Market Street Commandos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Market Street Commandos was a motorcycle club that, in 1947, along with the Boozefighters and the Pissed Off Bastards of Bloomington, participated in the highly-publicized Hollister incident (later immortalized on film as The Wild One[1] [2]). In 1954 the Fontana Hells Angels merged with the Market Street Commandos to become the San Francisco chapter of the Hells Angels.[3][4]
