In the past I have posted that at some point there would be Congressional Investigation of all this. Now I wonder. Bikers are not coal miners or college students. Those inquiries may never materialize. Even if Trump is elected and we can turn the USA around to a new course bikers may not generate sufficient sympathy to motivate opening all this to daylight. Bikers are not college students and this ain’t the USA of 1970.

They’re also not all “innocent motorcycle enthusiasts”. Some of them do, in fact, engage in organized crime and start shootouts with other criminal biker gangs in broad daylight.

Glad you are starting to figure this stuff out.

These are not the bikers of 1970 either. Hunter S Thompson wrote in his "Hell's Angels" (1966) that the oldest Angel then riding was 36 years old. I know seventy year old retired business men, wealthy by most standards, and many retired military, who are still riding and flying colors.

.
I’ve known lots of bikers that were upper tier corporate executives. (in the ‘60s, Bay Area)

Maybe Texas is different.
