THE HELLS ANGELS MC TIES TO ORGANIZED CRIME
#HELLSANGELS #HELLSANGELSMC #HELLSANGELSCANADA
Sergio Piccirilli, 62, is by his own admission a childhood friend of Salvatore Cazzetta, 67, a leader among the Hells Angels in Quebec. Piccirilli was also once a member of the Devils Ghosts, a support club of the notorious biker gang. Also, during 2005 and 2006, he had a part in a very heated dispute between the Rizzuto organization and a group based in Granby involved in smuggling marijuana into the U.S.

🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services. You see proof of this everyday on the front pages of newspapers, the homepages of news websites, and countless blogs. Mainstream reporters and non-traditional journalists routinely report on earnings announcements, job lay-offs, and accounting scandals without worrying that they are infringing or diluting the trademarks of the companies and organizations they report on. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the news source and the trademark owner; nominative fair use protects this use of the trademark owner's mark; and the federal dilution statute expressly exempts "news reporting and news commentary" from a dilution claim. See 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(B). As noted above, one court has held that a blogger's critical commentary on a company qualified as "news reporting and news commentary." See BidZirk, LLC v. Smith, 2007 WL 3119445 (D.S.C. Oct. 22, 2007).
Trademark law does not permit a trademark owner to use its trademark rights to silence commentary and criticism. As with news reporting, courts recognize the important First Amendment values at stake and usually deny efforts by trademark owners to encroach on legitimate commentary and criticism. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the commentator and the trademark owner, and nominative fair use may protect this use of the trademark owner's mark. Additionally, courts are likely to find that your use of a trademark in commentary or criticism is "not in connection with a good or service" and "noncommercial" (the argument is especially strong for the latter category). But note that some courts may find your use of a trademark for criticism and commentary to be commercial if you host advertising or link to commercial websites. In any event, to defeat a trademark dilution claim, you do not even need to show that your use is noncommercial. The federal dilution statute creates a categorical exemption for "criticizing . . . or commenting upon the famous mark owner or the goods or services of the famous mark owner." 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(A)(ii). 🔥

DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN OUTLAWS , HELLS ANGELS and KNIGHTS OF SIN MC
#OUTLAWSMC #HELLSANGELSMC #KNIGHTSOFSINMC
Harley-Davidson is facing two separate lawsuits in California and Wisconsin from owners who claim the motorcycle company threatened to void their motorcycles’ warranties if they didn’t pay for service at H-D dealerships using factory parts. The motorcycle owners have brought two class-action suits against Harley-Davidson,Reuters reports.
These latest legal challenges come after the Federal Trade Commission ordered Harley in late June to stop telling owners that aftermarket parts would void their warranties. Threatening to void a vehicle warranty if aftermarket parts are installed is illegal under the right to repair law.

SCREWING WITH THE HELLS ANGELS MC
#HELLSANGELSMC #HELLSANGELS #HELLSANGELS
STURGIS BUFFALO CHIP, S.D. — Since 1989, Easyriders Magazine has partnered with the Sturgis Buffalo Chip to host what they call biker rodeos.
These rodeos are a series of motorcycle games and competitions, such as a slow race where the last one to cross the finish line is the winner, a barrel race, and a balloon toss where backseat riders throw a water balloon over an obstacle and catch it on the other side.

PAGANS MC MEMBER THIS GUY WAS NOT | DANGEROUS MISTAKE
#PAGANSMC #PAGANSMCTEXAS #JARHEADMC
A jury on Tuesday acquitted a commercial truck driver of causing the 2019 deaths of seven motorcyclists in a head-on collision in northern New Hampshire.
Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 26, of West Springfield, Massachusetts, had pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of negligent homicide, manslaughter, driving under the influence, and reckless conduct, although some of the charges were dropped during the trial. He has been in jail since the crash on June 21, 2019, in Randolph.
His trial began on July 26.

NEW LEADER OF NOTORIOUS OUTLAW MOTORCYCLE CLUB EMERGES
#JARHEADSMC #HELLSANGELSMC #HELLSANGELS
ONCORD, N.H. — A substance made when the body breaks down heroin was present a truck driver’s blood just hours after he was involved ina 2019 crash that killed seven motorcyclists,a forensic toxicologist testified Monday.
The metabolite, referred to as “6-MAM,” is unique to heroin and was found in the driver’s blood below “below the reporting limit,” the concentration of substances that can be measured accurately, said Donna Papsun of Pennsylvania-based NMS Labs. She had been asked to do additional testing by the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory.

MOTORCYCLE CLUB BAR SHOOTOUT | IT'S THE WILD WEST
#AVENGERSMC #MOTORCYCLECLUBS #BAR
The National Highway Safety Administration states that motorcycles make up 3% of registered vehicles in the United States, but represent 14% of traffic fatalities. Mike Ball, a well-known figure in the motorcycle community, was almost included in the number of traffic fatalities when he was in a horrifying motorcycle accident that altered his life. He continues to ride in spite of losing a limb.
At 25 years old, Mike Ball was involved in a near-fatal collision that dismembered his left leg. On the afternoon of March 6, 2021, in Huntington Beach, California, Ball was headed toward Indianapolis Street when a driver made a left turn from the opposite side of the street, hitting Ball.

