    Biker gangs

    Why is it that members of most biker gangs ride Harleys? Hells Angels, Rebels, and many of the other criminal organisations all seem to ride them! Why don't they ride mopeds? Or motards? Or sports bikes? Do they all ride Harleys just to try and make up for something they don't have?

    Maybe Harleys are easier to steal?

    Hells Angels formed about 8 years after the japs declared war on their country. So they rode american bikes..... Might have something to do with it.

    Harleys tend to be loud. They are large, and they have a lot of "presence".

    Seems a good fit to me.

    Ok if that is the case it must beg the question why do they wear German helmets then?

    Good point was just a thought..... The japs were loathed though, the germans had a bit of respect...

    Harelys are about the only bikes that will handle the generaly fat useless ass of a gang member.

    You know, maybe it's just me, but I have a real problem with gangs calling themselves "motorcycle enthusiasts."

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Image. I think it would be funny if they all dressed up like power rangers on sports bikes doing 300 clicks everywhere.

    ...you may find somewhere that Sonny Barger said of the Goldwing...if they were around a lot earlier they may have been the bike of choice...

    They are hardly about to admit to what we all know.... that they are organised criminals.

    They ride bikes the same way they conduct their criminal activities... aggressively and without regard for anyone else but their own selfish greed.

    NZ is far too tolerant of crime of any kind. Political correctness and human rights let this scum walk all over society.

    All criminals should be properly punished, not slapped into a taxpayer funded hotel for a free holiday.

    It is not unusual to see associates riding an occasional sports bike.

    They haven't earned enough from illicit drug sales to buy a HD... or haven't found one to steal yet.
