The '''Bikers''' are a gang in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] - simply put, they are ''"the biggest family of misfits, outcasts and badasses"'' as quoted by their leader, [[Mitch Baker|"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. It is believed that [[Kent Paul]] gives Tommy a call that they won't start the concert without protection. During the first [[Alloy Wheels of Steel|mission]], Mitch Baker gives him a race to prove his skill with [[Cougar]] and [[Zeppelin]]. Right after that, Tommy gets anxious and demands Baker money, but Baker responds to him that this is about family and not a battle. On his second mission, Baker tells Tommy to wreak havoc in [[Downtown Vice City|Downtown]] to cause drive-bys to other drivers. On his last mission, Baker (who is playing a pinball machine) tells Tommy that he must require his bike (known as [[Angel]]) from the [[Sharks]] and then take it back to [[The Greasy Chopper]] bar. Right after that, Mitch calls Tommy to confirm that he has given some protection for the [[Love Fist]] concert. | The '''Bikers''' are a gang in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] - simply put, they are ''"the biggest family of misfits, outcasts and badasses"'' as quoted by their leader, [[Mitch Baker|"Big" Mitch Baker]].

The [[wp: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]]. | The [[wp: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 [[wp: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 Eiserne Kreuze (Iron Cross) tattoos on their shoulders, as well as wearing Pickelhaubes. | ||

In [[Grand Theft Auto: 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 [[Grand Theft Auto: 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]]. They also apparently run some kind of business out of the [[Moist Palms Hotel]] as they can be found there in GTA Vice City during rampages. | ||
