Wait.. isn't that the Dukes, an actual gang from Coney Island?

If so, it isn't really surprising that this gang have tried to replicate the Warbird.

We’re not certain - that pic of The Dukes may predate the movie, so it just might not be replication

I was sporting "skull and wing" paraphernalia as far back as 1976, three years before the movie!

I once even got the evil eye from a Hells Angel at Max's Kansas City... anyone remember that pivotal NYC rock establishment?
