Two and a half years ago I survived a riding mistake without injury, but that told me my riding time was over. Gave away the leathers, sold the Harley and bought a Mustang. The 'stang has a much better heater.  The ride was fun while it lasted, but I got past my comfort level and was pretty sure it was gonna kill me if I didn't give it up. I did the same when I was about 25. You can only pick up so many heads on one side of the road, and bodies on the other, before you realize that it's only a matter of time.

Hmm didn't think they would get that close to each other must be divvying up territory or something up to no good even w/o the shooting.
RICOA type case maybe?
Fox originally posted unedited pics from the AP that showed a couple of dirtbags with an extra hole in the head.

Police say 170 bikers were booked into the McLennan County Jail to be charged with Engaging in Organized Crime. That number has decreased from 192, originally reported by police Monday. Each was being held on $1 million bond. Other charges may be pending.

Local news here in N. Texas are saying that all LEO Agencies in TX are on alert to watch for Banditos traveling to Waco.

You mean a low life drug abusing drug trafficking illegal gun running woman abusing thieving drunkard who has committed their life to an organization formed for the explicit purpose of breaking the law?

One hundred seventy outlaw bikers and associates locked up on organized crime and capital murder charges in a single incident, bail set at a million dollars each.
This has got to be a huge coup for Texas Law Enforcement.

Anyone can sit in a stand and shoot a deer over a bait station. How many of you feel comfortable tossing around an 800 pound motorcycle? ...and one more again .... How many of you feel comfortable being stuck behind a whole crew of portly, middle-aged guys in their Korean HOG leathers, Chinese "Official Harley Davidson" boots and Dominican Republican "Official Harley Davidson" skull and crossbones bandannas, ALL of whom are "tossing around" their 800 pound motorcycles at a distinctly sedate rate of speed down a twisty backroad, ruining the experience for the rest of us piled up behind them on actual functioning motorcycles? What if pretty much EVERY decent backroad where you lived was that way anymore? Oh, I don't know. I'm pretty sure I rode my 97 Wide Glide (and a number of bikes before that) fast enough I didn't back traffic up on ANY road. And I've scraped the bottom of the pedals on more than one corner. Not sure it went quite 800 lbs. grin.

This has got to be a huge coup for Texas Law Enforcement. I'd imagine it'll add up to a huge expense in trial cost, too, not to mention the cost of long term incarceration, if they all stand trial and get convicted as charged.

I went into a biker bar at about 11am one morning.
A guy I knew in another lifetime out of Hollywood FL used to run with some HAs in NYC in the late 70s. One story he related to me had him at a clubhouse in the Bronx on a sofa with a HA on one side and a DD or something on the other. Back then NYC was in most ways a LOT more dangerous than what some realize. Even the HAs were concerned enough about getting their scooters ripped off parked on the street and as such would store them in the apartment, one that was on the second and third floor of a building. Anyway, at some point an argument/dispute broke out between these two cats seated on either side of Tom, and him, not wanting to be part of any fisticuffs, went to stand. Before he knew what was happening, the HA had pulled a hatchet, swung it across Tom's face and buried it in the other guy's chest. Tom was made to help haul the guy's body in a carpet and dump it in a dumpster a few blocks away, and had his DL taken from him, ostensibly as insurance; he 'helped' dispose of the body and as such was also party to the killing, and these dudes taking his ID told him that there'd be no ambiguity as to his identity. He moved out of NYC to Boston within the next couple of days. Good times.

This has got to be a huge coup for Texas Law Enforcement. It could cripple or kill the organizations. Can you imagine the plea deals for those that are willing to squeal on the ones they associate and have criminal activities with that weren't even there? Indictments forthcoming.

Similar thing happened to a longtime friend of mine who was living that life. We was of the generation that actually took the movie "Easy Rider" seriously  We graduate, I go off to college, he heads out West seeking to become a biker. Does so many drugs he aggravates a longtime heart condition and has to go in the hospital for open-heart surgery. Right before he goes into the hospital he learns his pretty wife is fooling around with his best friend. Then at a party at his place a fight breaks out and one biker fatally stabs another right in front of him. He goes under the knife, first person he sees when he wakes up is his wife, who tells him she wishes he had died on the operating table. About the second and third people he sees are the Cops and the other bikers respectively. The Cops have all sorts of questions, the bikers tell him if he answers any of those questions he's a dead man. Last time I seen him before I left for Africa (Peace Corps) he's back home in his brother's trailer, WICKED recent incision down his chest, looking out the window every time a vehicle passes by. His buddy who was screwing his wife did take the time and trouble to ship his Harley back to him (wives may come and go, but hey, motorcycles is important ). No worries, he's fat and married, been that way for more'n thirty years, a grandfather now, and as a retired teamster makes more in retirement than I do working. Perhaps I chose the wrong path through life Birdwatcher

Just all the logistics of all those arrests ( I hated paperwork). I Would think they impounded all the bikes, inventories taken of everything. A mountain of paperwork.
