Great

Now it's PC to glorify a bunch of loser, drug dealers and violent gangsters?
The Hells Angels name was taken from a World War II American fighter squadron.
If only the original Hell's Angels could fly over in a squadron of B-17s and eliminate this refuse. :rage:

Would you say that to even the smallest Angel's face?
I wouldn't.

I saw two driving on 101 on the Penisula yesterday. That's all so far.

One of the jobs I had when I was younger was as a kind of errand boy/sketch artist/janitor in a S.F. Tattoo shop where I was occasionaly around members of that particular club. I never had any rude treatment from them. Having said that, I think that their business is unethical,immoral and criminal but they generally keep to themselves. It's best to stick to watching "The Wild One" and let those others alone...

The HA

As many of you know I ride and rebuild vintage BMW motorcycles with sidecars what you might not know is that I also photographs many bike rallys and events.
May I shed some light on the Hels Angles ( HAs ). They do have some bad apples in their club and do @ times run some unlawful bussiness pratices. They are also very smart when it comes to their image as out law bikers, have coppied righted both their name and logo.
One thing that many do not know about them they have formed a comfederation of bike clubs nation wide that is two fold :
1: to get laws paced that are favoritable towards bikers
2: to consolidate the power of the clubs. So to all weekend harley riders who want to be the wild bunch and put on your leather like some bad ass bikers and go ride with your club, just let me say for your club to operate some one when it was formed had to agree to supporting the Hells Angles. Yep thats the way it work just think about it most of the toy runs @ xmas and the poker runs durning the year are sactions by the Hells Angles if they were not they would not happen. Most harley shop in the nation support the confereration i.e. the HAs if they did not well......
Now of course there are always excetions to this and not saying that all harley clubs belong to the conferation.
The one bike groupe that has not joined the conferation are the BMW riders. When I asked the prsident of the H.As of Northern Nevada about this he told me that the BMW riders are just to strange. Guess he might have ment me as I stood next to him camera in hand, khakis, with vintage cavalery boots, light weight 40s shirt and tan Fedora on my head, my 1964 BMW with sidecar sitting in the shade ready to take me out on the poker run. Where I would set up and take photos of the harleys and their riders as they went by. I find it funny that the HAs would say that a groupe of bikers are to strange for them to join a confederation of bike clubs.
Just thought I would add some light to the whole out law biker thing.

Any group that won't have you as a member, is not worth joining.
They can whitewash their group to try and divert public attention away from all the extortion, drug dealing, prostitution, and murders they have committed over the last 50 years, with all these so-called "charitable acts", but it doesn't change the fact that they are gangsters, criminals.
They are not "angels", they are not more than human. They are not above the law. They are not a group worthy of adulation and praise. Al Capone also used the charity trick in his career, to try to win some public support, but everyone knows what he was.

There was a movie, I think it was title Hells Angels 1969, and they showed part of it at Mondo Atomic in Las Vegas last January.
