Here's a Hells Angels story ...... (I'm sure I've told it before?) ........

A few years ago, me and my lad were on our way to Spain. We were sat on the plane at Liverpool, seats 'd' and 'f'', waiting for the plane to fill up, when this quite big bloke came and sat between us, bald head, suit and tie, leather case, looked like a businessman.
He immediately cracked off with a conversation, introducing himself and shaking hands with us both.
A really nice friendly chap. The chat went from Spain, Ryanair, through building, sport, rugby, St.Helens, Wigan, then business, licenced trade, manufacturing and, inevitably, motorcycles.
Then he told us he was a high ranking member of the HAMC Manchester and was on his way to a marina, near Barcelona, to organise a team of men to get their "yacht" ready for an upcoming charter.
He showed photographs of their Christmas Dinner at the HAMC HQ. All collar and tie, could've been the Freemasons or a meeting of the Inner Temple.
Not a Hells Angel in sight, but they were all Hells angels and their wives.
Turned out we had two 'acquaintences in common', one the founder of 'Bargain Booze' and the other, my coucin, who owns a law firm and has done work for them via. St.Helens RLFC chairman, who happened to be their president.
Final words were, "You must call in one of our open nights and join one of our rides-out".
I didn't take up his offer.

But, the point is, most people get the wrong impression of the Hells Angels. They are a business and also raise substantial funds for charities and imdividuals who are in need of help.
