Are they really anything more than a bunch of accountants nowadays?

I'm sure that like any group there's wrong uns, but are they really worth such a police presence?

there is a scene in an animated classic from the book Animal farm
where the Pigs come to look like men & the men start to look like Pigs
when not so long ago they were diametrically opposed...

They're not getting together to discuss the relative merits of Panhead vs Shovelhead engines.

there is a big problem with Bike Gangs in some European countries. Germany especially has more than its share of serious incidents.

Your local charter probably throws open parties regularly head on down and ask em how many are accountants.

[Polarbear]

They have PR, they have open days, they have accountants and they have people who will put a gun to your head and pull the trigger.

In some places, yes.

The report doesn't say much; it could equally apply to a Bulldog prior to the 'Angels vs Outlaws shooting.

The only patch-wearers I've met are two members of Satan's Slaves on a night out in Leeds. One of them tried to start a fight with us because we gave a friendly greeting, then his friend pulled him away and apologised.

Not sure if the guy was super drunk or thought that getting kitted up in tagged up demin made him untouchable...

I've come across a few and they seem to be nice with general public and bikers.

It's people wearing other back patches in their area they dislike.

About 2 year ago I went on my cousins stag do and ended up in a biker bar in Manchester. Literally about 10 of us in standard clothing and all of them had back patches. Stereotyping had me thinking we would either have our heads kicked in or told to leave, but no one batted an eye lid and it was just like being in any other bar

I can remember the HA turning up en masse at Stonehenge festival cruising round with sawn offs and axes starting trouble and shaking down the dope dealers and the Road Rats were even scarier. I used to know a few Vikings too when they were a young club and they were a right shambles.
There are older wiser heads in these clubs now I suppose and they have calmed down a fair bit. The ones i've met since seem a mellow bunch on the whole.

I remember in our early days of biking, there was like 6 of us who rode together. We made a little group, created a logo and name and got our selves some jumpers (i know, i know ).
We used to go to this biker bar and stop off for a fag and a little peak at the big bikes parked up outside. One day my mate stopped by for a drink and a cig' and he told us he got approached by an outlaw, who told him to take his jumper off and asked him where he got it from, he said we could never wear the jumpers again and that if we wanted to we needed permission from the Outlaws… Apparently he was friendly about it (doesn't sound like he was) and said he was doing it for my friends own good by warning him and taking his jumper, he never returned my friends jumper and we never wore the jumpers again ontop of our jackets lol

I've never understood why they get so hostile, especially over a bunch of 17year olds on 125's wearing some jumpers with a picture of a skull and shitty font on.

I don't understand factionalism within the biking community.

I wave to every biker I pass on the road. Many don't wave back.

Separatist hard-core 'biker groups' don't promote or represent the fundamental ideology of biking.

[yen_powell]

They all lost a lot of credibility after Every Which Way But Loose.
