Greetings denizens
I just ran into a chap I hadn't seen in a while - he was lurking in a bus shelter up the road with a bag of fried chicken and chips, waiting for a mate to turn up to give him a lift somewhere.
He informed me that a bike gang chapter I'd assumed to be long defunct has been re-established - indeed, he opened his coat to show me his colours, complete with "1%" and "13" patches.
I assume they're re-establishing it because, following the recent conviction of all the members of the primary rival gang in this region (the feud with which led to most of the original members being banged up nearly EDIT: over twenty years ago) for murder, they now regard the coast as clear
The existence of this chapter has only ever ended in tears, deaths, and long prison sentences in the past. It'll be intriguing to see how it all ends up this time.
However, I remember the words of a former member - indeed, in the late Sixties a founder member - talking to me in a pub around 1985:
"The <chapter> are a great bunch of lads, and I won't hear a word said agin 'em! But I tell you what: I ran with The <chapter> for fifteen years... and where the **** did it get me?"
Thinking back, I've just remembered that he said that when the then-extant chapter were all sat at the next table to us, able to hear every word. I'd never met this guy before, so I didn't want to disagree with him given that he was an ex-member and therefore presumably capable of extreme violence; on the other hand, agreeing with him might have led the chapter to infer an insult, and you don't want to insult an entire chapter of Hell's Angels if you're hoping to able to walk sometime in the next six months. I ended up saying "Mmm", nodding in an understanding but non-committal manner, and swallowing a large quantity of my pint in case I had to leave in a hurry.
Once I got to know the guy, I realised my fears - about him, at least - were misplaced, and he became a great friend; he was one of the most remarkable characters I've ever had the good fortune to know. Dead now, sadly
Before they made him, they broke the mouldComment
