Sonny Barger’s famous Hells Angels and best-selling author dies at age 83 – Insane Throttle Biker News
Oakland — Sonny, a well-known founding member of Hells Angels, who ran the country on motorcycles, wrote best-selling books, fought the law, won several times, and advocated opposition to smoking after being diagnosed with throat cancer. Barger died at the age of 83.
The announcement of Burger’s death was made on his official Facebook page, along with a post containing a farewell message written by Burger.
“Reading this message tells me I’m gone. I asked him to post this note shortly after he died,” the post said. “I have had a long and good life full of adventure, and I have the privilege of being part of a great club.”
According to the post, Burger died of cancer and was surrounded by his wife Zorana and other loved ones.
Born in Modesto, Ralph Hubert Burger moved to Auckland as a kid, joined the US Army as a teenager, and was drawn to motorcycle clubs from an early age. Berger wrote in his autobiography that Hells Angels was a small club in San Francisco and was enthusiastic before he joined. He and other bikers chose the name and started Oakland Hells Angels, now known as the club’s most important charter. He became the club’s national president in the late 1950s and is recognized for his achievements in raising Hells Angels into an international organization.
