I met Taco in the spring of 96. He was an amazing pianist and as well as a hell of an abstract artist

Great to hear more about Taco. A true outlaw 1%er

Definitely want more of these type of episodes!

Taco is one of my favorite outlaw bikers. They're not boy scouts and Taco lived the life.

Coming up in the ‘D’ in the 70s, I appreciated the hell out of this episode. Well played, guys!

Aside from cops where did you get your information? Most importantly, what high-ranking OL members went on record with you? Thanks in advance for your response.

Taco Bowman was a very smart Outlaw R .I P. Brother and ride on

This is perfect to chill out to after a night out here in Sweden. Great episode guys!

Hey Now...Been waiting to fit this one in!

There was no outlaw affiliate at the HA funeral... the club was called The Fifth Chapter...they were a clean n sober club...they attended the Outlaws funeral without their colors...then they attended the HA funeral with full colors and were seen hugging the HA. GET YOUR STORIES RIGHT

Awesome episode learned a lot new about taco …

Biker podcasts Badass 🙌

Respect!!!!

I'm at Taco in 1973 he was a probationary at that time he is at one of my brother's funeral. In 1973 the hells Angels came to Chicago and tried a chapter over or patch over the Hells Henchman. I know because I was at the meeting it was at the hell's henchmen clubhouse. At that time there was five clubs in Chicago. I happen to be an in the American Breed, then there was a DC eagles, outlaws, Knight riders and of course the hell's henchmen. There was a vote on this matter. And they were voted down. Those two hells Angels that were there that day would have never made it out of Chicago if they got voted over to patched over the hell's henchmen. Stairway Harry was there it's a runner that you guys don't know what you're talking about or the real history behind all of this because you missed the whole beginning. Taco was just a prospect at the time from Detroit. Also at that time I went to Detroit and New knew Lenny Braun and he is still alive today. At that time the outlaws did not have a clubhouse in Chicago yet or at least on the south side. Southside Tommy use his house is there clubhouse. I remember being at our clubhouse on the Southside in Roseland and crazy Joe came over he was on the lamb from Florida and dyed his hair dark black his eyebrows and his beard kind of look ridiculous. I like a man and are monkey scared him half to death. The monkey was chained to a post by the main door but couldn't get at anybody the chain wasn't long enough. He freaks ride out cuz that monkey ran right at him and then flipped in the air when the chain ended his run. I grabbed the beer and we started shooting pool and he comes up to me and whispers hey you want to go kill a Hells Henchman with me. I'm looking in the eye and I told him I don't need anybody's help to off anybody. He was trying to play me but he's not from Chicago and he had no idea he couldn't get out of that clubhouse. After I told him all that stuff we shot some more pool I gave him a big line of speed and he went back to Southside Tommy's house and reported it. At that particular time Tommy was president. Actually Tommy told me years later then when he took over the south side it was full of junkies. He got rid of all the junkies and then got a bunch of Street killers in the club. Our club is made up mostly of hardcore bikers that came home from Vietnam. We had two chapters one in Milwaukee one the Chicago clubhouse was pretty much explosion proof. There is four walks to get in and out of our clubhouse and one day a bunch of those guys came over this is the true story before I knew it everybody had a gun on and they had somebody throw down. My brother loser and Westside Tommy in a headlock with a 45 to his head and he was screaming at Southside Tommy to stop his shit. Westside new loser loser and he was fresh from Vietnam 5 years earlier. It got to a very dangerous point when finally another one of my brothers tramp took off his vest slam down is 45 on a bar and said I will fight every one of you which one of you punks wants to go. Actually that calm the whole thing down bound and west side with mad as hell at Southside Tommy. It wasn't long after that Southside Tommy was out of the club. He started the whole thing at the clubhouse and apparently they threw him out of his club. His brother Paul is the outlaw attorney to this day. We had dog bites in the basement of our clubhouse along with a casino. I'll never forget that day. Southside Tommy showed up with a German Shepherd. All the other dogs were pit bulls. Tommy was talking to me and I said to him that dog is going to get killed downstairs you don't need to even bring it down stairs. I was watching loser he was standing listening a couple feet away. Southside was scared 2 death of Loser for good reason. Loser walked over took out his buck knife and proceeded to stab Tommy's dog over and over. This freaked Tommy out he couldn't believe what was happening. Then loser look at him and said how about I cut your throat. Tommy left the clubhouse number to be seen again. That's a true story. Most of the guys in our club were Vietnam veterans. I came over to clubhouse and park my bike one day and went inside Loser and tramp or at the end of the bar talking to one another. I want behind the bar grab the beer and walked over to where they were. And here's what they told me. I said what are you guys up to? They told me they're going to go over to Tommy's house and kill him. These guys are 2 killers and they were going there to kill him they didn't care. When I asked him did you tell anybody else but me, they replied no. I told them they can't do it because the ugly crew needed to know about it because if they got caught we better get ready for a full war. it took me about 10 minutes to talk some sense into them. It was about 10 years ago I ran into Tommy I told the story and he believed me because he knew what Insanity ran through my family

I remember seeing Taco Bowman at a bike Run in Daytona Beach Florida in the early 90's and he was deep, riding at the front of the pack and I was like who is this dude.!!

