The Swole Boys Motorcycle Club is a motorcycle club located in the Inland Empire, specifically the Southside of San Bernardino on Mayans MC, a spinoff of the FX original series Sons of Anarchy. They make their debut on the season two episode "Xaman-Ek".
History[]
The Swole Boys are a relatively new motorcycle club seemingly with little to no real recognition outside their turf, as Mayans Santo Padre charter member, Angel Reyes claimed to have no idea who they were. Seemingly stemming from their lack of experience and fame, they try to put on a tough attitude towards visitors who are in their territory. It's membership comprises of mostly white individuals with some Asian Americans, their colour is mostly blue, they ride sports bikes, and their club patch is a raging gorilla. They are also weight-lifting enthusiasts and use a gym as their clubhouse.
Season 2[]
"Xaman-Ek"[]
When Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes and Angel Reyes travel to Stockton in order to exact revenge on Happy Lowman for the murder of their mother, the two make a stop to fill in gasoline. Two members of the Swole Boys, "Todd" and "Brad", ride up on them at a gas station. Todd begins to berate and threaten Angel, as he feels the two Mayans are trespassing on the Swole Boys' territory. In response Angel insults them, calling them the "Slow Boys" with EZ poking fun at their lack of intellect.
As the two Swole Boys members try to attack them, Angel pulls out a gun, saying that wearing a vest and riding a motorcycle is not proof of being a real club. Deeming the two Swole Boys members and their tough talk attitude with embarrassment, he orders them to leave, which Todd and Brad comply with.
While reassuming their path the Reyes brothers go to an arcade to have fun playing some games. However, a female affiliated with the Swole Boys gives away the brothers' location to the club, prompting the arrival of their members.
The club arrives trying to take payback for their previous humiliation which fails when the Reyes brothers fight back with golf clubs creating an opening for Angel to retrieve his gun. Angel shoots a nearby car knowing it will attract the police. The two then ride away with the Swole Boys in pursuit, with EZ successfully kicking a member out of balance snd causing him to crash. When the police arrive, Angel suggests they suspend their skirmish as avoiding law enforcement is more important. The Swole Boys President agrees, warning Angel that their issue is not settled.
The Swole Boys and the Reyes brothers all take different paths, creating a smokescreen that blinds the police in pursuit, causing them to crash, allowing the brothers to escape.
"Lahun Chan"[]
While driving through Berdoo, the Swole Boys spot the Mayans, they immediately begin to attempt to ram the rival club and are successful in knocking Michael "Riz" Ariza off his bike. Swift retaliation from the Mayans ensues, Neron "Creeper" Vargas stops the van and jumps out with a shotgun, shooting at the Swole Boys as they ride off in to the distance.
The Mayans and the Sons of Anarchy, San Bernardino charter arrive outside the Swole Boys gym, their clubhouse. The President steps out and is immediately aggressive to Les Packer and Obispo "Bishop" Losa. The President explains that it was payback for last week when two Mayans started beef with their club. Bishop quickly realises it was Angel and EZ. Packer steps forward and Bishop apologises, explaining it was their bad after all. Packer assures Bishop he will educate the Swole Boys on how outlaw clubs run in Berdoo. Riz is bought forward and immediately shoots Brad in the leg, prompting immediate retaliation from the Swole Boys, they are forced to step down when the Sons and the Mayans draw their guns. The Swole Boys only bought their biceps to the gunfight. Packer says he will return to speak to the Swole Boys President soon and the clubs leave.
