Hessians Motorcycle Club

The Hessians Motorcycle Club or Hessians MC is an American "one-percenter" or outlaw motorcycle club.

History
The Hessians Motorcycle Club was founded on March 7, 1968, in Southern California by Thomas F. Maniscalco, a motorcycle enthusiast who would later become a Westminster attorney. The club would soon expand across the nation's western seaboard and in 1972, they claimed to have around 500 members across the United States.

The club's logo features a sabre-pierced skull over an Iron Cross.

Criminal allegations and incidents
In 1994, eight members of the Hessians MC were arrested on drug and weapons charges following a series of raids in California that were conducted by federal, state, county and local law enforcement agencies. The crackdown stemmed from an 8-month investigation into the club, in which ATF agents infiltrated the group's 20-member mother chapter.
