Legendary Hells Angels chieftain Sonny Barger dead at 83

The longtime leader of the outlaw motorcycle gang has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 83.

“I’ve lived a long and good life filled with adventure. And I’ve had the privilege to be part of an amazing club.”Barger added: “Stay loyal, remain free, and always value honour.” “Barger converted a sloppy, rudderless gang into a lean, mean organization,” author Yves Lavigne told CNN in 1992. It was a narcotics beef that tripped him up. He was sentenced to a decade behind bars after being pinched with drugs and a weapon.tap here to see other videos from our teamBut Barger only served four-and-a-half years of his sentence.

I guess being a criminal can make you a legendary person. Keep on painting these guys with a rose-coloured brush. It sounds so romantic. Well done Vancouver sun. Any investments by the motorcycle clubs to the sun?

Ooohh vancouver sun you forgot about the teddy bear rides. You promoted those big time. Well done

Isnt the Vancouver painting a respectfull picture here? The Vancouver sun has never done a journalistic truthfull explanatory investigation. It is more like a do whatever yo u want and we’ll by omission let you guy’s do your thing. Makes you wonder about the media at large

** well-known criminal now deceased Fixed that headline for you.

They don't make them like Sonny Barger anymore.
