In the annals of organized crime and biker culture, the name Bernie Guindon looms large. As the founding president of the notorious Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club, Guindon left an indelible mark on the criminal underworld and society at large.

Born in Montreal, Canada in 1937, Guindon's early life was marked by poverty and a lack of parental guidance. He found solace and a sense of belonging in motorcycle clubs, eventually forming the Satan's Choice in 1965.