Amazing show man. Just watched the Scarfo episode. Ideas? How about doing a show of the Canadian biker war. Everyone knows the story of Mom Boucher but how about doing it about the other members of his Nomads crew and get a bit deeper into that? There were some other interesting characters like Wolf Carroll, Walter Stadnick, etc. Those guys were real bad asses and even the U.S Hells Angels were afraid to get involved with their murderous mayhem (according to George Christie). They absolutely ruled Canada and nobody stood in their way. Well Rock Machine tried. That was really interesting which has very little coverage in the US. I mean Taco was a legend but Mom Boucher's stuff made him look like a sunday school teacher. LOL.

Taco himself lived amongst the upper-crust, blood-blooded affluent enclave of Grosse Pointe as well!!!lol All these Old-Money Ivy League graduates who are business executives ProSports Owners, Professional Athletes, Doctors and lawyers and the rest of the movers and shakers, civic leaders that reside on the East-Side that all spend time at the local Country Clubs and Yacht Clubs in the Toney suburb where the National Chapter Leader of Biker Gang and a handful of LCN Members of the Detroit Partnership mixed in with these folk!lol

Just what the doctor ordered. As always great job gentleman

"Visit Detroit, Murder City."[

Great video and very informative Scott!!! Wow I thought bam margera was still on ice 🧊 and not drinking too much he looks and is seemingly very healthy looking in this vid!! 😉

Do a quick hitter on Nove Tocco

I'm a little late on the comments, great show as always like given, would you guys' mind doing a show on the Newark NJ HELLS ANGELS Chapter? I would love see to see and hear about them.

Do one on Big Jim Nolan

Love this kind of content. How about Big Vinnie Girolamo?

I am a born and raised NorCal native, we also have a marysville right across the river and I heard it thinking there’s no way taco was from NorCal. Then quickly realized it’s in Michigan 😂

I've known since I was a kid lenny brown personally man he was a good dude Rest in peace Lenny brown

New subcriber here 😎👍 just getting into this video should be good any original bad boy from the street can dig taco's style he was a leader that demanded respect.i need to go back & watch the Scarfo episode one of my favourites from Philly..I like to request for you guys to do one on Alpo Martinez or James Springette ✌💯

Nice

Taco sent me a letter from the big house he said it's the ride not the destination! R.I.P. TACO

I knew taco when he was in prison, sent him tattoo books and German biker books

I wonder why organised crime groups don't use crime noise security equipment. Maybe they do, but I never have heard of it.

can you do an episode on pegleg Joe Morgan?

Never knew bear was a former outlaw-

Probates don't have outlaws gear....

Phil Cross of San Jose HA was on the FBI most wanted list too I'm pretty sure.

Do one on Aldo magnelli

Was Mad mike the president of the Chattanooga chapter

did you see any pictures of taco in his cape

Have NOT watched the episode… but I hope you spend some time talking about the period of time The Giacolone’s were passed with Taco and Frankie Bomb bommarito squashed the beef bc I think Giacolone wanted him dead…?

There are 2 chapters of hells Angels in GRAND RAPIDS AND MOUNT PLEASANT

You guys got a lot wrong the first chapter was on the eastside not Warren ave

There is video footage of his funeral in Ohio on KZfaq.

Do a video about Angelo lapetrua (the hook) from Chicago, the clown Joe Lombardo

I did not see your podcast on my uncle Nick Scarfo I hope it was not the typical VS that the media likes to. Perpetuate about my family

Great episode. Frank cali

Mike Lynn didn't do it for nothing his son was a patched member and his chapter jump him and took his colors . That's why he did what he did... Love ur mafia stuff but u all need to do the research on bikers before u say things u don't know.anf the warlocks are not aligned with the hells Angels just on friendly terms big difference

Northern michigan here 😎

He lived in Florida 4 decades,not Detroit

This show would be so much better with some more structure... It's really stop start and going off on tangents , it's a pity coz the topics are interesting

Detroit* legend

SYLO

Scott you could not be more obvious that you do not know what your talking about. So switch topics.

OFFO

It is almost comical to listen to you guys stumble over the facts and non facts. Do a little more thorough research before you do these podcasts.

We all know about Taco. Old news. How about reporting on current LCN and biker news?

If you don’t do an episode on the life and crimes of Tony Giacalone, it shows how fearful you guys really are. Guys in NY talk day in day out about mobsters. Nothing happens. Why would anyone do that in this day and age anyway. Come on, grow some balls. Detroit guys, only talking about dead or out of town gangsters. Detroit guys should at least do 75% Detroit and then whatever. But, nobody covers Detroit like NY guys do NY. Philly guys cover Philly. Pussies cover John ALiar. Anyway, we need Detroit people to do in depth reporting on past Detroit events. Fuck bikers, they smell quite often. Great job guys. I really am a huge fan. I used to be Scott’s biggest fan, but he tends to blow people off I have a feeling. Just kidding. Keep up your great work guys. 👊🏻

There is no mafia

These 2 are boring. I digress here, but I must say everything they speak off is speculation. All they do is regurgitate things they've seen on other videos or have read in a blog somewhere. Spare is your BILLSH!+
