3 of the people mentioned in the article were in their 50's.

Seems surprising to me....... I mean I can see the desire for easy money, but you would think it'd be younger people doing it.

Do you know what happens to a 20 or 30 year old after 20 years?

Its not about starbucks. Its about drugs. And who controls the drug trade in different areas/states. When violent criminals are fighting over millions of dollars, its not going to end in hugs and handshakes.

These are, for the most part, the bottomn rung of the latter. The worst scum out there. Thats pretty much what these MC's attract.

I wouldnt say that to their faces though.

It's my understanding that they usually start young in gangs, whether they be of the MC variety or typical street gang. Those who don't get killed, get old.

Yeah I remember reading some of the "laws" of some 1% club, talking about how new clubs can't be created unless they petition to the dominant club. WTF is that about? The whole idea of giving a shit whether another group of people call themselves a club and make vests for themselves is so ridculous I can't understand it. Unless it's simply about extortion and money -- Now that I can understand. But if it's about "Only the dominant club can show their colors in this town", that's fucking stupid. People should be beyond that after age 25 or so.

How about people just ride, and fuck hanging out w/others?

Or, if you're gonna ride with others, do it to GO somewhere (like the twisties)......not just to be SEEN or hang out at a bar or jam up a highway just to show your colors.

I guess if I was still in my 20's, there might be some social benefits I could get from being in a club......key word MIGHT.......but even that's a stretch. Why are people willing to put up with all that rules & regulations? Just so they can feel some esprit de corps? Join the military, then. Or get on a sports team.
