Check DR1. They have been squacking about them for a few days now. Saw them all over the place the last 2 weeks. They were in Passions everytime i went there at night.

If possible please post the link where you read they bought the taxi mafia out.

Never mind: You probally mistook one article saying they reportedly own a car rental company in Sosua and POP along with the posibillity of hotels.

What I have experience from them over the years from various bike rallies and events is if you don't bother them, they won't bother you. I always give them a wide berth when I see them at the same events that I attended and never had any problems.

Why do you give them a " wide berth " while at biker events. Is it respect or intimidation?

[Ram]

My last trip in September they were in Sosua life. On guy sat on the main bar for most of the night. I would love to see how long I could sit on the bar and not be told to sit on a chair!! LOL
They had a few tough looking dominicans kinda keeping an eye on things for them.

They were having a good time and not bothering anyone.

[Gladiator]

I think Hell Angels are ok, as long as you don't cross them in their line of business.

[Hemp]

They are well respected on the bikers "Set" they dont bother anyone and they dont like to be bothered...they just like to go about there business and activities, they have a club house around the corner from my home.

you barely know they are there, except the summer time...there always coming and going. some really NICE screamers rolling outta there!!!

I worked for one once in CT. You dont fuck with them. Period.

If you read the paranoid bullshit from the "know it all" old farts on DR1 you would believe that Cabarete had turned into Sodom and Gomorrah with the "new" arrival of HA.
In fact they have been coming here for at least a decade. Many live here full-time and own houses and businesses just like the rest of us ex-pats.
I have lived in Cabarete for the last 6 years and I count some of the HA as friends, including my next door neighbour.
They never bother anyone and are not bothered by anyone.
They are here for the same reasons everyone else comes here, sun, freedom and pussy!
Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

[Corrado]

All this "don't fuck with", and "don't bother" stuff is not really needed. Neither is giving them wide "berth", unless you just don't like being around bikers. Treat HA's or any other men the way you want to be treated. If you see a man......speak to him, if he is cool........drink with him. How many people just go out of their way to fuck with total strangers......not many......I would guess not many on this board. The rules would apply to any man or group of men:

Don't fuck with his money

Don't fuck with his main lady

Don't fuck with his ride

I've known members of various clubs, it always comes to respect as a man.

EDIT: Most of the guys I know in clubs are good guys, veterans, patriotic....just got to get to know them to get past the "Hollywood" that goes with the club names.

[bentwire]

thats the way to go, very good post, i have partied with helss angels in a few cou ntries i have been to and they were all good people probably better than most!,, Had a good time in LaUnion Philippines hanging with the club

Willie, if you are comfortable with a criminal organization slowly working their way into your community then all the power to you. The Angels are estimated to have made over 1 billion in drug transactions in 2006.

Are the other expats affiliating themselves with local gang members? Did the HA get the money to buy the houses and businesses with their pensions and 401k plans? Wake the fuck up............. I ain't no paranoid DR1 old fart. These guys may not be doing the actual dirty work but they are behind it. Or were behind it in the past.

Years ago there was guy around my area that was well respected, ran a few businesses and always had a kind word. His neighbors all liked him and even when he was thought to be involved in organized crime they defended him. Even insulated him from media and police. He was a mentor and helped some local kids go from housing project reject to college. He was one of the good guys who turned his life around and went clean after a stay in Alkertraz. So everyone thought.

The FBI say he is wanted in connection with crimes from the 70's and 80's. So he may have turned himself around by the time he was in your area,......unless by "years ago" you mean "decades ago". Was he still involved in organized crime in your town or wanted on previous charges? A good rep is a powerful thing. Politicians can tell lies to a voters face, but can almost always rally supporters to back his lie up ......if his rep can take the pounding.

Whitey Bulgers been around forever. From everything I've read I didn't think it was ever assumed he was ever out of the crime business. But I've just read bits and pieces over the years. And I certainly didn't live near him.

[guttaman]

OK, i was using Whitey as an example of organized crime and how the top guys insulate themselves and live off the suffering caused by their underlings. One of the guys in Cabarete has a son believed to be running the HA in Quebec now. It is not like the HA have been broken up and these guys decide to retire to Cabarete. Once a HA, always a HA. You think they decide to give up easy drug money to run a business in the DR. A car rental business to boot. To actually believe they are on a drug island just for sun and fun, booze and whores or some other innocent reason is naive.

I hope to be proven wrong and these geriatric bikers have no other ulterior motives but i doubt it. Too much corruption and drugs in the DR. They may be of no concern to anyone now because people can rationalize that they mind their own business and bother no one. But reality says they are a drug cartel.

I know the DR1 thread is a bit out there with meth lab speculations and Canadians getting labeled as mules coming from the DR and so on......... Big bunkers and fortresses..........

I am sure LE in Canada and the States are well aware of the nice pensioners vacationing or retired in the DR. Lets just wait and see. Someone had to be the brains behind this one: http://www.newsdurhamregion.com/news.../article/85758

Now that makes sense...

[Citynights]

I edited my first post to say they have car rentals services....the reason I posted this thread was to point out they are there in force....50 angels during the year all from Quebec.....some making as many as 10 trips remember that a chapter only has around 12 members ....admitting the LOS BARRACOS to prospect level...remember these are angels from the bikers war that started in the 90s In Quebec and claimed over 160 people killed including alot of innocent people caught in the crossfires and bombings...I wrote this because of our friends who live there and how this may effect them long term...

[G Major]

....admitting the LOS BARRACOS to prospect level...

Oh yeah ? Hells Angels By-Laws clearly stated : members can not be African Americans. Might have changed though...

I was surprised to read Kanesetake, Quebec on 2 HA patches. Is there a new native American/Canadian Chapter being born? Never heard of this MC before. Saw 2 members in Sosua 2 weeks ago.
