Well most of them were vets. They all hated communism and are very patriotic. So that would explain it.

That might also explain all the hate they get here.

Well to be fair, my father shot a Black Panther in the head with a .38 back in ‘74 and that SOB lived, too.

BP brought a knife to a gun fight. It’s never a good idea to attack an armed police officer with a knife. Not only did that idiot suffer permanent brain damage but he went to prison for 10 years.

Needless to say, he never carried a .38 again. He bought a .357 (which did effectively kill when it was used a couple of years later) until his department mandated Glocks in the early 90’s.

For anyone who ever rode a motorcycle and dreamed of the open road, the chief was the archetypical prototype. See, for those of us who ride, he represented the thing that we all desired. There's not many of us who wishes he had a house, a car, and a mortgage. We all dream of riding the open road, and basically pretend for 5 days a week in our suit and tie. We dream of simpler times.

Sonny, we'll miss you. For those of us who were around for the days of living in a hole in the wall, hiding from the citizens, and scrounging for a piece of toast, to being the thing that millions of men dreamt they were, was a spectacle with no equal. I can't speak for the mothership, but 40 years of prosperity and eventual acceptance of bikers as actual people is something we'll always be indebted to you and others like you for; guys who paved the way and gave us a chance to be more than an outcast and a second class citizen. Guys who sometimes made huge sacrifices, risked prison, and worse, to show the walking dead out there that it was ok to live, to be free, and be something more than the denizens of society that we were portrayed as.  

We got a chance to do something for the kids too. People less fortunate than we were. We raised millions for the cause, and gave the kids a christmas because we remembered when we, as kids, didn't have one. Although people who never did anything to help were always quick to judge, and to say it was nothing more than a stunt, we all knew better, and frankly, didn't care what anyone else thought. We did some good for people who needed and appreciated the help, without ever demanding anything in return.

May you find an open road and keep two fists in the wind. Ride good.

This is the part that always bothers me about certain counter cultures.  It's not just bikers but also hippies, van lifers, ski bums, and bands guys.  These lifestyles DEPEND on the "walking dead" showing up and going to work to produce everything that the leisure class gets to enjoy.

I understand the appeal and I've been there myself in my early 20s but I've come to respect the "walking dead" who punch the clock from 9 to 5 in order to create the world that is so interesting to go roam freely in the first place.  Every single thing you consume every single day was created by some working schmuck somewhere.  Even the roads you drive on where built by guys who had to report in for their shift and never had the luxury of saying "fuck it" and hit the road on their bike with no destination or timeline.  Not everyone gets to live free and roam from hole in the wall to hole in the wall subsisting on the excess that spills over from the producers.

I don't have any problem with people living that life if they can find a way to make it work but always humble yourself with the reality that it's a luxury to live that way, no matter how quantifiably poor you may be while living it.  

In being humble, you don't call the people working doing the boring but necessary work of building society and raising the next generation "the walking dead".

As to everything else you said, believe me I understand.

His stator quit on him in Oklahoma in '04 or '05, and we went out and picked him up and brought him to the shop in Joplin. The shops in OK didn't want colors in their shops and wouldn't help him. We had a stator in stock and had him going pretty quick.

He was a super nice guy, was very respectful to all of us, and they sent us a box of HA tee shirts as a gift when they got back to AZ. I still have mine, somewhere (There were only smalls by the time I got to the box, and I'm 6'2").

His bike was a very plain turquoise Road King, with a plaque on the dash. A gift from the Angels, it said, IIRC.

RIP. Super stand-up guy. Didn't expect anything special.

You really aren't very bright, are you?

Let me type it slowly for you so you can maybe understand it better. (Or, do I need to write it out in crayon on my screen?)

The government sucks. So do members of criminal biker gangs. (And, yes, so do liberals and politicians of all ilk.)

There isn't some metric which requires us to worship one bunch of criminals because they're less bad than others.

The local kiddy diddler hasn't touched my daughters or infringed on my liberty. Should I invite him to babysit my girls? I mean, he didn't kill Randy Weaver's wife, so he must be a nice dude.

