Hells Angels arrive: Members of motorcycle club roar into town and order ... Kool-Aid

In less than two hours, they made nearly $200 - after subtracting overhead costs for sugar, ice and drink packets - and learned a thing or two about the theory of supply and demand. As the bikers kept arriving, the siblings scrambled to fill and refill a Coleman thermos with bug juice and water, which they siphoned from a neighbor's spigot. Meanwhile, the Angels accepted half-full Dixie cups and flipped the boys $5 bills for their troubles (a cup of Kool-Aid costs 25 cents, but most club members tip around 1,000 percent).

That's a pretty cool story. :)​
 
Don't be taken in by this kind of PR. The Hell's Angles are great at this sort of stuff - buying Kool-Aid, playing softball with the town folk, etc. But behind it all they are what they are.

"That's what they want you to believe: 'We're the Rotary Club on wheels,' " Coronado says.

But he says the reality is that the Hells Angels are a "major organized crime entity" dealing in narcotics, prostitution, money laundering, murder for hire and stolen goods, especially stolen Harleys. Investigators with the Department of Justice say the Hells Angels have matured from their early days as drunken brawlers to become the country's largest and most sophisticated organized crime syndicate, although attempts to prove as much in court have thus far failed.

Yep, I knew they were no "angels" in the traditional sense. Hopefully, these kids ran into the milder of the gang.

If it is not provable in court then maybe it is not true?

It is not unheard of to be accused and not guilty.

With their reputation?

It took quite a few attempts before The Teflan Don was convicted.
