A long time ago, December 1977, two friends and I were just starting our great OE.

We were in Amsterdam, we had partaken of all the delights that city could offer and were extremely wasted.

We spied a bar and decided to go for a drink. Didnt notice all the motorbikes outside ( we were not quite on this planet).

Turns out to be the Amsterdam chapter of the Hells Angels.

Had one of the best nights of those early days of travel.

All the members were really talkative and polite. Never felt threatened or intimidated.

They were club members not villians.

From what I hear, Ulysses is well on the way having already removed patches from its gear list.

TBH the Ulysses patch always seemed a bit naff anyway. Can't say I've ever wanted to wander around with a cartoon of a scruffy old man attached. A simple Ulysses top rocker would be enough.

I agree they are a bike club, just an illegal one(my opinion) who are no differant to the other gangs. I mean seriously, a bike club with fortified gang style headquarters?

**onearmedbandit** · 28th July 2009, 16:56

Why do you consider them 'illegal'?

There are already laws to deal with intimidating behaviour, criminal offences, unlawful assembly etc etc, but the police are too busy catching people with week late rego to bother with criminals.

I sincerely hope Hells Angels fight it all the way to the UN, and its costs the council a fortune.

I gotta watch my back.. maybe I'll cop a $2000 fine.

So long as you guys don't start any big drug trades or start bombing and shooting up places, you should be fine...

Isn't there a quote 'those who forgo liberties for freedom deserve neither'.

Well I see a poll on Stuff about this subject see nearly all voters saying they're gang.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I understand the Hells Angels are associated with crime.

The truth is the government could close down gang activity over night, they choose not to. A level of civil disobedience is required for governance, no difference to protection money that [say] the mafia would charge to restaurants. The government say we need 'protecting' from 'gangs' and charge exhorbitantly for the right. The latest move to take away civil rights IMHO could end with blood shed and misery-for the government much more than the gangs!....More likely twats like Law's will waste a great deal of tax payers money trying to defend the indefensible-and lose!
