I never hear anybody saying anything good about bikers until I read your posts.
Living here in CA I've seen bikers on the roads since I've been a kid. There was an elderly couple who lived on our street who had their 3 grandchildren and niece and nephew living with them while the mothers and fathers aunts uncles and cousins were out riding with the biker gang. I don't know which one but they were Mexican from LA county so I'm guessing they were the Mongols since that's the only Mexican bikers I know of. They were in and out of jail/prison CONSTANTLY. So for about 15 years the grandparents took care of the kids. The biker dad had one of them side cars on his bike and he would have his chola wife with the big beehive hair painted eyebrows riding in the side. They'd always have some other bikers with them making all kinds of noise down our street which was maybe every couple of years lol since they were always locked up or riding.
Another biker dude I knew was old man Ken the coolest bad ass white dude I know. He was a heavy line mechanic at my work and a vet fought in the Korean War. He said he rode with the Hells Angels while living in Norco. He said most of the time they would drink and brawl and get into all sorts of trouble. I believed him too cuz that dude would kill you in a heartbeat if you messed with him.
Another biker dude I knew was my pops old coworker from jersey, the Wolfman, who after getting fired was always scheming and hustling, a degenerate gambler living out of a garage had a son who followed in his footsteps. The son got locked up for murdering some young kid. Not sure which biker gang he was affiliated with if any. My Pops felt sorry for him so he invited him over one year for turkey and lasagne cuz he had no family here at that time for the holidays. He came in with his long beard and biker jacket get up on. My Mom almost had a heart attack lol but he was such a good looking nice man underneath all that stuff. It was the first time I met an Italian Jersey biker dude. Now to me that was funny.
Not too far away from me last year there was something going down on the freeway between two biker gangs Mongols & Hells Angels. One or both of the guys with the beef ended up dead on the fwy.
So when I THINK of bikers I associate them with crime and disorder except for one group I've seen.
There are some churchy bikers I have run into in Anaheim. They just talk about religion and riding into the sunset.
