Well, I guess the Hell’s Angels “types” have turned out to be some of the most patriotic folks we know. Maybe they were all along, but I admit, I was afraid of some of those big ol’ dudes when I was younger.
My hubby rode a motorcycle but it was a Honda or a Yamaha. Not as much stigma to those. I even rode behind. I could never get the hang of changing gears with your feet. LOL!
Yeah, I actually intensely dislike Harleys and don’t ride a cruiser (that style of bike), nor do I ride a fully-enclosed ‘crotch rocket’ style motorcycle. Mostly I’m on ‘standard’ Hondas. Annnnd I still have been treated like I was one of the Hell’s Angels that just robbed a bank. Sitting in a park on a bench, bike in a parking spot nearby, literally eating my lunch and reading a book on my phone - and here come the cops to roust me because “a biker just robbed some place”. I later found out it was just an excuse - they *already* knew that what they were looking for a no-helmet bearded guy wearing the B-movie pirate gear so many Harley riders love on a red Harley with a flame job tank. My description? No beard, clad in all black textile riding gear, black helmet, all black Honda.
Yeah. Not even close. And yes, the dispatch recordings confirmed that they knew the correct identification points ahead of time.
Not the first time either.
