    These guys are the real deal unlike todays outlaws they rode the highways seeking thrills and fun most had tasted war and wanted to be free of societies restrictions and they had come home to a country that didn't want them much respect to them

      They were the last type of outlaws, in that form. The outlaw still exist however its far and wide in-between. Everyone with a camera makes it hard to escape, say bitch and you are looking at a prison sentence. HST brought Bob Dylan to the HA and now we have The Times They Are A-Changin.

    Summer of '74 the HA came past where I was drilling a water well near Hwy 99 outside of Madera, CA. CHP helicopter and a couple of cruisers "escorting" them to Bass Lake, real fast. Nice to hear, for sure. Sherrif Ed Bates provided legal support, when needed.

    I "personally" witnessed a guy in the Oakland Hills get harassed by a couple of Oakland police officers (this guy was working on his chopper on the side of the road, "officer friendly" stopped because this guy was wearing H.A. colors... I stopped to see if I could help the rider out when the 1st cop pulled up. By the time it was over two cops were there asking this guy 1000 questions. Honestly, if I hadn't stopped to help they'd have arrested that guy & towed his scooter (one cop even complained that oil was getting into the grass!!)

    Lower east side was my stomping grounds in the 80’s amd 90’s.
    HA was the best thing that happened to E 3rd street.
    Back in the 70’s and 80’s early 90’s the LES was riddled with crime.
    They kept that street free from drug dealers and street hustlers no doubt.
    And the neighbors loved that about them. And were loyal defenders of them.

    Sandy seemed like a really really good guy. I'm 99% sure that I met him at Merlin's in Buffalo. Of all people I sit next to, I'm 99%... He seemed so hard to get a laugh out of (but I knew his true character by instinct)... He seemed sad and reserved but my younger buddies and I got him laughing. I could just see through whatever he had going on, that he was a good guy. It was early 90s.
    Glad we got him laughing that night, so sad to hear an icon is gone.

      You had to ask.... I thought the same thing and then your question sent me down a rabbit hole.. goes like this....
      I see the two guys , in a small office somewhere near the Angel's clubhouse... laid back office, "remo drums" sticker behind them and a Hendrix poster on the wall..maybe a record shop, or music store? then, at 27:56 dude answers the phone "brothers...brothers" I look up Angels address in nyc on google, and comments say 77 E. 3rd st. lower east side , so I search for a "brothers" business E 3rd st. nyc, and it is obviously too common a word because there are thousands of "brothers" businesses all over the area. So I scan the footage for business signs..and at 24:20 there it is..."Mother's Messengers" in bright squares. .. After learning the business name, I found it popped up mostly mentioned in several articles written about the second guy, the one at 30:49, named "Dee Pop" , he was a popular local musician, club manager, CBGB booking agent, and all around local legend. Hope that answers your Question .

    I Luv the old film & the interviews of their neighbors saying only good things. The guy in green saying itz a free country. The businesses saying jus their presence kept the neighborhood block undesirables/crime away. When we moved into our store front here in Vallejo Ca there would be undesirables lurking about day & night. My friend said to me that once we opened & our presence was here that the undesirables would fade away. My boyfriend is a biker but I'm the 1 thatz here 100% of the time,really never had to do anything but stand my ground. You know your conservative types are goin to judge you,make up their own stories of who you are for their lack of confidence. Plus you know the city will never give you credit for makin a blk in their city safer. Itz absolutely stupid for anyone to ever think you shit where you eat. I like what the old guy in green had to say. If you want to get rid of evil ppl letz start at the top w/ no double standards. L&R 81
