Easy riders, free loaders

The Stockholm chapter of the Hell's Angels biker gang is under investigation for benefit fraud after police noticed that 70 per cent of its members were claiming state disability payments after being certified as depressed by the same doctor.

Christer Nilsson, deputy head of Stockholm police's criminal investigation department said: "It seems to be depressing being a member of this club."

The Hell's Angels have a violent reputation in Scandinavia, allegedly participating in frequent shootouts and bomb attacks. However, in recent years they are believed to have branched out into benefit and tax frauds, police said.

Nothing more pathetic than an over the hill gangster, sitting on a stinking hog, crying like a little girl because he can't kick start his vicious criminal mind and body like he used to.

With them folks I think they are more Climate challenged, I'm sure that there is a day or two of decent weather.

Hi pepperdog-

My bet is that they rely on quality leathers, Aerostich suits, and electrically-heated vests, gloves, grips, and socks. In fact, I would love to extend my riding season with a couple of these simple garments.

During WWII the USAF had an electric flight suit, and I'm sure that concept has used for cycling.
