Nope, It’s not the Redwood Run but an estimated 10 to 15 Hell’s Angels are in the small town of Garberville today. Not all are flying their colors but many are.

These are bad dudes, and not to be trifled with. I hope they don’t think they can set up camp around here. Humboldt has enough problems already with crime and organized crime – we don’t need that on top of everything else! Wonder if they want a piece of the pie?

Until Sonny Barger took over with the bodies-down-the-well in Boonville, these were most excellent folks… They didn’t prejudge…Just protected the Freaks… Hopefully the same influence will happen. af

I knew the sheriff deputy who dug the bodies out of the well, which I believe was close to Ukiah. They dumped lime into the well (which was mostly dry) to disintegrate the bodies. However, they used slacked lime from the farm supply instead of quick lime. Apparently they didn`t know the difference and this actually preserved the bodies, turning them into a cheese like material. They also welded a body up in a 55 gal drum.

Why would they do this? As if no one would ever think to look in the well? Seems the Hells Angels could have come up with a better plan.

Oh yeah! AWESOME guys! Well…unless they’re beating the shit out of you or you fight back and 8 of them then stomp you. Or if they’re killing somebody and you happen to see and then they kill you too. Other than that they’re pretty awesome. Oh, unless they’re running meth and coke into your county and you see that. Then they have to kill you. But that’s just business! Other times they are awesome and really good neighbors!!!

They use to have a large presence around here and when they were here there was a lot less Vagrents on the street. However you had to deal with the occasional drunken brawl in the street, them strong arming some locals that don’t like them and there was a lot more coke around. Not to mention a large FBI presents especially during the Harley run.

Bikers are capable of the same as u and i….it’s not a fact that the hells angels are bad dudes and your opinion is far from true. You shouldn’t condemn a group of people based on your own ignorant translation it just makes u look like n idiot

Compared to the old Hells Angels, these seem to be clean, clean cut and on the younger side. It seems like they used to be big and burly, frightening in appearance with huge, wild beards and either long, scraggly hair or shaved heads. All the bikes were newer, mostly stock.

I miss the days when they rode shovelheads, pans, a few knuckleheads and an occasional flathead plus an Indian once in a while. Lots of them chopped, of course. I`m guessing there is many a Hells Angel who`s never jumped on a kick starter, knows nothing about tickling the carburetor or the thrill of reaching down and touching the magneto on a damp day.

I hope there are still serious, bad — ass bikers out there. Hopefully these guys are and just don`t look like it.

Back in the 60s, the Hells Angels were the only Law in the Haight-Ashbury, and they did a righteous job of it. They protected us from opportunistic tourists (who thought “free love” was an economic statement) and the cops both. Hard to walk that line, and until Altamont, they did a really good job. What happened next was Speed…and that was the time to go. Thanks, HA and Gypsy Jokers, too, for being there when we needed you. af

I would rather deal with the Hells Angels and have their backs than any of the street gangs, punks, tweakers and thugs we have around here. Hells Angels are family oriented. There may be a portion of the group that are into nefarious shit but oh well. We have people in elected office that are just as smarmy. Have fun 1% ers

There was things going on in eureka with hot rods motorcycle didn’t see many Harleys though. The pride parade. Also OTHER THINGS PEOPLE were mentioning. I would trust them more than most people. Even talk to one on phone when husband’s bike got stolen. Geez people

My oldest brother rode with a group of these dudes back in the 70″s They werent mean, tore up things nor did they wreak havoc where they rode. I know there were some bad dudes in the groups, but 99% of them were awesome folks. They would give you the shirt off their backs. I know when he quit riding with them and was working on the oil pipe-line in Alaska, his entire truck and trailer for the huge pipes got stolen, the “Hell’s Angels” came clear from Michigan to help him out. They found his Kenworth completely burned, in it was everything he owned. Some locals up there had seen his Harley and the jacket the “Angels” had given him and figured he was a “Bad-guy” We as humans were given a brain for a reason, and its not for jumping to conclusions, STOP and THINK before you judge!!! They are good people and deserve to treated like we want to be treated!!!

Question is do you think they could win an election against Downey?

Having them run the Sheriff Dept would be a great way to fight crime and provide security for property owners.

The HCSO is a gang as well, collect dues, wear a uniform, and control the streets, but I think HA could do a much better job and should put up candidates in each triangle county next election.

My godfather was the head of his local chapter before he passed away from complications with diabetes. He loved Garfield and Chihuahuas. The love AND respect he showed to my mother, myself and all the women in his life belie the inherent myths, legends and yes, truths that follow the Hells Angels. For the most part, they aren’t the Sonny Barger HA’s of yesteryear. They have been known to do extraordinary good works like all the annual Toys for Tots runs so unless you know any of them personally I would just keep your opinions to yourself because you only know what you read and what you’ve been told.
Also, for the record, one of the most legendary and heavily attended funerals, was for an African American HA. How do I know this? Because my father also attended that funeral as a journalist, a personal friend of the deceased (as well as many other bikers) but my dad is Jewish as well. Can you guys believe it? A Jew attending an African American bikers funeral??
Jesus, all your preconceived ideas are just such bullshit.

Hunter S. Thompson’s ” Hells Angels ” still a very entertaining,( if not well very well liked by actually Angels).
Who did not see there presence at some point in 1960’s California?
My mother told me that once while visiting what might be called a love in at an L.A park a police riot broke out and if not for the help of an Angel her and myself might have been injured or arrested.

I personally had a very pleasant time speaking to them… They were at the Humboldt house and we’re very kind. I can’t believe all these negative comments People Are People Love Is Love. All I seen was kindness and respect they even helped an elderly lady across the street… and we’re very nice with their compliments. Come on people come together let it be. Learn to love and respect to one another and stop with all the negativity. Much love Peggy Sue Sarver

It is sad that we are so quick to pass judgement on them as a whole for the wrong doing of some in their group. Not everyone is evil, or responsible for some of the horrible acts that have happen in the past. Horrible things happen all over the world does that mean we should isolate or call out a certain family as monsters if their child happens to be a murderer? Does that make all of them murderers? I think not. I have attached a few webpages that show that these men do have hearts too, and they deserve respect just like any one else for there acts of kindness. They do great things too folks.
