Sturgis?

Then a big group of bikers
came rumbling into the parking lot, and a big tough scary Hell's
Angel looking dude came stomping across the parking lot towards
me -- and then he sat down on the ground and played with my
puppy for a good ten minutes.


i have represented two groups of hell's angels during my career, and
they remain among the most gentlemanly, cooperative, and generous clients in
my memory.

This thread started out on topic, when somebody made a long
shot yet perfectly reasonable inquiry: he wanted to know if
he might run into any experienced fly fishermen while at Sturgis.

I responded by remembering a thundering line of bikers in Yellowstone (led
by hell's Angel's) so long it took 15 - 20 minutes to pass by.
My response was vaguely on topic, because I happened to be
standing in the water and fishing when all those bikes past by
(and it did make my ears hurt).

Now all of sudden we're debating whether Hell's Angels are nice
puppy lovers or not. I dunno. I remember in Eugene Oregon in 1966
when a bunch of Gypsy Jokers and Devils Disciples came up north
to Oregon, because they were all so wacked out on acid they
couldn't figure out if they wanted to be bikers or flower children.

Didn't take'em long to get right, however. Pretty soon they
were back to their old tricks, cutting off heads and burning
Diablos alive--with lighter fluid. This doesn't have much to do
with fly fishing anymore. But don't make no mistakes about
outlaw bikers. They like puppies just as much as anybody.
Throat slitting gets a good smile every now and then too.
