The majority of Hell's Angels are Caucasian men who ride Harley-Davidson motorbikes. Each individual has a "legal," or official, name, which may be a memorable nickname. Membership status is strictly enforced. In 1948, the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club was formed in Fontana, California, near San Bernardino. The original 12 members were all white males between 19 and 25 years old. Today, there are believed to be around 1,000 members in 100 chapters across six countries. So yes, most Hell's Angels are white men on Harley-Davidsons. However, this doesn't mean that all white men are part of the club. There are many other factors that determine if you can be accepted as a member, such as your ability to meet financial requirements. There have been attempts by some minority groups to form their own clubs. For example, there is a Black Hell's Angels club in Oakland, California. However, these efforts have not been successful yet. According to research conducted by the University of Michigan, approximately 80 percent of Hell's Angels are male, and 20 percent are female. This ratio appears to be similar among club members worldwide. People think that Hell's Angels must be all young because they often see them on the road. Actually, about 70 percent of them are over the age of 18 while only 30 percent are younger than 35.
