    Well it is a bit silly, of course. But I flirted on the outskirts of biker culture way back (in the nyc area) and some of it rings true. Knew a few guys that rode as "friends" of the HA's, and hung at a bar where the HA's would pop in occasionally. But the show is totally over the top and ridiculous - but for me the acting and the dramatic setups and the well done action scenes are just the bees knees. Behind the plot silliness there seems to be a very true human story there, or at least one trying to get out.

    I think there's a certain appeal that the biker myth has as well...although the myth and the reality are pretty far apart - which is something the show itself I think explores in a very interesting way.
