In this episode, Jason, (former Hells Angels), and Mooch, (former Mongol), sit down with Bo, founder of Outlaw Archives, for a fascinating conversation about preserving the history of outlaw motorcycle clubs and the culture that surrounds them.
Bo shares how he was first drawn to the biker world, his passion for collecting rare club memorabilia, photographs, and historical artifacts, and why documenting this unique subculture matters. The discussion explores the importance of preserving the stories, traditions, and legacy of a lifestyle that has largely existed outside the public eye.
But archiving outlaw history comes with risks. Bo talks candidly about the challenges, controversies, and even death threats he has faced while collecting and documenting pieces of a world built on secrecy, loyalty, and respect. Together, the hosts and Bo discuss the fine line between preserving history and honoring the patch, and why someone has to ensure these stories aren't lost to time.
A thought-provoking episode about brotherhood, legacy, respect, and the responsibility of keeping outlaw motorcycle history alive for future generations.
