Don’t worry about the bikers

I used to own a bar in Ocean Beach, California, and sometimes we would have 30 or so bikes out front. There were choppers, dressers and everything in between. Sometimes a few Hell’s Angels would come in. We NEVER had a problem with the bikers, they were ladies and gentlemen, and behaved.

On the other hand, if we had commercial fishermen in the bar they would rip the sinks off the walls in the restrooms.
