The Satan’s Choice motorcycle club has arrived in London.
Harley Guindon, a former Hells Angels member who revived the club his father helped launch decades ago, told The Free Press the Satan’s Choice now has a London chapter with about 20 members.
“It’s one of the top 10 in Canada,” he said of the chapter’s size.
Guindon, 40, first confirmed the London chapter’s existence during an appearance last week on the Biker News Canada podcast.
An entrepreneur and former vice-president of the Brooklin, Ont., chapter of the Hells Angels, Guindon drew attention in the outlaw biker world in August when he announced he had relaunched Satan’s Choice and planned to open chapters across Canada.
Since then, he has opened more than 50 chapters have opened across Ontario, along with others in the United States, Europe and Asia.
Guindon recruits members by patching over bikers from other one-per-cent clubs, a term used to distinguish outlaw clubs from law-abiding motorcycle enthusiasts.
London’s location on 400-series highways between Toronto and Detroit has long made it important territory for outlaw motorcycle clubs and the site of violent clashes between rivals.
The Hells Angels have long been considered the dominant club in London, with about a dozen full-patch members and two support clubs, the Gatekeepers and One Order.
“There is ex-Hells Angels members,” Guindon said of the London chapter.
But he dismissed concerns the club’s presence in London could lead to conflict with rival groups.
“We’re doing us and they’re doing them,” he said, adding there is no threat to public safety.
The London chapter is Satan’s Choice’s only presence in Southwestern Ontario.
Guindon declined to discuss the club’s short-lived presence in Windsor, another city long considered Hells Angels territory, but spoke about it during his Biker News Canada interview.
“Windsor is the prime example of failure,” he said during the 107-minute interview.
“We gave this guy his own charter because he had six guys,” Guindon said of the man chosen to lead the Windsor chapter.
“Then this guy goes and turns into another club.”
Guindon did not identify the other club, but addressed the issue in a recent social media post after Windsor police announced charges against an alleged Satan’s Choice member and a woman following a gun bust.
Windsor police said officers searched a home in Tecumseh on Friday and seized three loaded handguns, magazines, ammunition and a Satan’s Choice vest.
Police alleged the 41-year-old man charged in the case is a member of Satan’s Choice.
Guindon disputed that claim in a social media post one day after police released details of the case and a photograph of the vest that was seized.
“He is not in our club. Period. Arrangements were made to pick up his patch and he responded . . . Shame on the Windsor Police for your smear campaign. Hurting for more budget,” Guindon wrote in a Facebook post Saturday.
Guindon’s post referenced the Biker News Canada podcast, which aired three days before the Tecumseh gun bust, for more information on the demise of the Windsor chapter.
Guindon’s father, Bernie Guindon, a former boxer who competed for Canada at the Pan Am Games, founded Satan’s Choice in 1965 and remained a member until 2000, when the club disbanded and some members patched over to the Hells Angels.
