Biker Murdered On M40

[Edicap]

Just on the BBC news and the website, a biker returning from the Bulldog Bash has been murdered on the M40 in Warwickshire. Shot dead apparently with the police looking at motorbike gang links as a "strong line of inquiry".

Fucking hell. That is some seriously heavy stuff.

I lived in Leamington while I was at uni and I remember there being a whole thing about "oh, leave that guy well alone - he's a biker!"

I found that funny and a bit odd. But obviously there's something deeper behind it than just the 1970s biker gangs that just used to get a bit rowdy in pubs and drive without helmets.

Murder is never good. A biker murdered is always bad news. One less brother on the road.

People dont avoid you round the leamington area if your a biker.

The guy probably upset someone at the bulldog bash and tried making a runner.

That or a wanna be hells angel decided to prove himself and go and shoot a biker.

Hated the amount of people who thought they were hells angels or part of some other biker gang who were big and powerful, cos they were always weedy little small men making empty threats in a small bike shop, not exactly big, hard or intimidating



And damnit, forgot it was bulldog this weekend, wanted to go but ended up working instead

bulldog bash may be run by hells-angels but i bet it wernt any of them who did it,

& surely theres witnesses on this, a car beside a bike going along suddenly `bang` then the biker falls off, then a green rover legs it someones seen the car,people,reg

If the person that did this is lucky the cops will catch them before the HA do.

Lets leave the speculation out of this.

Somebody on a bike got shot 20 miles away from the Bulldog Bash.

I'm sure the papers will make loads out of this. Let's wait for the facts.

Cheers,

I'm just hoping that the angles manage to keep a grip. I dont want to see a return of the 'Angels/Outlaws politics and violence.

I'd not seen any trouble all weekend, just a load of Bikers having a really good time. All the 21st is going to be remembered for now is that this poor guy got killed on his way back.

[Cigaro]

If this guy was indeed murdered because he was a hells angel, then there are some sad, pathetic people in the world to shoot someone over that.

Now I don't know exactly what being a HA entails, but all those that I've ever met are perfectly lovely people who just love riding motorcycles.

Makes me angry that people chose to live their lives by all this 'Gang warefare' shit.

[Kal]

Going back years most of the trouble in this Country was spilled over from stateside chapters of the HA and the Outlaws, who again on their own are the nicest people you could want to meet and damn good people to have around when it all goes pairshaped.

The last seven or eight years the clubs have been trying to get along. I can remember being surprised at patched up senior Hells Angels being at the Rock and Blues, turns out they were there as special guests of the Outlaws.

The roots of the 1%er trouble in the states was usually territorial claims, at times most of the 1%er clubs have financed themselves through illegal activities and stepped on one anothers toes doing so.

As I understand it there is still fighting going on over drugs and territory in Canada.

Facts

A biker was shot on his way home from the bull dog bash

He was a hells angel

HA's are known to be involved with drugs and the like

Fiction

Jamie stokes has lost weight

[Cigaro]

Although I've only met a few, all the HA's I've met have not been involved with anything dodgy at all.

Apart from the fact that they're all major potheads, that is

[hellkat]

[Cigaro]

Personally, I think the explanation for this is quite simple.

Dickhead gets hold of gun, dickhead wants to appear 'ard, dickhead shoots someone for no reason.

Simple as that.

Mods:

Is it possible to stitch together all the threads about this subject, as its getting very tiresome jumping about from thread to thread and be pissed off and upset all at the same time.

well its started

the itv news reporter has already said that he was a hells angel, it was a big feud and of course "he was going so fast...."
and thrown in some drag and donut footage.

nobody knows anything for sure but the media is already painting him as a bad guy

anyone recognise the bike?

if a bikers bad cause hes on 2 wheels then a car driver must be twice(thrice if you count the spare and steering) as bad and an hgv driver a raging loony

thankfully, as usual channel 4 gave an open minded view of events
