Federal agents raid Hells Angels sites across the West

[Red Dawn]

If the Feds really want to go after some nasty mofo's they should target the Mongols MC! In Ca the Mongols make the HA's look like Boy Scouts. While there are many HA's that don't drink, fight or do drugs you would be hard pressed to find a member of the Mongols MC that didn't have a prison record. That's because the Mongols do a lot of recruiting from the Prison System for their membership.

My fathers business partner is the ex Treasurer of the Local Merced Chapter of the HA's. A more laid back guy wou can't find. He's a father of 3 boys, his wife is a School Teacher in Merced and he lives in a Million Dollar home in an exclusive Neghborhood of Merced. He didn't make his money selling drugs or guns (he doesn't do drugs or even drink), in fact he already had his house and possesions before he became a member. He eventually left the Club due to the bad publicity it was giving his company. This came after the infamous gunfight between the HA's and the Mongols in a Laughlin Nevada Casino a couple of years back.

Now that is just one guy and I am sure that some of those arrested fit the profile of Outlaw Bikers that many of you have. Keep in mind though that there are thousands of members of the HA's just on the West Coast and there was only 57 of them arrested.

Items seized in Los Angeles included about 50 firearms and a quarter-pound of suspected methamphetamine, bureau officials said.

Man that seems more like a personal stash than a big Drug and Gun Running Scheme. I know Fund A Mental Case Christians who probably own close to 50 guns, though they aren't Military issue.

Thats really neat but in California a million dollar home is usually close to only 3,000 sq ft. 🙁 In Texas its probably closer to 6,000 - 7,000. 🙂 I cant remember if it was the HA that did that Santa Claus toy run. When it comes through Arlington, TX it spans several miles. Really neat to drive by and watch them.

In Merced it's more like 4500+ Sq Ft. My Parents have a 3000 Sq Ft and it was appraised at a little over a half a Million. Also keep in mind that it isn't in Texas which adds a lot of value to it.

Oh yes, Ive been to LA a few times. Now given, its not Merced, and some of the area around it is really pretty - once the pollution clears up enough to see through it. Yorba Linda was especially nice (to visit not live). Earthquakes, pollution, state income tax, nutty politics run amok, etc just arent my cup of tea. :brokenheart:

Yet another Hijacked Thread

No LA is not Merced, nor is it the South Bay Area, San Diego or Northern California. Saying the rest of CA is like LA is as foolish as saying all of Texas is like El Paso. I also have read that Texas has a pretty bad problem of it's own with pollution (hopefully like CA they have made great strides in cleaning it up) Earthquakes for the most part are cool and as for nutty politics, well seeing that 3 out of the last 4 Governors in CA have been Republican I guess you have a point, though in reality it makes more for interesting Tabloid reading more than anything else.

Jesse James of West Coast Choppers and Monster Garage calls them "Cake Decorators" LOL🙂 They make great looking Choppers but I wouldn't want to own one to ride. They are more "Trailer Bikes" than everyday rides.

My GF walks to work almost everyday and drops in to Jesse's place on PCH when something new is in the showroom. She is a 9th grade teacher and used to ride
when she was in her 20's. She always gets a warm welcome at WC Cycles.......:sun:

EDIT: Not PCH, Anahiem St. near the LA River.

Good. Those bastages are flooding entire communities with meth and weapons.

And the rest are all bullies and intimidators of society. I agree that most, but not all, belong behind bars if they choose to be unlawful or disturbances.

Just because you are easily intimidated by their looks it doesn't mean they are Bullies (though some are). I was at the NE Bike Show a couple of weeks ago and the HA's had a number of booths selling their shirts, hats and stuff. They even had a brand new Harley that were selling raffle tickets for (at $20 a pop). Yeah some of them looked like Bad Asses (especially the Dude with the Tatooed head) but I didn't see one instance of them acting like Bad Asses. In fact, all the people at the show seemed real friendly. Also like Bobberfett noted earlier, some of HA's looked more like they belonged in a Corporate Boardroom than on a Bike.

JJ layed down a Challenge to them for a Build Off to be aired on DISC. JJ actually makes a lot of his own parts where as OCC is great at making a ph call to order parts , thus the label "Cake Decorators". Both shops are great at making "Trailer Bikes"

BTW I don't know it it has been mentioned but the Hells Angels were founded by returning WW2 Vets from the European Theater in SoCal around 1948. Their roots are actually very patriotic.

A Link to JJ's challenge. JJ's handle is vanillago-rilla

That's just part of the fun. If your ass isn't on fire after a day in the saddle then you're not a real biker. 😉

My bike is more modified than most of the Harley's on the road being ridden 3 miles a week by bankers and doctors. People almost as soft as you, Red.

There you go again with the sexual connotations. Trust me when you get as old and grizzled as me nothing is soft, just ask Geekbabe😉

I'm not real sure if I wanna enter a discussion concerning you dudes and your butts.I will say I'm probably going to get a bike in the spring and rear end comfort is going to have to be a bit of a factor cause I'm a bit of a hard ass normally🙂
