels". Befriended them, drank, drove on night tracks and imbued with their lives. The guys, in general, turned out to be quite good and not deprived romance. But the journalist was especially impressed by the women bikers: freedom-loving, not alien to fights and debauchery, but damn charming. They were the savage Muses and Amazons of California.
"One thing in "Angels", which fascinates me, and which I never thought before taking pictures of them, is the role that women play here. Nobody tied the girls with chains against them will. They had to prove they were hungry for this life if they were going to be accepted by the Angels. These bikers were the kings of the road, they themselves did not even try to look for girls. The girls themselves came to them, and "Angels" had only to choose"
The same Hunter Thompson is more rude, but specific, answering to the question about the magnetism of the Hells Angels: “The motorcycle is undoubtedly sexual symbol. It is exactly what is called "phallic locomotor symbol". He is an extension of the human body, strength hidden between the legs. 
In general, read Hunter Thompson's Hells Angels, love women and freedom, but, if possible, do not ride bikes on the roads, beating other people's cars with chains. If possible.
