Bikers aren’t all thugs. Try seeing some of the world before commenting on it from your blinkered armchair.

“Bikers aren’t all thugs”

Hells Angels are.

Bikers aren’t all thugs.

There are outlaw gangs that make a living off organized crime and there are those who live nice quiet lives and simply like to ride.

My wedding reception was at a biker/sportsman's club. In fact they accepted a lot of non riders as members. My wife and I used to got to the club for Sunday morning breakfasts on a regular basis.

“Bikers aren’t all thugs.”

Your comment reminded me of an “ex” Hell’s Angel that I while working as a project manager on a large construction job in Charlotte, NC back in 1995. I was doing ministry work at night and found out that the old church we were ministering in was up from the corner of Trade and Tuckasegee where a Hell’s Angel bar used to be. My friend told me that they used to get drunk and shoot at the “Jesus Saves” sign that was on the roof at the time. He couldn’t believe that he was now saved and helping me to work on the building.

His life away from work was a literal hell, between family members staying in trouble, and the feds harassing him. I lost touch with him in 1997 and had no luck trying to find him until your post prompted me to try a “Bing” search on his name. It turns out that my friend stuck a knife in somebody in a biker bar in Rock Hill last May. Apparently he is still an active Hell’s Angel as he is listed on their website.

The funny thing was how my four year old daughter walked up to this fellow who was well over six feet tall, with a big belly, and patted that belly calling him her “Buddy Bill”. He had tears running down his face.

I am going to visit him in prison as soon as I find out where he is.

Come on Buddy, you can't be saying that the HA have any socially redeemable qualities, because they have absolutely none.

I ride my bike with lots of normal people. I know lots of people who also ride bikes. We're not thugs, but the HA are criminals period. Did you know that outlaw bike gangs run half of the whores in this country. Until ten years ago, they sold most of the 'crank' BTW, the reason speed is called crank is because bikers often carried speed inside the cover of their bikes engine. Get it?

Bikers aren’t all thugs.

But Hell's angels ARE!

Read for context. It will keep you from looking like a fool.

[free me]

Bikers? WTH are you talking about? This guy was a criminal, a gang member, they deal drugs and murder people, among other crimes.

Bloods,Crips,Hells Angels,Mafia all scum.

Stop romanticizing scumbags because you like their rides.

I reiterate: Dead dirt-bag good riddance!