DID I MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE? I'M KEEPING THE DYNA LOWRIDER
#HARLEYDAVIDSON #HARLEY #DYNALOWRIDER
Over the last few months I’ve been going over and over in my head if I should keep my 2015 Dyna Lowrider. I’ve been having reservations about the purchase lately, especially since it’s a one person motorcycle in my opinion. I do have the Suzuki Boulevard to lug Chinadoll on, but I was going back and forth between keeping the Dyna Lowrider or Getting a Street Glide.
During the decision process I kept the motorcycle completely stock, not wanting to invest any money into it for someone else to ride. After much thought I’ve decided to keep it and start on the customization.

THE HELLS ANGELS TAKE A VICTORY LAP | MOTORCYCLE CLUBS BEWARE
#HELLSANGELS #HELLSANGELSMC #MOTORCYCLECLUBS
Online retailer Redbubble has been ordered to pay $78,000 in damages to the Hells Angels for selling items displaying the outlaw motorcycle gang's logo.
The court ruling was the second against Redbubble in three years, after it was penalised $5000 for selling items marked with the Hells Angels symbol in 2019.
Redbubble argued that it had undertaken moderation, removing some items that had been emblazoned with the name and death's-head symbol.

“There’s been four or five new ones pop up in the Lower Mainland in the last year,” he said. “The farm team system for the HAs is very alive and well.”

PAGANS MC MEMBER GETTING SHOT IN DRIVE BY FUELS FEARS OF CLUB WARS

You cannot complain when people call clubs a motorcycle gang. When you have motorcycle clubs involved in Drive Bys what are you supposed to call it. First you have the shooting on the Vagos MC in Vegas, now another one on the East Coast. When will these motorcycle clubs learn this will bring nothing but heat?

#JARHEADSMC #JARHEADS #Zhukovskyy
The last rider in a group of Marine motorcycle club members testified Wednesday that he saw a “ball of flame” and then a truck “plowing through motorcycles like a bowling ball” in a 2019 crash in New Hampshire that killed seven bikers.
Michael McEachern testified in the trial of the truck driver, Volodymyr Zhukovskyy. He said he saw the westbound truck, which was pulling a flatbed trailer, hit some of the eastbound riders shortly after the group left a motel to head to an American Legion post for a meeting that June 21.

🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services. You see proof of this everyday on the front pages of newspapers, the homepages of news websites, and countless blogs. Mainstream reporters and non-traditional journalists routinely report on earnings announcements, job lay-offs, and accounting scandals without worrying that they are infringing or diluting the trademarks of the companies and organizations they report on. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the news source and the trademark owner; nominative fair use protects this use of the trademark owner's mark; and the federal dilution statute expressly exempts "news reporting and news commentary" from a dilution claim. See 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(B). As noted above, one court has held that a blogger's critical commentary on a company qualified as "news reporting and news commentary." See BidZirk, LLC v. Smith, 2007 WL 3119445 (D.S.C. Oct. 22, 2007).
Trademark law does not permit a trademark owner to use its trademark rights to silence commentary and criticism. As with news reporting, courts recognize the important First Amendment values at stake and usually deny efforts by trademark owners to encroach on legitimate commentary and criticism. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the commentator and the trademark owner, and nominative fair use may protect this use of the trademark owner's mark. Additionally, courts are likely to find that your use of a trademark in commentary or criticism is "not in connection with a good or service" and "noncommercial" (the argument is especially strong for the latter category). But note that some courts may find your use of a trademark for criticism and commentary to be commercial if you host advertising or link to commercial websites. In any event, to defeat a trademark dilution claim, you do not even need to show that your use is noncommercial. The federal dilution statute creates a categorical exemption for "criticizing . . . or commenting upon the famous mark owner or the goods or services of the famous mark owner." 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(A)(ii). 🔥

ARE MOTORCYCLE CLUBS DYING?
#MOTORCYCLECLUBS #MC #ONEPERCENTER
Over Are motorcycle clubs dying? Almost every club has seen a
decline in membership. A few clubs have folded due to lack of
interest, dwindling funds, increased costs, aging members, and
other factors that eventually bring the club to its knees. The
club’s engine seized and it was tearfully abandoned by the side
of the road.

THE MONGOLS MC | ATF CICCONE & LIL DAVE RELATIONSHIP
#LILDAVE #MONGOLSMC #MONGOLSCALIFORNIA
A former ATF agent denied during courtroom testimony Friday that a now-deposed leader of the notorious Mongols Motorcycle Club served as a secret source of information for the government during a lengthy legal battle over whether the outlaw group should be deemed a criminal organization.
Club attorneys are seeking a new trial, alleging that former Mongols President David Santillan was secretly a government “rat” who served as a confidential informant for a then-agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives during a 2019 criminal trial against the motorcycle club that played out at the federal courthouse in Santa Ana.

OUTLAW MOTORCYCLE CLUBS | THIS IS THE LIFE WE CHOSE
#BIKERS #OUTLAWMOTORCYCLECLUBS #MCPROTOCOL
Outlaw motorcycle clubs, they’re always the talk of the biker scene. Why is that? Is it because people think motorcycle clubs represent the scene as a whole? Or is it simply that’s what we let everyone believe. If you choose to be in an outlaw motorcycle club then you should have a set of principles that you stick by, even after you leave the motorcycle club. I simply doesn’t seem that way anymore and we’re going to step into why that is so in this episode
