Here's a link to a news story that we should all probably be intersted in:

Basically, London ON police busted two MP's in order to put pressure on the Hell's Angels. With an increased biker presence in the GTA lately a side effect of the manouvers between them and LE may be more scrutiny on MP's and SC's.

I am more of a SC hobbiest and am concerned that the recent decline in mileage in clubs has been caused by clubs going on the defensive. I really have no idea about the pervasiveness of bike gangs or other organized crime in the clubs but I assume that there is some involvement in certain clubs. In fact, back in the fall I noticed a strong presence of gang colours in one of the most popular clubs. Since then mileage has dropped and there has been a heavy LE presence (according to this board. I haven't gone there very often since then) even in their VIP lounges.

Too often politicians get the blame for heat on SC's and MP's that I think is misplaced.

It will be interesting to see how these dynamics play out.

There but for the grace of God good Doctor. Always a little nervous of the ownership of these places, except of course the Lady Kayla. I think I will name my next ketch after her. I really like the cut of her jib.
