Hells angels

The Hells Angels are holding a gathering in Laconia, NH (next town over). they are expecting about 2000 of them. My understanding is they did this a few years ago as well. No problems then and none so far, although my wife said the local PD does have a tank (or maybe an armored personnel carrier) on hand

There most likely wll not be any problems.

They're not the same club as in the past.

There are three clubhouses within 30 miles of here, and we see and interact with many of them on a regular basis.

People watch too much TV. As was mentioned at several recent COC meetings, it isn't 1970 anymore, it's time to move on. I doubt there will be any issues of consequence.

The HA are the least of my worries, ABATE of AZ holds a get together every year called "Too Broke for Sturgis". This year's bash was held last weekend and on Friday night, 4 people were shot and 3 of them died. These were folks who got into an argument over food at a campsite. I'm sure alcohol had something to do with it as well. None of those involved were affiliated with any club.

I'm sure the Red and White will behave themselves in Laconia. There's always a lot of eyes on them.

HA church is in a section of Laconia, and has been a long time, many years. They have a nice building there too. The only way they mess with us, is if we mess with them first. They remind me of the 3 Musketeers. One for all, all for one. Just don't be the one they all go for

The Laconia cops are probably out , busy stealing lids in a lid free state. I watched that done, and have my wife as a witness.

Banditos had their World Wide Rally in Moab, while I was there a few year ago. They weren't overly friendly, but didn't cause any problem. Just kept to themselves for the most part.

You know, Kawanow has its get-to-gethers, and everyone has a great time. :) There's no reason the membership here should be surprised that others might think it to be a great idea as well. Sitting around enjoying a substance of your choice, swapping stories about how they get to the front of every line faster then anyone else. ::) How an old lady drove off the road while looking at them. The man who wet himself ::) when they approached him for change for the parking meter. The flames from the campfire swirl-ling into the air, reminding everyone that there really is angels in hell.
Just think about the local stores making extra money from the marshmallow and chocolate sales.

Yeah, but we don't have any rockers, does that mean we are off our rockers?

People have a lot more serious stuff to worry about here in the US.

I'm saying if you ride you don't need one.
Not everyone needs to be in a MC and annouce to the world with patches and rockers that they do ride. Hell, you don't need to wear black, do-rag or leather. Just go ride someplace.

I never have been part of that crowd, but then I am not part of any crowd...
