my old man brought me this teeshirt back from san fran

[67cst]

he was down at some chopper shops and scored me this shirt, its kinda cool , he said the guy at the store said that all the money they make from these shirts goes towards a biker or bikers that got locked up for something, he didnt catch the whole story, maybe someone on here could fill me in on it, anyways i think its a pretty cool shirt and i know ill be the only guy around with it unlike the million west coast choppers shirts

[krazy_texan]

neat shirt sounds like an even neater story

[67cst]

yeah, if no one knows about it on here i think ill look into it myself, i also think it sounds kinda interesting

i might be able to find out for you if your interested. i`m a mechanic at a harley dealer about a hour north of s.f. and i can ask a couple guys at work. one of the parts guys is friends with alot of biker club members and grew up in the area and he might know something about it.

[67cst]

yeah anthony that would be awesome, thanks a ton!

hahaha seen a few of those before. There are a lot of local shirts with that kind of theme. frisco has a crazy amount of chopper/bike shops. "Crime Inc." is also a frisco theme. Good stuff though.

I'm sure it's for wrongly convicted bikers, don't worry your little noggin. I honestly don't think they would support real criminals.

You might be surprised bud!

[MOTHERTRUCKERS]

Is it referring to the Sonny Barger defense fund?

[kxmotox247]

I don't know if I would wear that in public. That's a Hell's Angels support shirt. You might find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time wearing that and it might piss some people off. In particular, the Outlaws who are the main rivals.
Biker gangs are definately not dead...I know they're becoming a problem again in Central Illinois. I think the Outlaws just recently set up a clubhouse in Springfield and we're taking recruits.
Be careful wearing that kind of stuff.
Is there anything on the back?

[68c10owner]

well i asked around and nobody knows anything about it. i`m sure it`s just a gimmic to sell shirts. the money may or may not go to a defence fund but either way, they are advertizing their shop. i would`nt have a problem wearing it. i get alot of biker clubs come through the shop i work at. everyone i have meet has been really cool. so what if it`s a h.a support shirt, most bikes i see have some sort of h.a. support sticker on them. not all bikers are criminals. there are bad apples in every group whether it`s bikes, cars, trucks, whatever.

Sorry man...I am a biker and I certainly wasn't implying that all bikers are criminals. That's a pretty silly stretch of the imagination. Have you ever heard of the self-proclaimed 1%-er's? 99% of all bikers follow the law. 1% don't. Clubs like the HA's, the outlaws, etc... take pride in wearing the 1%'er patch. Nothing like advertising that you don't follow the law. Self labeled criminals? Maybe. Maybe not.
There's an expression that goes somewhat like this, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck. I'd sure hate to have somebody get the wrong idea and take a shot at me thinking I was a Hell's Angel. There's gangs around here that are pretty serious. In fact, one of my friends here was a member of a alcohol recovery group. They all rode bikes and decided to form a MC to support recovering addicts. Anyway, they were contacted by the Chicago HA chapter and were told that there colors resembled the HA's colors and that they'd better find a new patch real quick or else.... So yeah, some of these guys take that stuff pretty seriously. I thinking wearing a shirt like that around the house is fine. But wearing it in public might invite unwelcome issues. Just my opinion.
Frisco is a chapter of the Hell's Angels.

Crime Pays!

[67cst]

thanks for all the replies guys, i think that around here im pretty safe, there isnt any huge crime or stuff that might get me in trouble wearing the shirt, i just think it looks good and its different
