The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club dates back to California, 1948.  Considered a crime syndicate by law enforcement, the Hells Angels have always had a distinct look and way of doing things.  LIFE has just posted some amazing never before-seen shots of the Mother Chapter San Bernandino “Berdoo” Hells Angels, taken in 1965 by LIFE photographer Bill Ray.  View the entire gallery here.
