Voice 1
Hello, I'm Mike Procter.Voice 2
And I'm Peter Laverock. Welcome to Spotlight. This programme uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier to understand, no matter where in the world you live. Motorcycles with powerful engines. Violence, drug dealing and stealing. This is the image people have of groups of men who ride motorcycles. In America, and many western countries, people call them Hell's Angels. Hells Angels are men who want to appear frightening. They carry this appearance in the dark clothes that they wear, in the way they travel in groups, in their big motorcycles, and in their name, Hell's Angels. They want the police and the public to leave them alone.Voice 1
What a strange name! In religious tradition, 'angels' are usually good. They are messengers from God. But Hell is the home of evil - a place of fear. So Hell's Angels really means 'messengers of evil'. The Hell's Angel culture began in America in the 1940's. Some of the first Hell's Angels were soldiers from the Second World War. They found it hard to get back to a normal life after the war. They did not want a life of daily work, paying taxes and obeying social customs. They took to the open road on motorcycles. It is called 'dropping out'. Instead of working, these men made money any way they could. Mostly this was by dishonest methods. It was a world of drugs, guns and violence.Voice 2
An example of the violence happened in 1969. It involved the 'The Rolling Stones' - the pop group. The Stones employed some Hell's Angels to provide security at a performance. One young man tried to get too close to the Stones. He tried to climb onto the stage, where the Stones were performing. The Hell's Angels caught him. They threw him back into the crowd. In his anger the young man pulled out a gun. He shot one of the Hell's Angels in the arm. That was a foolish thing to do. The Hell's Angels chased after him. They caught him - and they killed him with a knife.Voice 1
By this time, Hell's Angels were firmly fixed in popular culture. Hollywood made films about them. Reporters wrote about them in magazines and newspapers. In America, the police arrested some of the leaders of the Hell's Angels. They accused them of being involved in organised crime. But the court found the Hell's Angels 'not guilty'.Voice 2
Hell's Angel culture spread round the world. In most places it was not so much a criminal organisation. It was more of a way of life. There are thousands of biker groups in the world today. They share their common interest in motorcycles, but in different ways. Listen to these examples...Voice 1
Bikers Without Borders. That is the story of two American bikers who went on a very long ride through South America. James Mallory and Steve Wallstrom rode their motorcycles from Seattle all the way to Chile. It was a distance of twenty thousand [20,000] kilometres. They rode over the world's highest road. It is a mountain road near Huaraz in Peru. James and Steve stopped in many places to help with projects for children. They returned to the United States to tell the story of their travels. They hope to persuade more young people from America to go and work for such projects in South America.Voice 2
Bikers often get involved in raising money for good causes. In Scotland there is a group called the Scottish Christian Motorcycle Association. They raised several thousand pounds for poor farmers in Ethiopia. They gave the money to a church in Ethiopia, the Meserite Kristos Church.Voice 1
The biker culture today has many expressions. It includes people who have turned their backs on a life of crime. There are a lot of Christian bikers who try to persuade their friends to become followers of Jesus. One of them is Barry Mayson. He lives in the USA. When he was a small boy, his father became sick with malaria. He prayed to God for healing, but his father died. So Barry Mayson was full of anger towards God. He joined a group of Hell's Angels in his home state of South Carolina.Voice 3
"It surprised me that my mother still wanted to know me. She hated everything about my life with the motorcycle gang. But if I ever I turned up at her house she welcomed me in. She never stopped praying for me. She would say, 'Turn back to Jesus'. I would laugh at her. I told her, there is nothing more powerful than the Hell's Angels."Voice 1
Barry Mayson married and had a child, but instead of building a good family life, he grew ever closer to the Hell's Angels. One day he met a leader known as 'Wolf'. This man asked him to kill another biker. Barry refused. Hell's Angels do not like a member to refuse an order like this. The Angels turned against Barry. He had to run away to save his life. But he had no money and was a long way from home. He phoned his home and asked for help. As he talked on the phone some of the Hell's Angels appeared. Barry was full of fear.Voice 3
"I told my wife that there was no escape. The Hell's Angels were all around me. My mother came on the phone. I thought I was going to die, so I said to my mother that I regretted the life I had led. I said sorry for all the terrible things I had done. My mother said she loved me and had forgiven me. She said there was hope. But I said there was no hope. She said there was hope in Jesus Christ. I told her that I did not believe that. I said that when my father died I cursed God. I said bad things about God because he did not heal my father. She said, 'Son, it does not matter what you did. Jesus loves you. Two thousand years ago He gave his life for you'. "My mother prayed for me right there on the phone. Something broke in my emotions. I found myself crying. The Hell's Angels around me looked worried. Bikers don't cry! I felt love, peace and warmth. Through all the years of drinking, drug taking and violence I had been looking for someone to accept me. Now I found it. I found Jesus."Voice 1
Barry Mayson's life is changed now and he tells this story to bikers, to prisoners and to any young people who are thinking of a life of crime.Voice 2
We could find stories like this all through the biker culture. God is in the business of bringing people back. God can enter a situation that is evil. He can change it. His followers do not need to give up their motorcycles; they only need to start following a different road.Voice 1
