Hansen was a senior Bandidos member for five to six years, serving as the European sergeant-at-arms in Marseille, France before returning to Denmark where he was allegedly a candidate for the club's national presidency. During the Nordic Biker War in Denmark (1995–1997), he was personally appointed as the bodyguard of European president Jim Tinndahn, with whom he travelled to France and Australia. Hansen opposed the peace treaty with the Hells Angels which ended the biker war in September 1997, and later became president of the Bandidos "Mideast" chapter in Hedehusene. An internal feud began in August 2000 following the expulsion of Hansen's close friend, Mickey Borgfjord Larsen. After disbanding the chapter by expelling all members and subsequently burning all Bandidos symbols in the clubhouse, Hansen was ousted from the Bandidos and told by club leadership that he must leave the property by 1 March 2001. He transformed the former Bandidos clubhouse into a branch of the Red &amp; White Crew, a Hells Angels support club, and also considered founding an Outlaws charter.
