You are a liar. A bald-faced liar. Hells Angels would not try intimidating "a
kid".


Secondly, if you were "a kid", no Hells Angel would bother with you in the
first place, and certainly would not take a chance on a bust (which would
include a body search, and search of the immediate area of the arrest scene)
for something so chickenshit as furnishing alchoholic beverages to "a kid".


Thirdly, I have met many Hells Angels over the years, and they have little or
nothing to do with `outsiders' who are not members of some recognized outlaw
club or other. They are like the Mafia in that respect; you would have to be
really `trying' to get intimidated by one of them, by either getting up in
ones face, or being involved in an illegal transaction with one or more of
them, and deliberately `burning' them.


If you are a `civilian' or a lone biker who just rides without affiliation to
an outlaw club, if you stay away from the Angels, and not try to be a
wannabe, or `groupie', they completely ignore you.


The Angels I met over the years, and talked to or drank beer with, were nice
to `civilians'. When something was going on they didn't want `civilians'
getting mixed into, they either took it elsewhere, or would ask the
`civilians' to leave.


There are (or were) two bars that were notorious hangouts for Angels and
Mongols. Both bars saw their share of shootings between the two clubs over
the years. `Civilians' were only involved either by accident, or they were
part of something (usually a drug deal or stolen bike parts) that one or the
other club was into and they were fighting over.


You may or may not have ever met an actual Hells Angel. But they weren't
trying to "intimidate" you (it wouldn't be necessary. If you fucked up with
them deliberately, they'd just shoot you out of hand), they wouldn't even
take notice of you. And if you were "a kid", they certainly wouldn't have
furnished you with alchohol.





And you can forget the "switch blade knives" bullshit. Thats kid stuff.
