Who is Harley Guindon?
Biography and early life
- Harley Davidson Guindon was born on 15 October 1985, according to Wikipedia (community-edited encyclopedia).
- He is from Oshawa, Ontario, as reported by DurhamRegion.com (local news outlet).
- His father is Bernie Guindon, founder and former national president of Satan’s Choice Motorcycle Club, confirmed by DurhamRegion.com.
The implication: Guindon grew up in the shadow of one of Canada’s most infamous biker dynasties, a fact that shaped his path from an early age.
Criminal record and imprisonment
- Guindon was convicted of drug dealing and violent offenses in 2005, receiving a 2-year prison sentence, per Wikipedia (community-edited encyclopedia).
- In 2007, he pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, and extortion with a firearm, and was sentenced to five years, as reported by DurhamRegion.com (local news outlet) and confirmed by CBC News.
- In 2012, he was arrested during Project Kingfisher on drug trafficking charges, according to CBC News.
What this means: Guindon has spent a significant portion of his adult life incarcerated, yet each release seems to be followed by a new legal confrontation.
Harley Guindon is simultaneously a convicted violent offender and a small-business owner who presents himself as a legitimate entrepreneur. The two identities are not mutually exclusive—they feed each other.
The pattern: Guindon’s life continues to oscillate between legality and criminality, with each phase reinforcing the other.
How did Harley Guindon make all his money?
Clothing manufacturing and sales
- In 2017, Guindon opened Harley G’s, a biker-themed clothing outfitter in Oshawa, according to INsauga (Durham region news).
- He also runs a custom clothing manufacturing business, as noted in the same report.
Heavy equipment rentals
- Guindon operates a heavy equipment rental business, though public records are sparse on its scale, per CBC News.
Social media and branding
- He has built a social media following: 7,779 Instagram followers and 64,859 Facebook page likes, as of 2025 (INsauga).
- Guindon also operates a boxing/MMA gym, though details are thin.
The trade-off: Guindon’s income streams appear diverse but are largely unverified. No audited financial statements exist, and his net worth remains a matter of speculation.
Why is Bernie Guindon famous?
Founder of Satan’s Choice Motorcycle Club
- Bernie Guindon founded the Satan’s Choice Motorcycle Club, one of Canada’s most notorious outlaw biker gangs, according to DurhamRegion.com.
- He served as national president and was a central figure in the club’s rise.
Criminal history
- Bernie Guindon himself has a criminal record, including convictions for drug trafficking and violence, as documented in Wikipedia (community-edited encyclopedia).
- He is Harley Guindon’s father and had multiple children, including Harley.
The pattern: The Guindon name is synonymous with outlaw biker culture in Canada, and Harley is continuing that legacy—for better or worse.
What do biker patches like 22, 59, and 13 mean?
The meaning of 22 for bikers
- The number 22 is associated with the Pagans Motorcycle Club, where it represents the club’s founding year (1959) reversed, per Wikipedia (community-edited encyclopedia).
The meaning of 59 for bikers
- 59 is a reference to the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, standing for the club’s founding year, 1959, according to Wikipedia.
The meaning of 13 for bikers
- 13 often indicates involvement with drugs or marijuana—the letter M is the 13th letter of the alphabet, standing for “marijuana,” as explained by Wikipedia (outlaw motorcycle club culture).
The meaning of 86 for bikers
- 86 means someone is expelled or “erased” from a club, a term widely used in the biker world, per Wikipedia.
The 666 patch meaning
- The 666 patch is associated with the Hells Angels, often symbolizing the devil or a “death head” theme, as reported by Wikipedia.
Why this matters: These symbols are not just decoration—they communicate loyalty, rank, and criminal alliances. Guindon’s own patches likely reflect his standing in the biker hierarchy.
What is the Pagans MC?
History of the Pagans Motorcycle Club
- The Pagans MC is an outlaw motorcycle club founded in 1959 in Prince George’s County, Maryland, according to Wikipedia.
- They are known for their 22 patch and have been involved in violent conflicts with other clubs.
Relationship with Satan’s Choice
- Historically, the Pagans and Satan’s Choice have been rivals, though Guindon’s revival of Satan’s Choice may shift alliances, per CBC News.
The catch: Biker club relationships are fluid, and Guindon’s public ambitions could reignite old tensions.
If Guindon succeeds in establishing Satan’s Choice chapters nationwide, he will likely face opposition from established clubs like the Hells Angels and the Outlaws. The result could be a new wave of biker violence in Ontario.
