[The Hammer]

I'm starting new motorcycle club here in Korea.



If you'd like to join here is the process.

HAMC members must be men over 21 years of age and are required to own a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The full requirements to become a Hell�s Angel are the following: candidates must not drink Hite, but must have a valid driver's license, have a working Harley Davidson motorcycle and cannot be a child molester, ESL teacher, or have applied to become a police officer or prison guard.

After a lengthy, phased process, a prospective member is first deemed to be a 'Hang-around', indicating that the individual is invited to some club events or to meet club members in the local ghetto Itaewon and other known gathering places.

If the Hang-around is interested, he may be asked to become an 'Associate', a status that usually lasts a year or two. At the end of that stage, he is reclassified as 'Prospect', participating in some club activities, but not having voting privileges, while he is evaluated for suitability as a full member. The last phase, and highest membership status, is 'Full Membership' or 'Full-Patch'. The term Full-Patch refers to the complete three-piece crest, including the 'Death's Head' logo and two rockers (top rocker: 'Hells Angels'; bottom rocker: Club location Korea). Prospects are only allowed to wear a bottom rocker with the word 'Prospect' or 'Newbie' or 'FOB'.

To become a full member, the Prospect must be voted on by the rest of the full club members. Prior to votes being cast, a Prospect usually travels to every chapter in the sponsoring chapter's geographic jurisdiction (Seoul/Incheon/Pohang) and introduces himself to every Full-Patch. This process allows each voting member to become familiar with the subject and to ask any questions of concern prior to the vote. Successful admission usually requires more than a simple majority, and some clubs may reject a Newbie for a single dissenting vote. Some form of formal induction follows, wherein the Prospect affirms his loyalty to the club and its members usually by hiking to the top of the nearest mountain top and beating the living crap out of any locals he finds. The final logo patch (bottom location rocker, Korea, aka ROK rocker) is then awarded at this initiation ceremony. The step of attaining full membership can be referred to as "being patched". Here in Korea the ceremony is known as ROK ON!

The Hammer, I'm not sure if you are joking about being a chapter of the Hell's Angels, and if you are, you probably have nothing to worry about, but misrepresenting or misusing the Hell's Angel's logo is very offensive to the group.

I read about one guy who had a tattoo of the Hell's Angels and he wasn't a member. He went to jail. He had to get that covered up quick.

But if you are a member or starting a chapter, do members have to own a Harley? What about a custom chopper?

Is the name already taken?

You should try "Hogwan Chunsas" seeing how Chunsa is angel and hogwans can be hell.

What about the "Jokers" I see in Ko Samui and Phuket?
Are they "Outlaw" bikers or what?

Any Hells Angels Chatpers in Korea? I thought it was for White boys only.
