The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) is a worldwide “one-percenter” motorcycle gang and organized crime syndicate whose members typically ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles. In the United States and Canada, the Hells Angels are incorporated as the Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation.

Both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada classify the Angels as one of the “big four” outlaw motorcycle clubs, contending that members carry out widespread violence, drug dealing, trafficking in stolen goods, and extortion. Members of the organization itself assert that this is a mischaracterization, and state that they are a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who organize social events such as group road trips, fundraisers, parties, and motorcycle rallies.
