“I suggest you and others here do a better job of researching rather than relying on clearly biased sources.”

Right, and the cops and the media are completely reliable sources.

Criminals make up 1% of all motorcycle riders.
It just seems you and others have a problem with anyone in a motorcycle club. Plenty wear colors without being criminals.
There are trouble makers in any group of people.

Also compared to other “gangs” in this country, bikers are a miniscule percentage compared to other more PC groups.

Wonder why cops aren’t running around the clock surveillance on the Bloods, Crips, and MS-13?

Also as a percentage, money spent on investigation, and arrest numbers result in less convictions in “Biker Gang” cases than with any other form of “Organized Crime”.

There are some that deal, there are some that commit other crimes, but if you notice the media report most arrests are for “Weapons Charges”. When they get to court it turns out to be completely legal private sales.

As I told another poster, I grew up behind a guy who would become the East Coast Chapters President of what you would I’m sure consider the worst of the groups, Hell’s Angels. (Although, as far as crime, and being a$$holes they don’t come close to the Outlaws) Not once, never did I or my family ever have a seconds problem form him, or any of his friends. As a matter of fact they kind of pseudo adopted me (I was a fat kid) they toughened me up and taught me how to stand up for myself. Sorry if I don’t paint all club members with the same broad brush.

Out of a million bikers that went to DC you don’t think any club members were there? No one wore colors that day. There were no beefs, or turfs that day. They were there because Veterans founded most of the older clubs.

We aren’t bad for FR. If we are I expect JimRob, or the admins would let us know, and trust me I’ve had arguments with posters on this forum about many issues. Everything from getting jumped on because I celebrate St Patricks Day, to the candidates I support. Since I don’t give up on an argument in which I believe, I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
