Yeah I used to drink in the Jolly porter quite a bit. But I recall seeing any patches in there. :confused: Mainly just sportsbike riders etc. mind you I wasn't really looking.

I used to live about 100 yards away from it, behind the Artful dodger.

hmm might be worth a visit again I reckon.

Next time your down let us know as I may be around we could meet up

I probably wont be down until next march or thereabouts but I will bear it in mind. I think the group at the Jolly Porter are mainly weekend bikers, but I hear they have the downstairs room as a clubhouse of sorts and help the management out with a bit of muscle when needed.
 
where do you live, pogofish? Bristol?

I know there's an HA bar (as opposed to Bob Marley-bepostered coffee shop) right in the centre of the RLD in Amsterdam, pretty unpleasant imo, dunno the name though.

That's it. Its a coffee shop as well as a bar, if by "coffee shop" you mean "marijuana emporium."
 
Oh, I obviously missed that bit, sorry for confusing things (I was pretty confused myself).

Taxamo: I read that Tony Thingy book, too - it was fucking bollocks. I thought it was going to be a bit smarter but it was actually just a "true crime" string of half-arsed anecdotes that could have come out of Take a Break!'s real life pages.
proper shit wasn't it mate? how the fuck that muppet can claim to be the corro for the Observer i don't know...

I didn't buy it though, i ponced it off a ponce whilst on my travels :D

BTW i just went past a biker bar in Sao Paulo last night, and my gosh did they look the part! Just com back from some shit art gallery opening where we had been promised free bar(didn't happen) and the bikes were nice slap of straightforward art that made you smile.

I think the dutch passed a law prohibiting sale of alcohol and cannabis in the same venue.

Maz, who used to "run" the UK angels chapter (may still do but I am not up to date) used to spend a lot of time doing cahridy stuff in order to raise the imoage of the UK angels. There is however and always has been a more, shall we say, traditional element to the MC scene too.
I think the Maz you are talking about was a member of the Kent Chapter of the Hells angels.

His real name was Dr. Ian Harris phD and he is now dead iirc he died on his way to the Bulldog Bash in 2000.

He wrote the book Bikers: Birth of a Modern Day Outlaw & was the UK hells angels spokesman and press officer.

It's called The Other Place if its the one you have to go up about 6 steps to there is also a tattoo place underneath or there is a Bar where you can also smoke but doesn't sell weed just over the canal about 150 meter on the left both are owned by the Hells angels, they do a really good t-shirt pop in and have a look)

You can buy alcohol in some coffeeshops it depends on what licence they have. (Unless they have changed the law in the last few months)

For anyone else that's interested, it's "Gangland Britain" by Tony Thompson, I just found it on my shelves.
 
Met some guys in Croydon 1990 who said they were Road Rats, they used to drink in the Ship Inn. Dont remember any patches although there were a lots of bikes around.
 
Anyone come across this lot. commitatus midgard mc based in Dartford where they have a pub.

www commitatus com <link broken>

They seem to have some very dodgy connections, entries on their guestbook from the NF, N9S, and Blood and Honour (Croatia).

I think you will find the Mongrels from New Zealand have the "honour" of being the most violent biker gang on the planet.
the mongrel mob are NOT a bike club,they are just a mob of violent thugs that get around in cars,bikes or anything else they can rip off.they do not wear patches but small rockers on their backs[sometimes] they should be avoided.
in australia the rebels would be the largest club.the angels,banditos,gypsy jokers,finks,black uhlans,outlaws,satans slaves,nomads,commencherros,club deroes,highway 61,lone wolf,renegades and a host of others are not to be trifled with.these are serious clubs and dont take shit off anyone.there has been a lot of interclub rivalry[mostly drug related]going on for years in australia but if you dont get into that sort of shit they leave you alone.all of the clubbers i know are loyal to their clubs first and everything else second and nobody i know fucks with them

Please yourself, I will tell the member of them currently in Britain, who I will see over the weekend of 7th/8th/9th of October that you don't think they are a motorcycle gang.

Fuck off. Like all gangs there's lots of bad bastards but also lots of guys who are in it for community and because they've had a bloody rough ride from everyone else. I knew some top blokes in the Mob, great dealers and sound blokes to know if you had a spot of bother.

Edit: yeah, some have four wheels, some have two wheels.
 
The Mardyke is the classic bikers pub in Bristol, always various patches on display there, although I've no idea whether it's as popular as it used to be.

There's a massive Hardly Dangerous rally in Talgarth every year and such folk can frequently be found loitering around Llandovery, on the A470 between Merthyr and Brecon, etc.

That's about all I know, 2 wheels bad 4 wheels good and all that. ;)
 
I remember a few years ago, one of the most well-known Angels died and his funeral cortege went up Brixton Hill. Hundreds and hundreds of bikes and trikes(sp?), escorted by police. Was a brilliant sight. Bought the whole of Brixton Hill to a standstill :cool:

Was when I went there over 10 years ago. My b/f took me there. Used to be his regular hangout along with another one right by the canal (can't remember the name).

you fuck off,for a start how can you be a member of an outlaw motorcycle club if you dont own a bike?secondly,to become a member of the mongrel mob you must have served time in prison.thirdly,they tried to start a chapter in perth w a about 16-17 years ago but for the first time in australian outlaw bikie history, the gypsy jokers,the coffin cheaters,the club deroe's and gods garbage all sent reps around and shot the mobs leader and they all done time for it.needless to say they would have shot the lot of them but the rest of them pissed off out of w a never to be seen again.i know the gods garbage rep that did the time so you ask ya mongrel mob mate about that.he is probably in england hiding from the law over here.i wouldn't trust any of the bastards and if you do good luck because one day you will need it

I don't think anything,I know they are not a motorcycle club.why dont you google them up and see for yourself.they are a street gang from new zealand and some of their members ride bikes,most steal cars and if there is one or two in your neck of the woods, it means that they are wanted by the law over here or kiwi land and they have travelled halfway around the world to hide.ask the "member" what happened in perth w a 16-17 years ago.scumbags

I don't need to Google them. A comprehensive guide to the most dangerous gangs in the world was screened on an obsure TV channel recently.
I also had a long chat with one of them at a motocycle rally in France back in July. (A lot of so called Hells Angels don't ride motorcycles either).

youve just said it yourself.quote"most dangerous gangs".where is the word motorcycle?also,in my neck of the woods hells angels are forbidden to wear a patch if they are travelling by car.i think you will find this is the same with all outlaw clubs.however the member would cettainly own a bike as he cannot be a member without one.that is the basic and fundemental rule in any outlaw club.
so is it clear to you yet toby?mongrel mob=disorginized rabble,outlaw clubs =bikies with purpose

You can come and tell that to the HA who turn up at the Lion Rally in taxis, if you like.
