What are your experiences with motorcycle gangs?

Hells Angels are moving into my area for the first time. I have a generally negative view of them, but have some friends who feel otherwise. I would love to hear your experiences related to the Angels specifically, but "1%" clubs as well.

Maybe the part with the drug trafficking, racketeering and gang violence inside their hobby club?

The clubs you're referring to call themselves "1%ers" because 99% of motorcycle riders don't do that kind of stuff. There are plenty of clubs that will kick you out if you break the law (speeding, wheelies, etc) when you're riding with them.

Like on television?

… and in real life. You don’t have to read many court papers before coming across biker gangs.
