Vice City Bikers: Difference between revisions

The '''Vice City Bikers''' are a gang in the [[3D Universe]] appearing 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.  

;1984

Unlike conventional gangs, the Vice City Bikers do not congregate or move in groups, but rather they ride their bikes on the streets of Downtown 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 congregating, talking with each other, moving as a group, attacking as a group 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 or their motorcycle, they will dismount and run away.  

Bikers that accidentally 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]]. The Bikers are rarely seen being chased by the police, but if a biker is seen being chased by a police officer, the player can obtain a $50 "Good Citizen Bonus" for each punch/kick delivered to a fleeing biker. However, the player must avoid hitting the chasing Police Officer, or they will obtain a one or two star wanted level.

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 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.

*'''[[The Greasy Chopper]]''' - Motor bar, base of operations for gang, Big Mitch Baker's favorite hangout.

*'''[[Moist Palms Hotel]]''' - Possibly pays protection, as there are thirty Bikers hanging out outside.
