Less so, since i moved here 13 odd years ago, but still visit members when i'm back in England who remain very good friends. I do not need to explain anything to YOU. I know already, you do not, with your blinkered prejudice, i am not wasting time explaining to someone whom i have never met, and who i do not know personally. Stick to sensationalist media and American tv series for your "info", and looking in from the outside. Me, i can look out from the inside.

Lets be honest, a bunch of one step above monkeys who cannot stand alone and be a normal person in the world. Look how tough I am on my big motorbike with 10 mates behind me. I wear a uniform so people will know I have friends who wear the same uniform so that means I can scare you, sorry , I mean me and my friends can scare you. Want to to prove you're a big hard man? Join the army and go do something useful. If history is correct the Hells Angels were started by ex army men after war and were exclusively Army men for the initial beginning time period of the Hells Angels. I would love for you to not hide behind your keyboard and say your words to their face. But then again that will never happen will it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Good few friends in UK who were, maybe some still are, bikers. Had one came over to Thailand last year and told a story about two of them who bought HD's and within weeks started to ignore everyone else to the point of refusing to help one of the guys who had a breakdown because his bike wasn't a HD. What you/anyone wants to make of that is entirely up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they all like Harleys, because it was considered unpatriotic to ride anything else after the war not because they were the best bikes around. The whole idea of the ranking system is army based as well and for me after 9 years in the army the last thing I need or want in civvy street is someone telling what I can and can't do on my bike or what kind of bike I have to ride or where I have to drink my beer or what I have to wear. If you happy to do that then carry on but I can assure you talking man to man, I assume that means let's find out who is the most intimidating physically or mentally, holds no interest for me.

Jai Dee Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hells Angels: Founding member of Thai chapter bashed as Australian bikies take over 'dark business' A member of the Hells Angels in Thailand says Australian bikies are taking over from local members — and says he wants the Thai Government to stop what he calls their "evil" influence. "Sin" smiles a lot for a man who — until recently — was the Hells Angels enforcer in Thailand. Thaksin "Sin" Monthonthaksin was one of the founders of the outlaw motorcycle club's Pattaya branch a year ago. But now he is worried about the direction it is taking. "It's changed so much because there are many Australians, whose roles and power has been increasing," Mr Thaksin told the ABC. Charity rides and oversized cheques are being replaced with what he describes as "dark business". Read the full story from Radio Australia here.

Fantastic bikes, way ahead of HD's in engineering, ok admit the paper mache electrics did have their problems but those and the Ducatis' were nice machines. I suppose when you look at the HD history Davidson was the Scottish engineer and Harley was the American guy who provided the cash then they really aren't American, they're Scottish bikes so HA's should really wear kilts with their Sporrans full of dollars.

Had a feeling there was a French connection http://www.moah.org/motorcycles/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=600&width=850 Quote 1895 was a crucial year for motorcycle developers. French firm DeDion-Buton introduced the engine (used in both cycles and light trucks) that enabled mass production of motorcycles. It was employed not only by DeDion, but subsequently was copied by other manufacturers, including Harley-Davidson and Indian. Its four-stroke design was light, developed high rpm and employed a more reliable battery and coil-type electic ignition, but the lubrication system was crude and wasteful. In Racine, Wisconsin, the Pennington Company was working on an internal combustion engine for a motorbike. The engine burned kerosene, and could rotate at speeds up to 500 rpm. The engines connecting rods were directly attached to rear axle cranks, an inflexible design and one that never entered production. America's first production motorcycle was the 1898 Orient-Aster, manufactured by the Mertz Company (Waltham, MA) using a copy of the DeDion-Buton engine. It was coupled to the rear wheel by a drive belt. Most early motorcycles were equipped with pedals so that an unlucky rider with a failed engine could still get home. They were also handy for getting a little extra uphill push and for starting the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ok by me. I still seem to remember from a tv show many years ago that the early HD engine was not so reliable or they had problems with production time. and some French parts were use on the early HD engines or even complete motors put in. Again i could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
