SOA - Special appearence by Sonny Barger Hot

SOA-logo

Sons of Anarchy is an adrenalized drama with darkly comedic undertones that explores a notorious outlaw motorcycle club. In the season 3 Finale a special appearance is made by Sonny Barger, who was a founding member of the Oakland Chapter of the Hells Angels.

Sony Barger played a character named "Lenny the Pimp" Janowitz, who is a founding member of the fictional Sons of Anarchy  MC.

84 Shovels on the FX Community forum wrote "This reminds me of something I was pondering the other night after the finale... was wondering if SOA has made real 1% clubs have to put up with more people approaching them, as if they're nice-guy-celebs. Reminded me of some years back when I was biking up Yosemite way with a group of friends. We pulled into a station to gas up, and a minute later a group of HA pulled in to do the same. I glanced up and went back about my business, having no particular affinity for 1%ers, and knowing they certainly had no affinity for us. One of my friends, however, was smitten (6'8 guy with a beard, looks like he just broke outta prison).... He was crushed when he said hi to one of them and they ignored him. "YA THINK?" So I can only imagine the extra attention 1%'ers are getting NOW with SOA on the air... I would bet many people will be stupid enough to think of real club members as "buddies."

bikerdave65429 had a different view  "ya know , i gotta say something here , now i see some folks on here that are still trying to perpetuate the old stereo type for bikers and 1% clubs and it's really getting on my nerves , many of us on here (who are in the life or are very knowledgeable about it ) have spent alot of time and energy trying to get the "citizens" on here straight on the fact that just because we ride a bike and wear leather , it don't mean we are Atilla the hun looking to rape and pillage , then a few of ya'll come on here and act like "oh any guy in a 1% club wont speak to you or they are scary and mean " BS i sat down with sonny 2 weeks ago at "a book signing" and he was a great guy , and there was patches from all over the eastern seaboard walking around , i spoke with many of them and said hello to every guy i made eye contact with , not a single one was rude , disrespected me (for not having the same patch on my back ) or anything else , so lighten up on the bikers are bad attitude a little bit ya'll ok ? as for sonny's guest shot on the show , I thought he was great for that part , and his speech was very clear , when we met i had to lean in to really hear him well because he speaks very softly . the man is a legend whether you like it or not and whether you respect it or not , so act like grown ups . just my 2 cents , whether you agree or not ."

I think Sons of Anarchy is an outstanding show that demonstrates the pros and cons of a MC...I've been around some of these local and national clubs at different events and personally know a bunch of them. I can only think of one time I had an issue with one of the clubs' pledging member. I understood he was pledging and was trying to impress the other members. It didn't work out so well for him though. At first, things looked pretty grim after I grabbed him up and tossed him to the ground. I thought the other 5 guys would jump it. They let it go and agreed he was in the wrong. They did remind me if this was a patched member, things would have worked out differently not in my favor. I shook my head in agreement and went my own way. Since then, I've seen this guy try to pledge with 3 different clubs.