Putting a group of criminals on a pedestal because you feel their crimes aren't as bad as the crimes of another group is fucking retarded.

By your metric, you need to admit the FBI, IRS, and ATF aren't really that bad because they haven't killed as many people as the Gestapo, SS, NKVD, or KGB.

What is your issue with van lifers?


I don't have an issue with van lifers.  If you can swing it, do it.  I have an issue when people living those kinds of nomadic lifestyles talking derisively about people who work 9 to 5 like somehow they are stupid chumps.  Those lifestyles only exist in the first place because of poor schmucks working 9 to 5.

I saw it a lot when I was working in music.  I saw more than a few musicians living free and adventurous lifestyles on the road developing an entitlement attitude and a form of snobbery towards regular working stiffs who punched a clock from 9 to 5 and then spent time with their families on the weekend leaving very little time for the kind of adventures that  we are talking about here.  I have this opinion because I've been there.  In my 20s I was in a band, with a record deal, and spent a lot of time having adventures on the road and basically living off of everyone else's hard work while I had the time of my life.  I've seen it from both sides now and I "get" that what I did is not something that everyone can do.  It's physically impossible.  The world doesn't get clothed, fed, and housed on me going around and playing music.  It's an awesome privilege to be able to live an life an adventure, not an entitlement.

I'm not trying to make this out to be a bigger deal than it is because it's not.  Just recognize that these kinds of subcultures are a product of the excess of our system, not some natural state that men find themselves in when freed from the bounds of society.

I ran a decent sized motorcycle event for a bunch of years.  In that capacity I dealt with many Northeast chapters of the Hell's Angels.  Big Red Machine (NYC), New Rock City (New Rochelle NY), NY Nomads, CT Nomads, Bridgeport, Hard Hittin Hartford, Cape Cod, Berkshire County (MA), Rhode Island and possibly a few others.  They were always respectful and there was never a problem.  If there was an issue or a request we never failed to come up with a reasonable solution.  I had a good relationship with several members who I interacted the most with.  What they did away from my events is none of my concern.

For years I rode and frequently with 1%guys.
Most of those guys came up in the MC culture in the mid to late 60’s.
They were an interesting bunch, but had become caricatures of what they though “civilians” thought they should be. Kind of sad, but they seemed to enjoy it.
Almost  to a man you couldn’t trust them and I sure didn't sleep around them.

The clubs will declare a truce the "scoots," will be polished up and the procession will last for miles. Man-o-man I'd love to see something like that. If you haven't already read "Hell's Angels" by Hunter Thompson. It describes another time and place but still a hellava read.

Read it decades ago. Interesting insight into the lifestyle.

In my younger days (mid 80's-mid 90's) I partied around/with a few OMC members, Hell's Angels, BPMs, Sons of Silence, El Foresteros, Banditos, Dry Riders, probably a couple more. Never had any problems with any of them.

Only ever saw one guy get KTFO. Guy was being an ass, bigger guy, in good shape/muscular. Sassing off about how bikers thought they were tough guys. 1%'er kept his cool probably longer that I would have. Asshole guy shoved the biker, biker said "I wouldn't do that again if I were you", Dickhead says "You're not me" as he's coming in raising his hands to shove the biker again. He never connected, the next thing he made contact with was his face in the dirt.

Never had a desire to join, I don't kiss anybody's ass so I can hang out with them, I'm not anybody's fucking "gopher", too many rules for "Freedom".

Yup...the .gov screws up more lives and commits more crimes than the HA ever did..the .gov just hated the competition.

I believe the phrase you're looking for is "small-minded".

Again - they beat up my DAUGHTER.  FUCK THEM.  

I'm not too keen on apologists for them, either.

I read somewhere that he had a falling-out with HA in the later years, and was persona non grata.  Might not be as big a turnout as some think.

Don't you have some crow to eat about the Hell's Angels' volunteering to be the government's lap dogs in Vietnam?
