[highlight]Stuff like this always casts a shadow on an otherwise fun event and gives the un-educated public more fuel to cast doubt upon anyone who rides.[/highlight]

CUSTER -- Six bikers affiliated with the Outlaws motorcycle gang were shot late Tuesday afternoon at Legion Lake in Custer State Park, possibly by members of a rival motorcycle gang, according to a spokeswoman for the state Attorney General's Office.

An unconfirmed report by KELO-TV indicated the Outlaws might have been shot by Hells Angels.

  Actually five Outlaw club members were shot.  Another was injured as he tried to escape the authorities.  I live 2 miles outside Custer State Park.  -Listened to the whole thing over about a four hour period on the scanner.  Several federal Marshals were brought in.  There's quite a bit more to the story, but I can't comment because of the public nature of this posting.  I have to play and sing outside the Gold Pan Saloon the next couple of days and don't need any grief.
Since it's been reported that about 450 Outlaws have rented a whole campground inside the park, I would expect there could be some retaliation.  At about the same time, a bike caught fire and burned up on the Custer game loop.    
  Also, I saw a watermelon Ultra SE on the news laying on it's side somewhere outside of Sturgis.  Seems that the rider or possibly another biker tried to do a U-turn on the highway and they collided.  One biker broke both arms plus other injuries.  I hope it isn't someone we all know from this web site.
  I just love the "rally"!  I haven't had so much fun since the pigs ate my little sister.   [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] -Steve

    No surprises Dawg only sadness that the situation never changes. I know people on both sides of this aisle and one on one they are not that different than you and I. I have no idea why they do what they do - - hell I have no idea anymore why I spent 15 years of my life living that way either. The thing that bothers me the most is that in the old days, Sturgis,and Daytona were neutral. The was an unspoken rule that these feuds were put aside during the events. For whatever reason, Laconia was not. Laconia was a war zone in the old days and has actually improved hugely in the past few years. Maybe after this, Sturgis will see some sort of return to the old days of neutrality. I hope so. Too many people with no stake in things get caught in the crossfire of these feuds.

Forget Laughlin ?
                       chit Dawg, I was still flyin colors when that went down. Had no choice which side to be on as there were agreements in place. Ask me at MV to tell you how that went down. I still have nightmares over that weekend.

You know "B" they are just like that bunch in the middle east. They have been fighting for ever.

-----------------------------------------------------------
 In the Middle East they've been fighting due to Religious Beliefs. With the OMG's its constant battle over respect and "business" related issue's.
 Just finished reading a very good book called "Under and Alone" by William Queen an Undercover Agent for the ATF who ran with the Mongol's for about 2 years. I found it to be a very insightful look at the culture and mentality of these gangs. I know I learned a lot about street etiquette from the book and have been lucky in the past that when in the company of such parties that I never got hurt. Never tried to get too close though either.
