Ha! Most stylish Black MC around. OF COURSE they took a group shot in front of Helen's! Best Dragons story: I was down in E.P.A. raiding the junkyards, went over to the Soul Bros. H.Q. for some grub, I'm the only White dude in the place,there's 2 Dragons there shooting the breeze w' some S.B.'s, they immediately clam up, 1 of the S.B. start to say something & the Dragon hisses "sssshhh maaaan, not in front uh da Peck-A-Wood!!" The guy who brought me there "Port-o-John" (Portuguese John) made us sit w' them, really creeped them out- so much they split, it turned out that we jumped their claim , when we went back to the yard to siphon gas & they had stacked a bunch of the wrecks (that we picked clean) in a tower formation w' a dead dog on top & a stop sign that they wrote on the back of "FUCK YOU SPIDER MIKE". Those guys live/die to chop/bob & RIDE.
Thanks so much for posting this, Max. As always, you kill it. When you're bored check out my blog - lots of stuff about the Dragons, Chosen Few, and other black biker set stuff. Keep up the good work, and I'll be ordering more 4q gear soon!
I watched The Black Six last night, that flick sucks, but I thought it was great twenty years ago, I can't believe Triumph gave them their bikes, that really saved the company.
are these guys still around?
