They seem to have been the biggest cause of grief where motorcycling is concerned in that area. The last planned MAG rally that I knew of in that area (Magna Carta, some years ago) was banned due to (rumours of?) trouble between them and the Angels. I don't know that they ever held another, but it had been a very successful and long-running event up till then. [/color]

Magna Carta was never held again, cancelation cost MAG or the organisers of the event about £40k. The threat was real although I believe that I'm right in saying that HA USA had something to do with stopping the incident getting out of hand.
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!
