Vice City Bikers: Difference between revisions

The Bikers are a gang in [[GTA Vice City]] - Simply put, they are ''"the biggest family of misfits, outcasts and badasses"'' as quoted by their leader, [[Big Mitch Baker]]. A group of stereotypical bikers, they wear leather, give off a gruff, tough persona, have long beards and hair, wear biker attire and ride chopper style motorcycles. Circa 1986, they are the only gang, along with the Cuban Gang, that [[Tommy Vercetti]] opens relations without forcibly taking it over.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hells_Angels|Hells Angels]] biker gang is the inspiration for the gang, as they are later hired as security for a concert of the hair metal band [[Love Fist]]. This is an obvious reference to the disastrous [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stones|Rolling Stones']] show at Altamont, where Hell's Angels were hired as security and an Angel stabbed a member of the crowd. They are heavily influenced by German Culture, for some of them have EisernKruez (Iron Cross) tattoos on their shoulders, as well as wearing Pickelhaubes.

 

In [[GTA Vice City Stories]], the Bikers are revealed to be a large gang owning several businesses across Vice City and appear to be at war with other local gangs the [[Sharks]] and [[Cholos]] for Empire sites. In 1984, during [[Victor Vance]]'s takeover, the Bikers were ultimately forced into hiding controlling a very small part of south [[Downtown]] where their base of operations is run out of [[The Greasy Chopper]].
