Did I ever tell you about the summer I hung out with a few Hells Angels bikers?
True story and it's such a special memory.
It was the summer following my freshman year in college, and Mike and I left Salem, Massachusetts for 3 months in Fairbanks, Alaska.
It felt like the summer of a lifetime.... My sister worked at the local VFW near base, and we would go hang out twice a week when they had burger night.
She was the bartender so she got to know the regulars really well, and a few of them just happened to be bikers in the Hells Angels.
They were actually really friendly and accepting... One of the older members seemed to take a fancy to me, and he would sit and tell me stories from his past.
He had traveled all over and had stories about Charles Manson and Janis Joplin.
He often told me that I reminded him of Janis.
One weekend we even traveled with them to Denali National Park and spent a weekend partying with them! 🥳
My sister clearly trusted them very much, because she even let me go on a ride with the one alone... Looking back, I'm surprised Mike let me! 🤭
It's one of those summers that I fondly remember, and something that still surprises me to this day! 😳
I have a few stories that would make me shutter if Alex did the same. 😬😉
