One of Southern California’s first motorcycle clubs, The Psychos (also known as Los Psychos) formed in San Bernardino after WWII and quickly developed a reputation for toughness. While The Psychos became known for some of their community activities — including supporting military veterans and participating in events to promote the preservation of Route 66 — an offshoot of the club known as Vatos MC has a more notorious history.

Shot in the 1970s by a proud member of the club, this silent home movie documents the club members on a ride to Sacramento.
