Friends ride in salute to biker ‘hero’ - Hells Angels mourn death of John 'Charger' Surridge | Camden New Journal


Friends ride in salute to biker ‘hero’ - Hells Angels mourn death of John 'Charger' Surridge | Camden New Journal: "HE was one of the first British members of notorious motorcycle club the Hell’s Angels, and a well known face around Kentish Town.
But now friends and family are mourning the loss of John “Charger” Surridge, who died in a bike accident aged 59 at the end of March.
Charger, who lived in Lady Somerset Road, Kentish Town, was killed in a collision on the A1.
Police say he was travelling north through Cambridgeshire to go to a party with two other club members when the accident took place.
On Saturday, hundreds of bikers rode through central London to his funeral service in honour of their hero.
Charger had joined the merchant navy as a young man and went around the world. He recounted to friends that the ship he was on was so big, they would use bicycles to get from one end to the other. Other work included a spell in a magnet factory and then in a warehouse as a packer.
When he returned to dry land, he was one of the first people to join the London branch of the Hell’s Angels in their early days, and before his death he had been a member for nearly four decades."
