Great article on Sonny Barger, Tucker’s tribute at his funeral.

Yes. Except that Ralph "Sonny" Barger was not the "Founder" of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. AFAIK he never claimed to be the founder either.

He founded the HA club with Death’s Head logo on April 1, 1957.

He “amalgamated” other clubs and by 1958 was national president.

He was the founder of THE HAMC.

I wonder how DMail got that so wrong? Do you know? Daily Mail, UK, usually properly identifies people and their associations. Although, Tucker, in his tribute, didn’t refer to Barger as the founder, either.
Thx for the info.
