When I lived on the East Coast, I played in a band that worked all the Biker Clubs, Poker Runs, Keg parties, you name it. Out here, not so much, with the Bandidos and the Cossacks. Those guys scare me.
I never see any Hells Angels out here, but I know firsthand they do not like bad press. They were not involved in this.
I Massachusetts they teamed up with the U.S. Marines to run the "Toys for Tots" program, every Christmas. Hells Angels are everywhere, Little League Coaches, Restaurant owners, you name it.
But I've been around a lot of them. Serious dudes, too.
