I dunno. I’m on good terms with some of the East Bay Rats. Their head is a friend of a friend and I’ve been at BBQs with them. I grew up hanging out with bikers that were friends of my pot dealing late father. They’re normal, working class guys normally. Nothing particularly wrong with them except they like to brawl and get drunk. That doesn’t make them inherently assholes but they get proprietary about their way of life.
As to whether you want to be near them, they’re around. There are at least three or four MCs within a couple of miles of me.
