Yep...one of my sisters used to date (or whatever you want to call it) a guy that was way up the food chain in a nationally known MC (he's now in the pen...go figure) and I met a few of them and hung out with some of them once in a while...but not for long thankfully. They reminded me of the Sopranos but white trash style so this show is what it reminds me of.

I like the show but I hated the fact that my sister got tied up with this group. She's away from it now...hopfully it stays that way. No I wasn't proud but it was her life. I have two sisters...one is normal.

yup. Anyone who thinks this is a good show that accurately depicts the biker gang lifestyle, is oblivious to the workings of a real motorcycle club.

It is an entertaining, gritty view of gangs that dont exist.

The HA, Outlaws, Warlocks, Bandidos, etc, etc, run nothing like these shows.

I'd like to see the so called Sons of Anarchy take a ride up to montreal and try to roll against HA back when 'Mom' Boucher was running the show

Bike gangs are scum of the earth. The brotherhood that once united them dissapeared thirty years ago, now they are violent criminal organizations that rule through fear.

TV cant acurately depict what they really do.

That gangland show had some good documentaries on the biker gangs and I think they had a show on the HA from montreal, that boucher guy kinda looked like a maffia type guy more than biker if its the same guy.

There was also a good show about a cop who infiltrated the mongols and brought a bunch of them down.

I find it entertaining. but yeah these guys are a little too smart, and a little to good looking. Hell give Jax a shave and a haircut and he could be at a country club tomorrow.

Besides if it were more 'true to life' who the hell would want to watch it? there would be no entertainment because most of what they do would make the average person sick to their stomach

Agreed.

It just seems some people have this 'American hero, riding free' outlook on the lifestyle, that they get from these shows.

The most accurate series i've seen on biker life is 'The last Chapter', with Michael Ironside and Roy Dupuis. It was a Canadian 3 part series based on Canadian biker life, and loosely based on some events in the montreal biker wars. Excellent series.

Agree with most all of the last few post. It is entertaining but not like real life.

Somewhat the same with the Sopranos but I watched it too...for entertainment.

I read the book on the McQueen/Mongols infiltration, I actually have it here. And saw the show you talked about. Great stuff. Theres a whole series on different gangs.

and, Maurice 'Mom' Boucher, one of the most violent, ambitious, and evil men ever to walk Canadian soil.
