Although the Oakland chapter of then Hells Angels is by far the most notorious, I do not think you can put them on the same level as Holland, Germany, or Canada. although they do make a lot of money in drugs, they do not control any part of the market as they do in Europe., mainly due to intense competition here.
Didn't Sonny leaving for Arizona take a lot of clout out of Oakland? I know in the '70s-'80s they were big time in to international trafficing with Austrialian Bikies, but not so much any more besides the cartel links. As for the West/Southwest chapters (Arizonia, NorCal, Nev), constantly fighting with the Mongols and Vagos for fifteen years has teken its toll in my opinion. That can't be good for business.
