The '''Vice City 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.

In 1986, shortly after the completion of [[Love Juice]], [[Kent Paul]] gives Tommy Vercetti a call that [[Love Fist]] won't start thir concert in Vice City without protection. He requests Tommy to go to [[The Greasy Chopper]] to try and convince the Bikers to give Love Fist protection, syaing it would be great publicity and that he will give Tommy backstage passes for the concert. Tommy goes to the bar looking for [[Mitch Baker]] and after asking whether he's interested, Tommy is made fun of by Mitch who is playing pool and is questioned whether he can handle a bike before going any further with the alliance he's looking for. 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 protect Love Fist, 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]] . On his last mission, Baker (who is playing a pinball machine) tells Tommy that he must steal back his bike 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. | |||
==Behaviour== | |||
Unlike conventional gangs, the Vice City Bikers do not congregate or move in groups, but ratherthey ride their bike on the streets separately or occasionally in pairs, unless the player is doing a rampage that involves killing bikers. In that case, large groups of Bikers can be seen talking with each other and acting like a conventional gang. Bikers are not ordinarily hostile to Tommy, and will only occasionally attack in self-defense; Unlike conventional gangs, Bikers do not usually attack Tommy if he injures or kills a biker, although they occasionally do. Normally if the player shoots at a riding Biker ortheir motorcycle, they will dismount and run away. | |||
Bikers that accidently ride into [[Prawn Island]] and/or [[Vice Point]] may attack or be attacked by the [[Vercetti Gang]], [[Sharks]] or [[Patrol Invest Group]]. Likewise, Bikers that ride into [[Little Haiti]] or [[Little Havana]] will be attacked either by the [[Haitians]] or the [[Cubans]] | |||

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 appear to be heavily influenced by German Culture, for some of them have Eiserne Kreuze (Iron Cross) tattoos on their shoulders, as well as wearing Pickelhaubes. | |||
